settling onboard account with check

[lbrat4]

Hi,
I was looking through my travel documents, and it looks like I can settle my onboard account with a check, which is what I prefer. Now I'm just trying to figure out how much cash I need to take with me. The only thing I can think of that I need cash for is stamps on Castaway Cay, and any souveniers we want to get in Nassau. Is there anything else I may need cash for? Also, if I am settling my account by check, will they want any cash deposit up front, or do I just pay it all in the end?
Thanks for the help guys!! We leave for Port Canaveral tomorrow!!!

They do want some sort of deposit when you check in. You can put a credit card down at check in, then settle up at guest services with a check (in which case, they won't charge your credit card). Alternatively, you can write a check at the beginning and spend on that as you go.

You may also need some cash for tipping porters, excursion guides and room service when necessary.
