bronzebeauty Posted January 9, 2014 #1 Share Posted January 9, 2014 My husband and I will be cruising to key west, grand cayman, and cozumel. I have read that we can use u.s. currency in both grand cayman and cozumel. Does anyone know if this is true? Or will we have to exchange our money? I would greatly appreciate any info, tips, or advice. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fam2cruise Posted January 9, 2014 #2 Share Posted January 9, 2014 You will use USD in these ports. No need to exchange currency . Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookbabe Posted January 9, 2014 #3 Share Posted January 9, 2014 You may want to have some smaller bills, however, since at many locations your change will be in CI$, not US$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsfuzzmo Posted January 9, 2014 #4 Share Posted January 9, 2014 You can absolutely use USD at all the ports. Definitely get some smaller bills for food and souvenir purchases, taxis etc especially in Cozumel, as you will receive any change in Pesos...usually. Cayman you can use USD but the prices will most likely be listed in CI$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt_BJ Posted January 9, 2014 #5 Share Posted January 9, 2014 US is accepted everywhere in Cayman but remember there is a conversion . . . your $1 US is 80 cents CI your $10 US is $8 CI most menu prices will be in CI and many places will also add tip automatically. seat of the pants conversion is to figure it like an automatic 20% tip just for conversion .. and another 20% for tip. So a $10 CI hamburger is gonna cost you $14 US . . . here's a typical bar menu, with prices http://sunsethouse.com/images/Menus/Restaurant%20Snack%20Menu%20Nov%20%2010%208_5X11%202011.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
