Unfortunately this practice ended as of April, 2008.I was on a sailing in mid-April and attempted to do just this (drawing from a credit onboard balance resulting from shareholder credit and Worldpoints OBC). They refused to allow a cash advance without imposing a 3% service fee. There was absolutely no way around it. The casino manager explained that the 3% charge had been implemented as a result of cruisers who were abusing the perk of obtaining cash in this fashion ... just another example of what happens when people try to take advantage of a good thing.
