Hi

We are leaving on March 2nd on the Adventure of the Seas. The islands we are going to are: Curacao, Aruba, St Maartan and St Thomas. I have read that Curacao and Aruba both accept American money but can not find anything about the other two.

Does anyone know if they all accept American money or should I buy some American and some other type of currency?

Help:S

St Thomas uses the American dollar ..........



St Martin accepts the US dollar(even though they dont use it as their currency)..............



Just a tip though.....make sure you have smaller bills..........sometimes you get foreign money back for your change....and you dont want to be stuck with a bunch of it........

Good thing about St. Thomas is that since it is the U.S. Virgin Islands.......their currency IS the American dollar!

Was on Adventure of the Seas this past December, all the islands take the US dollar.

Some islands, like Martinique and Guadaloupe, which are Departments of France, use the euro as their primary currency, but will usually accept US dollars at close to the official exchange rate. If you are traveling to any of these islands, check out the official exchange rate so that you can be sure you are getting near value when you make any purchases. The euro may be the official currency on the French side of St. Martin, but I would check on that to confirm. Other than those islands, the US dollar is readily accepted throughout the Caribbean.:)
