Onboard Expense Account

Why is onboard expense account information necessary?
Carnival operates on a cashless credit program on board which allows you to charge all your services, gratuities and purchases during your cruise to your stateroom. All locations on board will accept your Sail & Sign card (onboard expense account) for payment; the casino will also accept cash. A credit card or cash deposit is needed to establish your personal onboard account. Carnival requires that each guest is linked to an onboard expense account. Individual guests can have their charging privileges enabled or disabled at any time by the primary account holder.

How do I set-up a minor's onboard expense account?
Adults are the only ones that can set-up an account for minors. To do so, please follow the steps below:

• Add or access your adult booking via 'Manage My Booking' at https://www.carnival.com/BookedGuest/
• From the 'To Do list', click on Online Check-in
• Select 'Onboard Expense Account' 
• Select form of payment (credit or cash) and complete account set-up
• When setting up charging privileges, select 'include guest from another booking/stateroom' link to add the minors

How do I set up onboard expense account for family members in another booking/stateroom?
Within Online Check-in, step 4 of the onboard expense process, 'Charging Privileges', you will be given the option to 'include guests from another booking'. You will need to know their booking number and last name.

Why does Carnival place holds on credit cards used during the sailing?
For your convenience, Carnival validates the credit/debit card to ensure there is funding. This prevents any onboard expense account concerns while on your cruise vacation.

Please note, if any payment is given to replace credit/debit card previously used, the hold will remain on your account. This will reduce the amount of funds available on your credit/debit card account. The release of this hold is entirely up to the issuing bank. It can take up to 3 to7 business days after your cruise return.

How do I change my payment options once I have completed Online Check-in?
If you need to change your initial payment option, go to Carnival.com and click on 'Manage My Booking'. Log in and select 'Online Check in', 'Onboard Expenses': 

• If changing credit card number or debit card number, use DELETE feature and add new credit card or debit card information.
