Is currency exchange available on the ship?

We are planning a cruise for March, Ports of Call are Grand Caymen and Cozumel. I was reading on RCLs sight that the items in Cozumel are marked as $s put it is really pesos.

My wife is very frugal and will not comprehend the exchange rate. In Cozumel I plan to do some fishing leaving her and her sister to do shopping. If I could give her a wad of US$ to exchange it maybe helpful to her when she sees a high $ tag on an item. Of course I will have to explain to her that the $ price is really pesos. When she exchangers the $s and gets alot of pesos she may understand.

Besides, I would like to bring back a few Caymen $s and pesos as a souvenir.

I have always used credit cards and US Dollars in both of these ports and have never had a problem. I never had the need to exchange currency.

Us too! If you want some local currency as a souvenir, you can ask for it as change when making a purchase.
