What Currency Do I need for Excursions - Southeastern Carib Is

[LongIsCruiser]

Hello All - Looking forward to our first VV cruise in 21 days - Ports are in:
Tortola - Guadeloupe - Barbados - St. Lucia - Antigua

Please let me know if USD are ok for all or if I should get EUR for any. And a recommendation for how much would be a safe amount to get ahead of time.

Antigua accepts dollars, but may give change back in Eastern Caribbean Dollars.

Currently one Eastern Caribbean Dollar is worth 0.37 US.

My understanding is that Guadeloupe is totally Euros.

Tortola accepted USD.  I normally have a limited amount of local currency and use my travel credit card for anything large as it has no exchange fee.  DO figure out whether it is better to purchase in USD or local currency if making more than a minimal purchase.
