‒6 hours ‒5 hours +15 hours Note: The above times are based on Eastern Standard Time (EST). Money Matters Cash & Credit
U.S. dollars are accepted for exchange at most ports-of-call, as are major credit cards (MasterCard® and Visa® are preferred). We recommend that you start with changing $200 per person at the airport in Los Angeles or your first international destination. Please note that personal checks are generally NOT accepted overseas.
ATMs
There are several ATM networks that allow you to access cash worldwide. Please note that most international ATMs use four-digit numeric PINs. If your PIN is longer than four digits, you should contact your financial institution for a new PIN number. Also, if your PIN is alphabetic, translate the letters into numbers before leaving the country. You should be aware that your bank may charge an international transaction fee. For ATM locations in foreign cities, check with your credit-card company or bank. You can also log onto
www.mastercard.com or
www.visa.com for ATM locations worldwide.
Travelers’ Checks
If you choose to carry travelers’ checks, we recommend $20 and $50 denominations for ease of exchange. Please note that many merchants in smaller towns or in remote destinations will not accept travelers’ checks and prefer local currency. We regret that travelers’ checks are not accepted on board.
Currency Exchange Your currency can be exchanged at most banks and currency exchange bureaus in the cities on your tour. m/s PAUL GAUGUIN 19 ANSWERBOOK Jul
