What currency do you need to take on a Caribbean cruise?

greneda accept Easten carribean dollors barbados have there own dollars aswell as trinidad your best bet would be to bring your own currency and exchange it over there...the exchange rate will be considerably low because of the christmas period..hope this helps

US dollars are accepted all over the Caribbean.

The US Dollar will probably be accepted in all these places. Just check with your local travel agent.

The US dollar is widely accepted throuout the Caribean but it is worth noting that any change given is also in US currency.The ship is a bad place to exchange currency and then any unused will have to be changed back.I will also be doing the same visiting 17 ports in 30 days. My advice is set in stone after 73 cruises mostly in the Caribean.Enjoy Ocean Village

They LOVE American money and it is used in all ports. Most places will even give you American money back. Once I wanted local money and to ask for it.

i just returned and wondered same thing before going. Your good ole American dollar might be feeling the pinch but she will get accepted everywhere in caribbean.

US dollar

American money is accepted just about everywhere, but if not the ships do have a machine that will exchange your money. The easy way is to just use your credit or debit card. Be sure to tell whomever you have your cards with that you are going out of the country.That way they won't get suspicious with Caribbean charges. The other benefit of using a credit card is they guarantee your purchase.

On the ship you need us dollars. But if you plan to do some shopping iff shore its best to get a small summ in every countrys currency and its much better to do that before your cruise starts since changing isnt a cruise lines best part. But if youre not into shopping you can get youre credit card along you (youll use it for your onboard account anyway) and thats work on more places than you think. Johan.
