PAYMENT & DEPOSIT ON BOARD

As a result of this presentation, an average provisional charge of 300 euros will be deducted from each credit card. The reason for this is the expenses you will incur on board after checking into the ship. You will be able to make your expenses on board using magnetic cards issued to you by the ship reception. Except for the casino, no cash transactions take place anywhere on the ship. You can view all your expenses via the televisions in your cabins.
