Hi Liam,
Welcome to planDisney! It is so lovely to have you sail by with your Disney Cruise Line question.
How exciting to embark on your
first Disney Cruise Line vacation! You will love everything about it – the scrumptious food, the stunning entertainment, the fun adult-exclusive spaces – all wrapped up in the magic only Disney can create!
Liam, I checked with a Disney Cruise Line shoreside Cast Member about your question. Since
all charges will be in US Dollars, you must pay in USD. The good news is you will not need to convert currency for use on the ship since expenses, including gratuities, are all billed to your onboard account. Liam, I suggest you stop by the
Guest Services desk and discuss with them the specifics of your request and see if one of the knowledgeable Crew Members can offer other advice.
Don't forget to download the
Disney Cruise Line Navigator app before you board the ship. This handy app puts all your cruise plans right at your fingertips. You can view your folio of charges on the app so you can keep track of your spending if you would like. Another feature I often use is the "reminder" option that helpfully reminds you of events and activities you don't want to miss. Just click the heart icon next to the activities and events, and the app sends a reminder about 15 minutes before that event so you don't miss it.
I hope this information helps as you plan for your big adventure. Let us know if you have other questions or need tips to make the most of your cruise.
Wishing you many magical memories,
Shannon
