Opportunities to Change Money on Ship or Prior to Excursions

Hi all,

I am taking my dad on the Grand Princess on October 29. We have set up a large number of private excursions, most of which we will have to pay in cash - in Euros. I am bringing a "money card" with me with sufficient funds to withdraw cash - ATM style, but I am trying to figure out whether I can get money on the ship in Euros or how to make sure I have enough Euros each day, without having to carry so much with me to Europe. Any thoughts/suggestions would be much appreciated!

You might find that they will take USD, but if not the purser should be able to exchange money for you.

Use a Shore side ATM. On the EP last year they had a money changing machine with very high fees a very low rate.
