Creator's Key Takeaways

we authorized our credit card for 400 but we went over that because they added the gratuities on which we miscalculated and because of that the weirdest thing cut off on our drink pack

so unfortunately so there are two ways to do it on this just be aware of that that's all there's nothing wrong with it it's Embassy does do things a little bit weird

so what's even weirder is that if you authorize your credit card for more than the amount that you actually spend on the very last night of the cruise you either have to come to one of these fancy machines

they gave us the warning that we couldn't get any more so we're about to do the ship tour yeah and Laura needs her a glass of wine

Creator's Tips & Advice

Activate your cruise card at the payment machine to link your credit card or add cash.
Authorize enough credit for your drink package and daily gratuities to avoid cutoff.
Use the cash payment option if you prefer to pay your bill with physical money.
