Hitting Infinity again for the 15 night Panama in September...normally I never need foreign currency, however, I know I will be taking local taxis around Acapulco and will need pesos.

Can I get dollars converted on board?

Also doing 13 night Constellation in January...is the Bar at the End of the Earth all its cracked up to be?

All cruise ships carry currency for there various ports of call, for each country they visit, available at the pursers desk or in some cases at a bank desk, no problem.

I called Celebrity and they said no....was she wrong, or maybe its not "all" cruise ships??

Sorry I thought all ships carried currency for various ports when traveling country to country. I know on some of our previous cruises this has been the case.But if Celebrity say no on your particular cruise,they must know.

I've done foreign currency transactions at the banks on M Claas ships so I was curious about Conniemc's call to Celebrity on which a "no" answer was given. I just called Celebrity and got a "yes"answer. I believe the answer is "yes", you will be able to exchange dollars for pesos at the ship's bank on your "Infinity" cruise. By the way, I find that different customer service reps might give different answers to the same question. Check it out a bit further. Policies and services do change, but I'd be very surprised if the final answer isn't "yes".

REALLY? Interesting.....
Think I'll call Captains Club instead of regular customer service.....see if I get a different response. As long as you say you've done it on M class, that's good enough for me. Thanks!
