helen haywood Posted August 20, 2016 #1 Share Posted August 20, 2016 For a cruise on Divina out of Miami, could I use euros to give some tips? I'm talking about above the DSC. I have some left over and would like to use them but not if it will inconvenience the staff. Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted August 21, 2016 #2 Share Posted August 21, 2016 I would not tip euros unless in Europe. Staff will lose in exchange. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helen haywood Posted August 21, 2016 Author #3 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Well,I don't want that. That does make me wonder...what do they do with their cash tips? Does the cruise line have a "bank?" Do they have access to a secure locker or something to store the money? Do they take the currency and wire it home at various ports?

tomvet Posted August 21, 2016 #4 Share Posted August 21, 2016 I would tip them with your euros if it is convenient for you to do so: (1) you are tipping over and above the DSC so anything even if it is minus bank charges is a bonus; (2) staff are not from USD or EUR countries e.g. Philippines; Indonesia so any money wired home will need a currency exchange fee somewhere in the transactions; (3) If sailing in the Carribean, there may be an opportunity to use them in the EUR using countries there e.g. Dutch Antilles and (4) staff move from ship to ship so I am sure before long, they will be sailing in euroland before long.
