What the OP was suggesting was NOT charging it to your credit card but to your onboard card (RCCL calls it a SEAPASS card). Those onboard charges (spa, drinks, casino, excursions etc...) are then settled on your CC the final night of the cruise.

I know that RCCL now charges a fee for this, not sure about any others.
