Most will be prepared for being in Euroland, spending wise, but there are potential costs for conversion and Sterling only CC.

Sorry I did not put the link allanandjean , OH out at moment sorting a computer for a friend and he usually does it for me, many thanks for putting it on.

Not surprising really. The annual fixed exchange rate must have been a big looser for them. New arrangement is no different to how any credit card operation works

I'm not sure the £ is weakening. It floats between 1.08 and 1.12 Euros to the £. Currently seems to be sitting in the middle. Looking back at previous year leading up to Covid this is fairly typical, as is the climb to up to 1.18 in the summer.

The difference in buying and selling is what has always wound me up. A money broker friend of mine used to look at margins of a penny in the pound on transactions of £100K, so why do we get stung so heavily. Answer because the exchange bureaus are greedy.

Hi RK, I would not have known had you not posted-so thank you!

 Interestingly I had an email from BF this morning offering me a cabin upgrade for our trip later this year but no mention of the currency change.

I have also had same email re cabin upgrade.

That is ok allanandjean.

 

Anyone know why sailings on the Salamanca to Spain have been changed to the Galicia (same sailing times and ports are the same) ?
