Guernsey notes can be exchanged 1 for 1 at the Bureau Exchange in the Dover port. I just did this on Saturday May 29. Another alternative is using the Guernsey pounds at the CAFFE NERO a Heathrow - they accept all major currencies for purchases.

I just found this thread and am so happy it's still active! We are avid do it yourselfers!!! Sure there have been a few mishaps but they make the best stories later on...

Just booked a 10 day European Wonder cruise on HAL and am looking forward to seeing what this thread has regarding our ports of call!!

We are flying into Venice pre cruise then driving to Civitavecchia. Ports are Portofino, Marseilles, Barcelona, Cadiz, Lisbon, La Havre, a UK island and then Dover.

Just back from Dubrovnik - we were able to pay for the wall walk with Euros. The cafes took Euros and/or Kuna. There is an ATM right outside the port entrance. There is also a currency exchange right there as well. The Rector's Palace was the only place we encountered where only Kuna was accepted. If you do have leftover Kuna there is a Konsum grocery store near the port - we bought a couple bottles of pop with our excess currency.
