You do not want to do this. It allows RC to set the exchange rate, for which they will take a cut.Pay in the ship currency (probably US dollars as its RC) and you will get the credit/dedit card provider market rate.
Current market rate is about $1.07 to the £, Travelex $1.04."Royal Caribbean will apply a one-time international currency exchange fee of 3% "1 -
Cheers - Would it be better to use an American Express Card for onboard purchases then because its american
and the Starling Card for purchases when ashore in Europe0 -
Don't use Amex for non-sterling, they will charge fee and/or rate markup, Starling Bank do not.
Evolution, not revolution0
