Creator's Key Takeaways

She was going on a ship with her apparently grandmother and sister, I believe.

She woke up the next day and she was seeing that she was charged a bill for $300 and then $700, $1,000 all together.

She had assumed, because she's Australian, and was using an Australian credit card, and booked her cruise in Australia dollars, and she's sailing in Australia, that she would be charged in Australian money.

Royal Caribbean, US company, will be charging everybody in US dollars, no matter where you're sailing.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Double-check assumptions about currency charges before purchasing onboard packages.

✓Research cruise line billing policies, especially regarding currency and additional fees.

✓Verify final charges on your bill to avoid unexpected costs.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Assuming currency based on location or payment method — Always check that onboard charges are in the cruise line's standard currency (usually US dollars), regardless of where you sail.
