It was made VERY clear that they do not charge a fee for pulling $$ from your Sail&Sign. However, if you go to the cashier and simply gave them a credit card to take out cash, they charge a 3% fee. Nonetheless, I will let you know as soon as it posts to my AMEX if there was a hidden charge.

Update: Just posted to my Amex with no hidden charges whatsoever. Charged as CARNIVAL PARADISE SAMIAMI. Also, as Carnival is based out of Miami, there was no foreign transaction fee from AMEX either.
