Ship board card use in the casino

This is our first time with Princess. What is their policy of using your ship board card in the casino. Greg

Hi Greg,
Nope, you will need cash for the casino, tips and anything you buy on shore, otherwise all the ship purchases such as drinks, excersions, etc. will go on the sign and sail card.

Hi Greg,
Most of the cruise lines allow this.. give u chips on your card, and it's even treated as a sale rather than a cash advance. Princess is the exception. They charge a 3% service fee. Here's a link to an article I wrote for CruiseMates that relates to all this.<http://www.cruisemates.com/articles/cruiseguide/onboard/casino.cfm>
