Guests may also use a checking account debit card, as long as it is a registered VISA or MasterCard. Regular ATM debit cards are not acceptable. Parents' credit cards are not acceptable, even with the parents' written permission. All charges will be automatically billed to the guest's credit card at the end of the voyage. On the final morning of the cruise, a detailed statement will be delivered to the guest's cabin. The total amount will be charged to the credit card presented during registration. In addition, the Purser's Office can provide the guest with a balance update at any time throughout the cruise.
