In 2021 when we over-nighted in Dubai, the casino did not open.

I read somewhere that, about MSC

 

- Dollar in cruises departing from Miami or New York (Canada and Western Caribe)

- Sterlling pound in cruise departing Southampton to north Spain and East France

- Euro in North Europe, Scandinavia, Eastern Caribe, anywhere in Mediterranean, Red Sea...

 

I do not know about Brazil, South Africa and Japan

We sailed out of Southampton this past December and prices were in EUR.

thanks. I didn't know.

 

May I find the document with MSC currencies I will post.

 

In addition.... Grand Voyages through America, in Dollars, through Europe, in Europe.

 

It would be interesting to know where they shift from one to the other currency on board. This is... a ship doing tours in the Mediterranean with all in Euros and (I bet after Barcelona), all in Dollars
