No, you did not...

Please stop spreading disinformation.

The Euro D****r has never existed and
does not exist now.



"The Euro hit a four-year low relative to the US dollar last week, and as of
this writing is valued at US$1.22. The Euro has also plunged relative to the
Canadian dollar, currently trading at C$1.32. The weakening of the Euro may
not be great news for the global economy but it does bode well for Americans
and Canadians traveling to Europe this summer."

"North American travelers on ocean-going cruises will feel the positive
impact of the lower Euro in shoreside spending, including pre- and
post-cruise hotel stays. In addition, MSC and Costa use the Euro as their
onboard currency, so onboard purchases on these lines will be a bit
cheaper."

"The cheaper Euro is not likely to have a direct impact on cruise prices,
however, as supply and demand dictate what cruise lines can charge in order
to sail full. Current pricing is more closely related to the record number
of ships in European waters this summer (excess supply) and the dampening
effect that Iceland's Eyjafjallajokull volcano has had on bookings over the
past several weeks (restricting demand). Great, last-minute, European cruise
bargains should persist through the summer."

Just an FYI, John, those greenbacks in your wallet aren't "US Yen"...

Hi Warren,

There was a time back in December of '41 when we weren't all that sure of
that "US Yen" thingee.

I must say that I had some strange emotions running around my innards when I
cruised around Pearl Harbor, especially when the announcing was bi-lingual,
English and Japanese. We were told about a sneak attack, but what did they
tell the Japanese? Great victory? It does make you wonder. Being friendly
is a whole lot better.

Currency movements are normal and to be expected.
You still post the name of a currency which does not exist.
Please take it on board that asking for EuroDollars is
a sure way to get contempt.
People should not be misled with false information.
You write that you had a wallet full of currency whose
name you could not be bothered to remember
If you cannot remember a name with only four letters,
what reliance can be put on anything else you claim
to be "fact"?
Does posting your signature file not carry with it any
obligation to try to be accurate?
Regarding tipping:-
WHEN ABROAD, FIND OUT THE LOCAL RULES
AND FOLLOW THEM.
Otherwise the line of this post applies.

Happy (properly informed) cruising.
