lineman Posted April 3, 2019 #1 Share Posted April 3, 2019 can Canadian money be exchanged for US currency while on the ship and is there a charge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guindalf Posted April 3, 2019 #2 Share Posted April 3, 2019 I’m sure you can exchange CAD for USD at the Guest Services desk on board, but I wouldn’t recommend it. I’m sure the rate and fees would not be very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFCAcruiser Posted April 3, 2019 #3 Share Posted April 3, 2019 OP - if you tell us more information about your desire to exchange money, we might be able to provide some creative ways for you to accomplish that task, or otherwise "use up" your CDN$ prior to boarding a cruise in Canada. Are you staying in a hotel in Canada prior to the cruise? Do you plan to return to Canada in the foreseeable future? Have you explored currency exchange options in Ohio after your return home? How much CDN$ do you anticipate having to exchange? And a strange question, do you happen to have a Starbucks card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted April 3, 2019 #4 Share Posted April 3, 2019 I've found that I get best exchange rates by withdrawal from ATM's using a credit card that rebates ATM fees and don't charge a foreign transaction free. In reality about 90+% of purchases are made using credit cards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sardam Posted April 5, 2019 #5 Share Posted April 5, 2019 I've exchanged money on Norwegian and Royal and have gotten better rates than at home with my bank. First time on Celebrity next month so I don't know how they do it but I've been pleasantly surprised on other lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Covepointcruiser Posted April 5, 2019 #6 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Credit cards work fine for most ports. In Cuba (Celebrity doesn’t go there), you need cash if you are from the U.S. If you exchange U.S. currency you are charged an extra fee. It is best to use your Euros, Canadian Dollars or pounds to get the best exchange rate. Azamara and RCL do go to Cuba, maybe Celebrity will go in the future.
