**Can You Go Cashless on a Cruise?** Yes, it's possible to enjoy a cruise without any cash. However, there are a few reasons why you might regret not having some cash on hand: * **Onboard purchases:** While most items and services can be charged to your onboard account, there may be some small vendors or services that only accept cash. * **Gratuities:** While it's customary to leave gratuities for service staff and others onboard, it can be inconvenient to wait until the end of the cruise to do so. * **Excursions:** If you plan to book excursions off the ship, you may need cash to pay for transportation, souvenirs, or other expenses. **Getting Cash on a Cruise Ship** If you forgot to bring cash, you can get it onboard in several ways: * **ATMs:** Most cruise ships have ATMs where you can withdraw cash using your debit or credit card. However, there may be transaction fees associated with withdrawals. * **Guest services:** Some cruise lines offer limited amounts of cash advances through their guest services department. This may require a credit card hold or an administrative fee. * **Excursions:** If you're going on an excursion that requires cash, the cruise line may offer to exchange currency for you as part of the booking process. **Additional Notes:** * You cannot use your onboard spending money before you sail. * Passengers under the age of 17 must be accompanied by an adult on all cruises.
