Casino and cash question

[Genessa]

Hi everyone , 

 

seasoned cruiser, but first time on Celebrity. I tried searching for a while but can’t find the info I am looking for 

 

can I charge casino money to my room - slots or table games, as a room charge, or should I just bring gambling cash with me?

 

thanks, 

 

Aggie

Either works

You will be charged 5% if you charge your room. I would bring cash to avoid that!

If you have OBC, you can charge to your room on a machine.  Put 50% at risk and you may cash out the rest as hard currency.

HI boontj2003, I have been searching for this answer on Celebrity's website, even the FAQ link provided above, and cannot find a reference to a fee.  My specific question is this:  If a person has a credit card linked to their on board account (which is required), and you purchase casino chips at a table and charge them to your account, is there a fee charged?   Have you been charged the 5% recently?

I’m Amethyst on Celebrity, so don’t pay a fee. When I did not have casino status, yes they charge you.

Stopped on patio for a nice view.  The temps were like a furnace.
