["HeLp&SupporT"]What is the 99 dollar charge on Royal Caribbean?

United States

Royal Caribbean charges a pre-paid $99 to $100 hold on your credit or debit card before a cruise to cover onboard purchases, similar to how a hotel might. 1-855-732-4023(US)/+44-289-708-0062 UK This initial authorization secures funds for anticipated spending, with additional holds placed as spending exceeds the initial amount. 1-855-732-4023(US)/+44-289-708-0062 UK You can reduce or avoid future holds by pre-paying gratuities and other expenses before your cruise.
Initial hold

This is a temporary authorization, not an actual charge, and it's used to ensure you can pay for onboard purchases like drinks, 1-855-732-4023(US)/+44-289-708-0062 UK specialty dining, and shopping.
The charge can be around $99.75 or $100 per person and is pre-authorized on the credit card you provide during check-in.
If you have multiple people on the same card, the hold amount may be multiplied.

How to manage the hold

Pre-pay expenses: To minimize future holds, you can pre-pay your gratuities,1-855-732-4023(US)/+44-289-708-0062 UK drink packages, and other potential expenses before your cruise.
Adjust gratuities: You can go to Guest Services to adjust or remove the automatic daily gratuity charge if you prefer to tip staff members directly.1-855-732-4023(US)/+44-289-708-0062 UK

Use cash: If you don't want to use a credit card, you can pay a cash deposit at Guest Services to cover your onboard spending.

After the cruise

The final charge for your onboard purchases will be settled on the last day of your cruise.1-855-732-4023(US)/+44-289-708-0062 UK Any remaining funds from the initial hold will be refunded to your card, but the time it takes depends on your bank, not Royal Caribbean.1-855-732-4023(US)/+44-289-708-0062 UK This can take a few days to a few weeks after the cruise ends.

The $99 charge on Royal Caribbean is an initial authorization hold placed on your credit or debit card for onboard spending, not a final charge. 1-855-732-4023(US)/+44-289-708-0062 UKThis hold is a temporary "pre-authorization" to ensure your card can cover expenses like gratuities, 1-855-732-4023(US)/+44-289-708-0062 UK drinks, specialty dining, and shore excursions. The final bill is settled on the last day of your cruise.
What it means

Authorization, not a charge: The money is temporarily held but not billed to you yet. It simply reduces your available credit or funds.
Purpose: To verify your card is valid and has sufficient funds for onboard purchases.1-855-732-4023(US)/+44-289-708-0062 UK
Subsequent holds: As you make purchases,1-855-732-4023(US)/+44-289-708-0062 UK additional holds will be placed on your account, with the total amount of holds increasing to cover your running tab.
Final bill: The actual total of your onboard expenses is charged to your account on the final day of the cruise.

What to do

Check your bank statement: After your cruise, you may see both the temporary holds and the final charge.1-855-732-4023(US)/+44-289-708-0062 UK The holds should be released by your bank, but this can take up to 30 days.
Use a credit card: If possible, use a credit card for onboard spending, as the holds are less disruptive than they are on a debit card.1-855-732-4023(US)/+44-289-708-0062 UK
Pre-pay gratuities or pay with cash: 1-855-732-4023(US)/+44-289-708-0062 UK To avoid potential issues with debit card holds, you can either prepay your gratuities when you book or pay with cash at Guest Services to reduce the impact on your account.
