*With the addition of the Arcade on board Ventura, this falls under the jurisdiction of the casino - therefore the use on on board credit is not permitted. 

Please note on-board spending money is non-refundable and no cash alternative available. It may not be spent prior to embarkation.

Gift credit is deducted from on-board account totals, prior to any applicable Peninsular Club discount.

For example, if you on-board account total is £150 and you have £50 gift credit available, the Peninsular Club discount will be deducted from the remaining £100.
