currency exchange

We are on Princess Transatlantic. We have purchased American Travelers cheques. Have recently found they are difficult to cash. So we are looking at a US credit card.

Others who have travelled this route, pls can we have your input?

Have you considered a currency card. We use travelex. Load the card from our bank account to Dollars on the card. Accepted everywhere and treated like a credit card. We load £300 at a time and you also receive a spare card if you loose the first one. Easy to cancel if lost. Means I can leave my credit cards at home and do not carry a lot of cash.

Used it extensively on our recent trip to Hawaii and found it to be a better way than travellor cheques.

We have travelled extensively in the US and never had any problems with $ travellers cheques. We use them like cash in shops, restaurants and hotels and get change in $.

Thanks for the replies. We are from Canada coming to Britian then travelling west. We understand using American Travellers cheques in the Us and Carribean, never a problem. So very surprised that European counties are hesitant.
