Carnival Players Club

I am going on Glory on Sept 4th.... I do like to gamble. So I was hoping to join their players club.

Also I am interested in opening a credit account for it if possible.

Does anyone know how to go about this prior to cruising?

Reason I ask is that I have budgeting about $2000 for gambling, but would rather not take that much in cash.. When I add in about $500 for other incedentials.. that is lot of cash to carry.

My mom was in the CPC. You can use you Sign and Sail card in the Casino. It adds up points and by the end of your cruise you get free stuff..

when you use your s&s card in the casino or in the slot machines, is there anything that helps you keep track of your spending? i would like to play slots, but the thought of having to count my "pulls" to keep track of spending kind of scares me. also, are wins in cash, or just credits to your card?

I believe there is a 3 % charge when you use your sail & sign card which would add up quickly. I would suggest travelers checks instead of carrying cash! that way you would have some kind of security. The casino will cash them with no extra charge.
Just a thought.

Int he past when I have won, they have paid me with cash and not credits.

hope that helped.
