packard89 Posted February 23, 2015 #1 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I was just in Roatan last Thursday, I had several $20's and $10's that were slightly damaged, (the corner was torn off, or maybe a slight tear anywhere on the bill) and they wouldn't take them. Thank goodness I brought a lot of extra cash or I would have been screwed, we were on a tour to go zip lining. So inspect your money before going there. Other than that, we loved Roatan!! I've heard that people don't care for the area....I'd go again in a heartbeat I hope this info helps somebody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRover96 Posted February 23, 2015 #2 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Same thing holds true in Belize, go to the bank before you cruise and get "fresh" dollars, smaller the denomination the better, $1, $5 & $10 unless you plan on paying cash for a tour.

Rare mitsugirly Posted March 7, 2015 #11 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I think is the norm for most of the ports these days. There have been several reports on it. However, I do know they don't mind wet money. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRover96 Before heading to shore, stop by the guest services desk on your ship and get smaller fresh bills. Saves having to hunt down a bank and paying an exhange rate or fee.
