gkamer Posted January 27, 2019 #1 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Taking the 7 day Caribbean cruise and I was wondering what form of currency is accepted? Do they take US dollars? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beshears Posted January 27, 2019 #2 Share Posted January 27, 2019 You didn't mention "which" port, but normally they do. For myself, I generally take CASH, and don't have a problem. it is much easier to use when purchasing items from vendors, etc. If you don't have cash, you can go to the Purser's Desk, and they will give it to you off of your credit card. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillyFan33579 Posted January 27, 2019 #3 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Every port I have visited in the Carribean has accepted US currency, although I have not been to every port. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoDidly Posted January 27, 2019 #4 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Reading here tells me that people are exchanging US to Cuban . What are your ports of call ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aplmac Posted January 27, 2019 #5 Share Posted January 27, 2019 The U.S.Dollar is King on this Western side of the Atlantic! Everyone I know on these Carib. islands has a small stash at home! It's that desirable: we don't turn it in to the Banks.... Anyone refusing to accept it should be viewed with a bit of suspicion and not worth conducting business with?

That's true. They will not take US currency and you can't use credit cards in Cuba. There is a bank right after customs that you exchange your US dollars to CUCs. That's the only port out of the twelve cruises we've taken where they didn't accept US currency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
