going on a european river cruise. what should we bring. Is jacket and tiwe necessary.?
The river cruise starts in Amsterdam and goes to France. IS American express travel check cards easily acceptable in Europe. Does airport in Frankfurt take money from travel card and give back in euro.
First the card.
American express credit card is often accepted, but not always.
If you can (also) bring a Visa or MasterCard card you will more often be able to use your card.
In most of the Airports of Europe you will find ATMs that will give you money on your bank card, and also if with higher fees, your credit card.
If you use one of those the money you get in Frankfurt will be Euros. I do not understand what you mean by travel card, but if it works as credit card, you can get money on it, but ask how much fees you will pay for use in ATMs and for use as credit card (if it works that way.)
Ask your bank whether your bank card is ready for use abroad, and what each use will cost you. The card of your own bank is likely better than any other system, as it is often the cheapest option by far.
When you would bring cash or travelers cheques you would still pay a fee, most likely a much higher fee too.
In the paperwork for your cruise you will find clothing advise.
It ranges from casual, (jeans and T-shirt type) to full formal, with ladies going in evening dress.
Mostly a tie is going to be appreciated, a jacket is not always needed, that depends on the cruise line and how many stars this actual cruise got.
