Can you put cash onto on board account?

My daughter is going on the Epic, and we were wondering if cash could be put onto account! Obviously,a card would be registered on embarkation

Does the cash have to be dollars? If she had pound notes could they be added?Her boyfriend rang NCL & was told only dollars notes accepted. I sailed on Jade 2 years ago and paid off in Pounds, & euros. Has it changed?

Yes, once on the ship, you can go to guest services and apply cash to your account. Many people do this so that the credit card they used at check-in doesn't really get charged unless the cash runs out.

 

I do not know, however, if they accept anything other than dollars. The amount due is calculated in dollars. They may accept other currencies, but that might be subject to a service fee to do an exchange first. I believe NCL charges a flat $5 or $10 per currency exchange. But they may waive this if you are just paying your account. Hopefully someone else will have first hand experience.

Couple of weeks ago on Jade there was a passenger in front of me in the line and they couldn't even break euros to smaller denominations without paying the $10 fee (they left the desk visibly upset), so I don't think that paying off onboard account would work either.
