Euros...credit cards

[Ohserendipity]

Kinda new to this... if I use a credit card it gets charged in euros right and then should be converted at going rate by credit card company right? I know my card has no foreign transaction fee.

That is how our cards have worked in the past..

 

We are however bringing down some small denomination Euros for smaller purchases in place they MAY not accept U.S. currency, as recommended for Martinique on the NCL website.

I just booked an excursion in Martinique online where it shows Euros.

 

It was billed immediately on my credit card in USD. I checked and the conversion was exact. No other fees.

Best way to buy stuff - you get the best rate of exchange and it is specific to the date of purchase.

I know some don't even gets off the ship because of this.

 

Just withdraw cash at the nearest ATM. What's the small fee compare to the convenience.

I just bought 100.00 dollars of euro's today at the AAA store. You don't have to be a member either.

My experience is it is the conversion rate for the day it actually posts - in Europe that can take up to 5 business days after the actual transaction. Still it is the best rate of exchange.
