Review summary

For the cruise itself, I was very pleased with the experience. There were lots of activities, the food was great, and the ports we visited were amazing. I felt feeling great. The next day, however, I noticed a charge on my credit card. I had settled my balance with cash, so I immediately called RC to find out what was going on. The customer service rep. assured me it was simply a hold on my account because that had been the credit card on file. He told me to wait a few days and the hold would drop. I waited a week and still saw the charge. I called my bank and they confirmed it was a sales transaction, not a hold. Now I have had to file a dispute over the charge. Such an unfortunate ending to an otherwise great experience.

If you put a credit card on file, but then decide to settle your account with case, make sure they don't try to still charge your credit card.

Too late now but for the future, it is wise to request a printout of your shipboard account the day before your cruise ends rather than wait for the one delivered to your cabin on the morning of disembarkation. Doing so provides the time to peruse the items and compare it with the final accounting. That way the only outstanding charge would have to have taken place after your cash payment.
