Money Matters on Cruise vacations
There are many doubts one has about the amount of money one needs to carry on cruise vacations. Mostly on a cruise one gets an on board cruise card which can be used like a credit card. One can get this activated by using your normal credit card. Another advantage of this card is that it is also used as an identification card when you are on board and also when you leave at the port. One can make purchases using this card and also give access to many places on the ship. One should check the balances regularly especially when on a budget as the entire amount spent on the card will have to be paid for later. Also check the statements so that you pay the correct amount. The entire amount that you spend on this card will be billed to your credit card.
Your personal cheques are mostly not accepted on board so there is no point carrying them. all you need is to bring some cash and mostly use the credit cards. But be careful so that you do not go over board and spend outside your budget which you have planned for the vacation.
