Cruising to Bermuda, ATMs? US $?
My parents are going on a cruise to Bermuda and my dad asked me if he should get traveler's checks.
As a frequent traveler I almost passed out at the idea of travelers checks in this day and age  
Snobbery aside, they are going to St. George only. Will the shops/restaurants accept US dollars?
If they need local currency, are there ATMs near the port?
TIA!

I would imagine that they would accept USD. I wouldnt suggest ATM's though. When i was in St Martin I had to go to the ATM and the fee that you get charged is out of this world!!!!

I believe my parents used good old credit cards in Bermuda. Also, just US cash for any taxi rides, small purchases etc.

We used both cash and traveler's checks 14 years ago...
Can I ask when your parents are going as we are going in August!!!

Re: Cruising to Bermuda, ATMs? US $?
I just cruised to Bermuda 5/31 out of Cape Liberty...
I used cash (US dollars) & credit cards everywhere.
...and boy is it $$$. (we were shopping in Hamilton though, I think the shops may be trendier that St. George).
