Euros at the Casino

[lancet]

I am spending 4 days in Rome prior to the cruise. I am taking some euros to cover what I estimate, plus some. If I don't spend them in Rome or shore excursions, does anyone know if you can use euros on the ship's casino? Or do I have to take another hit on exchange, either on shore or at the pursers desk? I have never seen euros at the tables, but the cruise is in Europe this time (actually a TA).

 

Thanks for the info from those who have done this.

I think they only take dollars, but you can exchange them at the Desk.

The on board exchange rates are usurious, worse than airports.:eek:

Best to exchange at your bank when you get home.

Casino on board use only American money. We spent 2 weeks in Italy and never once used a Euro.
