Jen1000 Posted September 28, 2019 #1 Share Posted September 28, 2019 We will be on a Legend Med cruise in 2020. Is the on board currency in USD? Will there be the tipping added to the account in USD? Thanks, Jen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coevan Posted September 28, 2019 #4 Share Posted September 28, 2019 no S&S card for on board spending? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen1000 Posted September 28, 2019 Author #5 Share Posted September 28, 2019 I assume S and S for on board spending but I wondered if it was in USD or Euros. I have a Carnival gift card and the find print says something like ship board account and shops need to be in USD. Jen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coevan Posted September 28, 2019 #9 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Jimbo, the OP post is misleading, asking about on board currency, because they don't accept any currency. when we were in Europe, land based, it didn't matter if we charged in Euros or dollars. Capital One converted everything to dollars automatically Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capital One converted everything to dollars automatically If being billed in a foreign currency, you'll always get a better exchange by having the bank convert it versus letting the cruise line or hotel convert. Plus, most credit cards that people carry waive foreign transaction fees nowadays. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rufflesmom Posted September 29, 2019 #13 Share Posted September 29, 2019 We did a Mediterranean cruise last summer. You use the onboard account for purchases on the ship, just like in the Caribbean. Gratuities were charged in US dollars to our account and our CC was billed in US dollars. If you have a Carnival gift card you will use it just like you would for a Caribbean cruise. The only money difference was on shore where we used euros. We got them at an ATM at the Barcelona airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
