We are also on this itinerary, sailing 04-02-13. We are taking euro for the Canaries and Cape Verde and Sterling for Africa. We have found that most countries in and around Europe will take euro. The ship will usually change currency for you, at a price if you do need local currency, or you can change at a local bank. If you are on a tour you should not need much money, just enough for drinks, snack, souvenirs and tips.
