DimSum Posted May 28, 2015 #1 Share Posted May 28, 2015 This is my 1st time going to Nassau. Can I use US currency there or will I need to exchange for Bahamian currency? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare CruisinCrow Posted May 28, 2015 #2 Share Posted May 28, 2015 US dollars are fine. Have a great cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aurelius180 Posted May 29, 2015 #5 Share Posted May 29, 2015 American dollars are accepted and the exchange rate to Bahamian dollars is set at 1:1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oilsand Posted May 30, 2015 #6 Share Posted May 30, 2015 US dollars are accepted anywhere but make sure you spend any Bahamian money you might get before you leave the islands. It cannot be exchanged outside the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beach Bum Posted September 13, 2016 #7 Share Posted September 13, 2016 :) Great information. it's been a while since I visited the Bahamas. One quick question bank issued visa/master cards are they accepted there? Will there be a currency exchange rate if the cards are accepted?

The Bahamian dollar and the US dollar are the same so there is no exchange rate, but some credit card companies charge a foreign transaction fee. Our bank charges 3% but it depends on the bank. It's best to check with your own bank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nina_930 Posted September 13, 2016 #9 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Check you change before you leave the check out register. If they give you Bahama money, you can ask them for US money instead. This way you aren't bringing back money you can't use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
