Margate Cruiser Posted October 21, 2011 #3 Share Posted October 21, 2011 The ship will bring on board am bank that will do exchanges of the country you are visiting. e Did this in South America a few times. You can always go to a mac machine there cost is very high. f Seabourn does the exchange there cost are even higher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaneBP Posted October 21, 2011 #4 Share Posted October 21, 2011 I find the onboard currency exchange has more convenience for me than bothering to have to find a cash point. Then I am set to go if I need a cab or some post cards. Not like I exchange a large amount of money. Later on, if i need more, I can use my credit card or find a cash point. My Capital One bank card doesn't charge a fee for foreign currency conversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smilin jack Posted October 21, 2011 #5 Share Posted October 21, 2011 My Capital One bank card doesn't charge a fee for foreign currency conversion. Excellent point about Capital One CC, AE and all the other cards charge a fee, even my bank ATM charges a foreign currency fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEOPHYTUS Posted October 21, 2011 #6 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Two separate and distinct bank charges : Foreign Transaction Fee and ATM Use Fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smilin jack Posted October 21, 2011 #7 Share Posted October 21, 2011 I should have said, my Bank ATM charges a Foreign Transaction Fee plus the local (foreign) ATM fee. Not forgiven by private banking...Capital One is the only one without a fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
