Euros in the casino?

[weacat]

Question about using Euros in the casino?  Can you use Euros to buy chips for the card games in the casino when leaving out of Europe?  We’ve only taken cruises departing the USA and have bought chips with USD. 
 

and as a follow up question. If you can use Euros, do you get the correct exchange for it?

No you can’t use Euros in the casino.  The ship’s currency is US Dollars.

 

you can exchange currency at Guest Relations but the rate is terrible.

That is very helpful information.

Thanks

Saw Euros accepted at the tables this past May on the Beyond.  No idea if their exchange rates were favorable or if there's any way (cashier creates a voucher?) to use Euros on the slots

Right now they’re worth about $1.10.  I wouldn’t be surprised if they were accepted at par.

If you don't have BCC status, they'll charge you a 3% convenience fee at the tables.  Some may confuse that fee as part of the exchange rate

What is BCC status?

BCC stands for Blue Chip Club which is the status the Casino gives it gamblers.  Generally, you must requalify year after year to maintain status like most other travel loyalty programs.  This is different than Celebrity's loyalty program called the "Captains Club" which is (currently) lifetime status

Thank you!
