I know Carnival and NCL have kiosks where you can break bills. I don't remember any on Princess that perform this function. Do they have them? I didn't spend much time in the casinos on any Princess ship I've been on, so I certainly could have missed them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cr8tiv1 Posted May 11 #8 Share Posted May 11 Side question (if you don't mind). I've heard mixed answers regarding tipping crew with US dollars while cruising in foreign waters. One YouTuber says that many of the crew come from countries that appreciate the US dollar. Is that permissible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USD might be easier for them rather than some other currency but they gladly accept any and all monetary gifts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course that was years ago. The Ruble was worthless. In New Zealand last year we could not get change for the US dollar on board. I think it depends on where the cruise might start from.

No kiosks. Just visit guest services. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
