fun2travel Posted December 28, 2005 #1 Share Posted December 28, 2005 We are going on a cruise to Mexican Rivieria. Do ATM's in port give US$ or Pesos? Or is it best to use an ATM on ship. If I do use an ATM on ship, do they charge a high fee for the service? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbelian Posted December 28, 2005 #2 Share Posted December 28, 2005 If I do use an ATM on ship, do they charge a high fee for the service? Yes, they do, in comparison to the better option, which is: Go to the casino and get your cash (up to $2,000 per day is the max), which is then 'charged' to your ship board account. When it hits your credit card, it is like a purchase, rather than a cash advance. And if you have a 'rewards' type card, you will earn rewards on those dollars as well. There is no fee to withdraw cash from the casino. Put $5.00 down on a blackjack table, or in a slot just to make it 'look' legit :) .....(but you don't have to do this) HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fun2travel Posted December 28, 2005 Author #3 Share Posted December 28, 2005 I am not too knowledgeable about casinos. Can you tell me, is this a machine I use, or do I go to a teller. Thanks for your idea, its sounds great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highlander Posted December 28, 2005 #4 Share Posted December 28, 2005 I agree with tbelian, just go to the teller/cashier and get cash using your seapass. Cheers, George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nancyquilts Posted December 28, 2005 #5 Share Posted December 28, 2005 We have used money changers in Cabo and PV and an ATM in Mazatlan where you can get pesos. The only thing we use pesos for is the bus - for everything you buy they are happy to take dollars. We always ride the local bus downtown in PV, and sometimes take a bus to San Jose del Cabo.

Nancy I do not want to get pesos, will they give US$ or only pesos? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You go right to the teller at the casino. No machine. You will get US$. hth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nancyquilts Posted December 28, 2005 #8 Share Posted December 28, 2005 In Mexico, and off the ship, I believe you would get pesos. Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
