Cash Money & Beachtowels

Hello,

we are on Eurodam 11/30 to 12/14 in the Caribbean.

Can we get cash money (US$) on the Islands at ATM`s (Cayman, St. Thomas, Jamaica, San Juan)?

Yes at St Thomas and San Juan, as they are U.S. territory. Probably no at the others. Once at an ATM in Nassau Bahamas the machine said I could get $US, but when I tried it gave me Bahamian.

 

Also, you can get a $US cash advance on your shipboard account at the Front Desk for a 3% fee.

And have we Beachtowels in the Cabin?

Thanks.

We didn't notice any in our cabin on the Eurodam on a Sept North Atlantic T-A , but they might be there in the Caribbean. IIRC some ships have large blue-striped ones to distinguish them from the others. If not you can pick them up at the gangway when going ashore. Edited by jtl513

As others have said, San Juan and St Thomas use US dollars. Not sure about Cayman and Jamaica.

 

Our stateroom attendant left beach towels in our cabin on our cruise last week.

We had beach towels in our cabin with a nice little wrapper letting us know that they would cost something like $26.50 if they went missing.

 

The nice thing about the wrapper is it keeps them tightly bundled until you get to the beach and need them.

You likely will not get US $ from ATM's in Caymans or Jamaica but you can use US $ there. Everyone of the islands you list will accept dollars.

Why not just take the cash you need and put it in your safe? All of the places you are going take US dollars. Otherwise you'll need to use an ATM in either San Juan or St. Thomas as others have said. Our bank charges 3% conversion fee on international useage for our debit card so we take extra cash and lock it up.
