We have never been to Europe before. We are booked on a HAL cruise in the Mediterranean next May, and we are trying to figure out what to do about money. It is apparent that pretty much only Euros are used, but what does that mean? Do we have to bring lots of Euros in cash, can we use credit/debit cards anywhere, do we still tip in American dollars on the ship, and how safe is it to have lots of Euros in cash?
We have been on 17 cruises, but never to Europe, so we are confused. I imagine lots of people can answer this, but we are in the planning stage.
Thanks to all!
