The 2nd copy will beyour passenger copy to take with you.It is important to note that the pre-authorization is only an estimate of the amount that could be utilised during your time onboard. This pre-authorisation is not anactual debit and the amount is BLOCKED on your credit card for the period of 7-15 working days after your disembarkation. After this period has lapsed your bankautomatically releases the pre-authorised amount.

Can I use my cruise card for purchases at the ports of call?No. The cruise cards are only used to charge expenses and purchases to your onboard bill, and have no value besides for purchases and expenses onboard the ship.For these destinations you would require credit cards/ cash / travellers cheques etc as you would normally when travelling.What money do I use in the Casino?The Casino only accepts CASHThe Casino does not accept credit cards or cheques – only cash.Q.
