Barwick Cruiser Posted February 10, 2014 #1 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I know that both US $ and the Guilder are accepted on the island, but if you pay in US$ do you get change in US$ ? Thanks Isa! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curacaoqueen Posted February 11, 2014 #2 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I can try and answer your question, we have been many times and stay for a week, at the grocery stores we pay in US and the change is guilders. By the waterfront there are vendors selling many things, they gave change back in US. A lot of restaurants will give back guilders also. I guess you could ask for change back in US.

Barwick Cruiser Posted February 11, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Thanks, curacaoqueen, just the info I was looking for. We're arriving on the island on Friday for a one week stay at the Sunscape and weren't sure which currency to use, can't use the guilders anywhere else but can make use of US$ on our upcoming Med cruise.

Isa65 Posted February 11, 2014 #4 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Also, when paying in supermarkets, restaurants, etc - it's perfectly safe to use your debit cards so you don't have to carry lots of cash with you. As long as it has the Maestro/Cirrus logo on the card, you're good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadtraveller Posted February 13, 2014 #5 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Thanks Isa65. If I am Canadian would those debit cards be accepted. All it has is the Visa, Interac logo. If not then what do I do with the guilders change? Can I exchange before I go on the ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise bring small bills ($1, $5 and $10) so you won't receive much back in guilders. You can try to get dollars for your guilders at Guest Services on board. Some cruiseline do this.
