Euros on a med cruise

[Branfsu]

Does royal transact in euros on a Med cruise? Can they be used in the casino, bar and retail? If not will royal convert them to dollars at guest services?

We have done two Med cruises with Royal Caribbean and all shipboard transactions were done in US dollars.

All transactions are done via your Seapass card - you could leave Euros as tips. GS can covert your Euros via a probably poor exchange rate.

the ship only deals in US dollars no matter where it is.

Take both, dollars to use in the casino or tip on the ship & euros for when ashore

Don’t use the ship to exchange, it’s always a very poor rate of exchange

All RCI ships are US$ 

Imagine the hassle of changing the tills, the bar menus, the casinos… etc.. to a different currency every time they cross the Atlantic!

Which they charge $6/€6 per transaction…! So avoid using them wherever possible!

The currency of the ship is US Dollars. Everything is charged to your sea pass card (retail, bar, service charges) and charged to you in US dollars.

 

Euros can not be used in the casino.

 

Do not exchange Euros for dollars on the ship, the exchange rate sucks.

 

You can use the ship's ATMs to get US dollars (as limited by your bank and with a $7 service charge from the ship). You can cash advance against your room account for a 5% service charge.
