Thebosn1 Posted May 4, 2017 #1 Share Posted May 4, 2017 I am returning to French Polynesia this fall on a cruise and we will be in the same three ports as several years ago when we visited. Last time, I did not bother to exchange any money for CFP before the trip, because it was a giant hassle. When we were in Tahiti, Bora Bora and Moorea back in 2014, I just got cash from the ATMs. I can't remember if I got killed on exchange rates or anything. Does anyone have any advice on whether its actually worth the hassle of trying to get cash before I go? The plan right now is to just hit the ATM again, but if anyone has more insight into this, I would welcome the advice. Thanks Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
