should we bring travelers checks or cash. can you use them in the casino on board the liberty? also can we use them in the ports?

Cash is easiest, but they will cash traveler's checks. If the checks don't cost anything, then fine. But if they do, just bring cash. You will have a safe in your room to lock your "valuables" and cash in! Not all places in ports will accept traveler's check--Cash is King! Or Mastercard/Visa. Not many places accept Amex.

Straw market-style shops only take cash--bring smaller bills, or they may give you "local" money in change!

Never had Amex refused in any place or any country, or any island.

I always bring cash and travelers checks. If I run out of cash they will cash the traveler's checks at the purser's desk. :)
