Exchanging Money

Can you exchange U.S. dollars for local currency on the ship? My DNephew collects foreign coins and I would like to bring some back for him. TIA

Let me give some more info, hopefully it will be helpful. We will be on the Inspiration from Tampa in Dec. We don't do alot of shopping in port, so we would like to exchange on the ship if possible.

Depending on what country you are going to , generally if you buy something with US Dollars, they will gladly give you change in the local currency.

Carnival ships do not have a currency exchange. Carnival may accept foreign currency to setup a Sail and Sign account but I'm not sure what their policy is.

 

The Cayman Dollar is pegged to the US Dollar at the rate of 80 cents Cayman will buy $1 US. Most stores in Georgetown accept both currencies so if your kids want to exchange with out buying anything they could just ask nicely and I'm sure it won't be a problem.

 

In Cozumel the Mexican Peso floats but has been trading north or south of 11 Peso's to the Dollar for many years now. Most vendors will exchange at 10 to 1 so your kids can probably get their pesos anywhere at that rate.
