Currency for Europe Med Cruises

[Parramatta]

Hi All

 

Sailing Allure Europe 2015 - Western Mediterranean:D:D. We will be leaving our tipping on but in addition we like to tip the cabin steward and the drink waiters in the concierge lounge - what sort of cash would we need? Is it euros or another currency please?

 

Many thanks in Advance

They will be using euros ashore but dollars in their onboard shop so the choice is yours :)

Thank you for your fast reply, I mentioned to my DH that I thought that may be the case (with the dollars) as Allure is American as you would know (I'm from Australia) and I presumed most of the same staff would be on the Europe Cruise and be happy to take home US Dollars.

The staff will be multi-national so the US $ may not be their home currency. I do know that their own purchases behind the scenes on board are in $

Hi,

Depending when you are sailing (e.g. not the last Europe sailing before a transatlantic back to America!), the staff may prefer to receive Euros so they can spend them in the ports in Europe.

Thanks again, I had not thought of that. Thank you for both of your replies.
