springdal Posted March 29, 2005 #1 Share Posted March 29, 2005 Is cash an absolute necessity here or can credit cards be used, or even travelers checks? I don't want to carry a lot of cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharleneinTexas Posted March 30, 2005 #2 Share Posted March 30, 2005 well, I'll attempt an answer for you...........from what I've read, the internet is still finding it's way to this port and not many are set up for credit cards right now........I could be wrong but it sounds as if this port would lean toward cash maybe someone who's been there recently could give info on the traveler checks.........

bruce-r Posted March 30, 2005 #3 Share Posted March 30, 2005 If you go into Mahahual, recommended BTW, take cash. The more expensive of the tourist trap stores at the cruiseline built port of Costa Maya probably will take plastic or travelers checks. The "native" craft stalls will much prefer cash.

serene56 Posted March 31, 2005 #4 Share Posted March 31, 2005 I know in Cozumel the stores that were gonna take my card was gonna charge me more then the price listed. Said it has something to do with being charged a US Surcharge plus tax to get the money. I would take cash--small bills for smaller items. Some little vendors may tell you they dont have change for the 20 you have. espeically in Majuahaul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Husky359 Posted April 8, 2005 #7 Share Posted April 8, 2005 To tell you the truth, I don't remember anymore, though I know my question was to Scott Yucatan before me. I thought someone said they went to a resort or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzercat Posted April 9, 2005 #8 Share Posted April 9, 2005 I was there last month (Mar. 2005) and would recommend cash. We used plastic at one of the stores at the pier and it caused a fraud alert on our credit card and they added a $6 surcharge. You can use a ship ATM or maybe leftover cash from your casino winnings.;) Galaxy, Panama Canal, 2005 Mercury, Alaska, 2003 Rhapsody of the Seas, Carribean, 2002 Costa Victoria, Mediterranean, 2001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a call from the fraud department of Discover just the other day, because I started using that card again for more than my usual Sam's Club purchases - including a ~$2400 charge to pay for a cruise! You DON'T want your cards frozen while you're on vacation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
