exchange rate

This is our first cruise ,can anyone tell me if you can change your money for euros on the ship or should we change it over here,it's just some say you get a better rate if it is done over there,

JYW,

The general answer to your question is 98% of the time it is better to buy Euros now at the best rate you can get WITHOUT any charges for returning unused ones. The post office has had a decent rate with no return charge.

The Euro is at its lowest level ever, and to be honest I think I would buy ASAP.

The ship normally gives you a poor rate and on top of that will make a charge of 2.5% for using a credit card.

You will only require spending money when going ashore then only if not using ships tours for transport or getting round. With the exception of perhaps a few for souvenirs or a drink.
