Prepay Visa for on board account?

[xowendyxo]

Does anyone know if you are able to link a prepay Visa card for on board expenses?

 

We are taking my nephew on our cruise in April, he and my son are in a different room, and my sister would just like to send him with a prepaid Visa.

I would think Guest Services would be able to apply the balance to his room. He may need to make $100 worth of charges first and then use the Visa to wipe the balance. Ask when you board.

Perfect! Thank you!

 

I was just looking at the online check in and didn't see that!

Also an option is to buy Carnival e-gift cards from Amazon, they sell them in up to $100 increments, it is also a good way to stick to a per day spending limit.
