Oceania Cruises uses a cashless system based on the U.S. dollar. All on board purchases and services, other than the casino, will be billed to an on board account. You will be required to register an American Express, Mastercard, Discover or Visa card during the embarkation process. While the United States Dollar (USD) is widely accepted in most tourist areas, each island does have its own currency. Accessing funds is straightforward with the use of credit cards or ATMs (automated teller machines), although it’s advisable to exchange some currency before your trip to have cash available. Please note that some small shops and fast-food establishments in the Caribbean may not accept bills larger than $20. ARUBA: The Aruban Florin (AWG) is the official currency, but U.S. dollars are widely accepted and often quoted alongside florins. Credit cards are broadly accepted, and ATMs are plentiful, dispensing AWG (and sometimes USD), though small purchases, tips, and taxis may require florins. CURACAO: The official currency is the Netherlands Antillean guilder (ANG), but U.S. dollars are widely accepted in tourist areas and often quoted alongside guilders. Major credit cards are commonly accepted at hotels, restaurants, and larger shops, and ATMs are widely available, though small purchases, tips, and taxis may require local currency. BONAIRE & BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS: The official currency is the U.S. dollar (USD), which is used island-wide, making payments simple for visitors. Major credit cards are widely accepted at hotels, restaurants, and shops, and ATMs are available, though carrying some cash is helpful for small purchases, tips, and taxis. GRENADA & ST. LUCIA: The Eastern Caribbean Dollar (XCD) is the official currency, but U.S. dollars are widely accepted in tourist areas, hotels, and restaurants. Major credit cards are commonly accepted, ATMs are available across the island, and carrying small amounts of local currency is helpful for taxis, tips, and small purchases. ST. BARTS: The euro (EUR) is the official currency, and while some businesses accept U.S. dollars, exchange rates may vary. Credit cards are widely accepted at hotels, restaurants, and boutiques, ATMs are available, and carrying small amounts of euros is useful for taxis and smaller purchases.
