Has anyone ever used their Paypal debit for a Carnival sail and sign account? In my experience with using a "regular" debit card, they place a hold on the funds for each purchase which takes from the available balance in your checking account, then they do a final charge for all purchases on the last day so you are essentially being charged twice until the pre-authorizations fall off. I noticed that the preauthorizations for Paypal don't take from the available, they just kind of hang out until the final charge goes through so I was wondering if I puy, say, 1200 on my Paypal before I go, even though they will pre-authorize the charges as I make them the money won't be taken from my available balance until the final day when they push the final charges through. Am I thinking about this correctly?
