What about currency?
The currency used on board is the U.S. $. When you check in you open a shipboard account by registering a major credit card such as VISA®, MasterCard® or American Express.

Please be advised that some banks may hold the pre-authorisation for up to 30 days. Throughout the voyage incremental holds will be obtained based on your on-board expenditure. This will reduce the amount of available credit on the credit card or restrict the availability of cash in your bank account. Currency exchange, at prevailing rates, is available on some cruises.
