I know the general consensus is to just use USD while in Caribbean ports, but I was reading up on some of the excursions in Falmouth, Jamaica and Grand Cayman on DCL's site, and it says:
"Guests are encouraged to bring local currency or credit cards to purchase optional extras such as souvenirs and snacks."
I really don't want to use credit cards there for a number of reasons, foreign transaction fees being one of them, so do those of you who have done the Western Caribbean itinerary, do you take Jamaican dollar with you? If so, there's also the commonly asked question of roughly how much? How much do things like photos and photos CDs cost at Dunn's? I don't plan on buying much, maybe a trinket here or there, and maybe some photos.
Do you plan to have foreign currencies for all of the ports or do you stick with USD all around? If you use USD, do you calculate or factor in exchange rate?
