On Board Casino Money Charges

[jinteso]

A marker is basically a line of credit. Some people may not want to do that.

I just found out above that you can also "pre-deposit" money with the casino. I just need to call them and figure out how now. Then you can still ask for a marker and not have a line of credit.

The ATMs always a have a fee.

 

Any cash you get form the casino no matter how you accomplish it (unless you are a high level casino card holder) incurs a 3% fee. Having OBC is irrelevant.

 

There are slot tournys, you can charge them to your account, no 3%.

 

You can cash out the money you have in a slot machine at any time.

Thanks, just wanted to make sure I can use on board credit in casino.

The same with poker & blackjack tourneys.

Al long as it is refundable OBC you can.

I believe it's non refundable - maybe someone can answer for sure $50 from NCL $40 from travel agent.

That's not very much. You don't think you are going to spend $90 throughout your cruise? If it were me, i wouldn't worry about whether I could cash it out in the casino because my onboard account will have accumulated more than that.

I've been on 40 plus cruises & the only charge on my onboard account is the gratuities which I understand on NCL cannot be taken out of non refundable OBC, that's why I'm asking.

[victory2020]

NCL does not charge gratuities, I think you mean the DSC, that (since it is a like cash item, cannot be paid for with non-refundable OBC.

Yes, I consider DSC the same as the basic gratuities on other lines. I know you cannot use non refundable OBC for those, just trying to figure out if non refundable can be used for slot machines, and if I can get cash out if I have win(fat chance) or don't use all the amount I have loaded to casino.

No non-refundable cannot be used for anything 'near cash'.

 

I've been able to use non-refundable OBC by obtaining cash in the Breakaway's casino on several occasions. I just paid the 3% charge for doing so.

 

Admittedly it's been at least a year since I've done that. Do you have personal experience that it wasn't allowed recently?

Wow. Only the DSC? Not even taxes on drinks? Never buy a future cruise certificate? With 40 plus cruises sounds like you would have saved a lot of money using them. Do you never take a cruise line excursion? Spa? Photos? Specialty restaurants? I can't imagine the only thing on my bill just being the DSC. More power to you.

Nope, do 2-3 cruises a year & am happy with the basics. I do buy future cruise certificates on Princess, my usual line & they do not charge them to onboard account. I haven't sailed NCL since 2000 & am only going because of Cuba.
