My friend has no credit cards. She booked with a TA that took checks. For the cruise, she bought herself a Visa Credit Card and had no problems at all on the ship. Just be sure to put enough on the card and check your balance at Guest relations or on the TV, if available, frequently. She ended up going a little over. Of course I lent her the money. Don't know what would have happened if I had not had extra plus my credit card.

You can use cash for your on board account.

I think that you can get the Visa check cards at many stores, Walgreens, Wal-Mart, etc. It's not like sending for a regular credit card and waiting until it arrives. When you purchase the card, you put on the amount that you want on there.

You have to PAY for a Visa pre-paid card--silly! Just bring cash and put it on the account. Call RCI and find out if there is a "required" amount.

Q: How do I pay for onboard purchases?

 

A: All of Royal Caribbean International ships operate on a "cashless" system, meaning your boarding card, (also known as your SeaPass card), will be used as a charge card to make all onboard purchases. Normally to activate this SeaPass account, most guests provide a credit card, (American Express, Optima, MasterCard, Visa, Discover and Diner's Club), to have these purchases charged to at the end of their cruise. Additionally, the SeaPass system may be activated with traveler's checks, debit cards or cash.

 

A running tab of all your purchases will be kept under separate folio numbers for each guest and an itemized statement left in your stateroom the night before disembarkation. If you provided a credit card and there are no discrepancies, the amount will be charged to your account on the morning of disembarkation. If you have used traveler's checks or cash to activate the account, you will need to settle the account at the Guest Relations desk, (to either receive a reimbursement of the unused amount you originally left or to pay the balance of what you have charged over the amount of what you originally left).

 

Please note:

We require guests to place a deposit if they are paying for their SeaPass account with cash. There is a $500 daily limit on cash accounts for 7+ night sailings and $300 for 2/3/4/5 night sailings. Once the daily cash limit is reached, we will call the guest and inform the guest that the limit has been reached
