I spent close to $9000 on a One World RTW in J a few years ago.
It was interesting in that it was over the max limit on both my credit cards, so I had to get the money out of the bank in cash and walk it to the desk. It was quite a production retrieving so much of my own money in cash...

You sure they didn't just reject the charge as suspicious? If you've got that much cash on hand... [fill in the blanks about credit limits]

Something doesn't add up here. My first card, when I was in high school/freshman in college (don't recall), had a limit of about that much. The thing is I was not making any $$ (maybe a few $k over the summer, but that's it) and had no real credit history to speak of. Maybe the bank messed up the location of the decimal point in my favor.

Think about it - a college kid with no steady job is a huge unknown. They want to suck you in to their high fees but not with too much risk. No way you got $9k out of the blue, unless it was a major mistake on their part.
