dsstasz Posted March 11, 2008 #1 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Wondering if credit cards are accepted in Freeport/Nassau in the shops, restraunts, eateries? Trying to figure out how much cash to bring on cruise. Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suezyq50 Posted March 12, 2008 #2 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Most take credit cards. Straw Market is cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navybaby1113 Posted March 12, 2008 #3 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Make sure to call your credit card companies if you plan on using them overseas. Also, ask them if they have an international service charge. Both of mine do. It's 3% of what you charged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiveCruiser Posted March 23, 2008 #4 Share Posted March 23, 2008 We have found you get a better exchange rate with the Card. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umpalumpa14588 Posted March 23, 2008 #5 Share Posted March 23, 2008 There really isn't an exchange rate. It is $1 for $1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug&Suzy-Q Posted March 23, 2008 #6 Share Posted March 23, 2008 We learned our lesson the hard way............We tried renting a car with Discover.........they do not take Discover... We charge everything.......however not everyone takes Discover..........I carry my Discover card always.....after we learned the hard way one of us carried an alternative card. DH takes his VISA, I have Discover. A precaution....if something happens to one card, we have an alternative..........or at least some cash....just in caes:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excitedcruzr Posted April 8, 2008 #7 Share Posted April 8, 2008 I charged some items from two different stores and Nassau and was worried about any charges my home bank would add on. (I didn't have enough cash, and needed gifts!) Both charges went through with no additional charges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
