rdemn Posted May 20, 2017 #1 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Can I get $100.00 bills changed into $20.00 bills on board for shore excursions? Or should I do it before I get on board. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogbert's mom Posted May 20, 2017 #2 Share Posted May 20, 2017 I always bring hundred dollar bills and never have a problem breaking them at guest services. Just make sure you plan ahead because there can be a long line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sparks1093 Posted May 20, 2017 #3 Share Posted May 20, 2017 It's my understanding that the kiosks can provide change for larger bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucy Jane Posted May 20, 2017 #4 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Just to be on safe side, I'd do it before, never had that problem on ship before but on land smaller newer bills. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daisys dad Posted May 20, 2017 #5 Share Posted May 20, 2017 I usually go to the bank and get $100 in ones and fives to use for tips and to have small bills to buy at the local markets sometimes they say they don't have change so you will buy more if you only have 20s Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
springs741 Posted May 20, 2017 #6 Share Posted May 20, 2017 As mentioned, Guest Services and Kiosk I always get bills broke (or donate) in the Casino. I also agree you want to take small bills for purchases on land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doggielover68 Posted May 21, 2017 #7 Share Posted May 21, 2017 I do it before we board. I don't want to waste my vacation time standing in line at guest services. The kiosk is okay but it can still be a little slow...and you can't get singles from the kiosk. Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Forums Yes, you can. I do it beforehand only because I find it more convenient. I hope you enjoy your cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badfinger Posted May 21, 2017 #9 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Can I get $100.00 bills changed into $20.00 bills on board for shore excursions? Or should I do it before I get on board. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Do it at the Kiosk. I have done it with with $50's but not sure how it works with $100's IIRC, and if I am not I am confident some will gladly correct me, it automatically breaks your bill down to the next highest bill(s). For example, if you put in $100, it will give you two $50's. Put in a $50, two 20's an a $10. I think you continue with this pattern until you put in a $5 to get five $1. But don't be concerned, breaking the $100 down into small bills would take less than 3 minutes...or about 1/10 the time you would be waiting in line at GS.

Rare shof515 Posted May 21, 2017 #10 Share Posted May 21, 2017 for those wondering about the long line at GS, GS is open 24/7 times. I found the best times to go is around midnight or early in the morning. No one is there, no line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare IntrepidFromDC Posted May 21, 2017 #12 Share Posted May 21, 2017 I've always planned in such a way I don't need Guest Services but have been affected by those times when trying to get off the glass elevators near them is problematic. General rule based on my observation is plan ahead, don't use guest services if you can avoid it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted May 21, 2017 #13 Share Posted May 21, 2017 I always enjoy going to guest services to do this - because they are always happy to get a request that is so easy to fulfill. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easyboy Posted May 21, 2017 #14 Share Posted May 21, 2017 We do the exchange for smaller bills onboard. Not a problem. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailor05 Posted May 21, 2017 #15 Share Posted May 21, 2017 The casino is a great place to do this as there is usually not a long line and what there is moves quickly. I have had 1 person in the past who said they don't break large bills so I went straight to a slot machine, put the $100 bill in it, pushed cash out and went right back and cashed in the ticket for $10's and $20's. Problem solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Forums Walk right up to the casino cage and they'll give you whatever you want and usually not many winners cashing out so lines are short if any :) Sent from my ZTE A2017U using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Honolulu Blue Posted May 22, 2017 #17 Share Posted May 22, 2017 The one problem with exchanging big bills in the casino is that it's not open 24/7. Close, but not quite. Also, as mentioned above, the kiosks won't break $5 bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
