Thanks for all those quick responses and suggestions. I didn't even think of using our ATM card. As I said we will credit card everything we can, but in reading about restaurants, in Rome for instance, a lot of the smaller places don't accept credit cards. Think we might just get some Euros before we leave, will take some traveler's checks to cash onboard the ship if we need, and of course credit cards. Yes, we had thought of and will call the CC company ahead of time to let them know we are traveling.

WOW Suzanne that would just set me off to a bad start for sure. How did the CC company know it wasn't you, since you had obviously let them know you would be traveling? Sounds like they declined all attempts and you got ahold of them quickly enough to take care of it.

We are also planning on taking copies of our passports and the numbers for the credit card companies, just in case, we had been advised to do that the one time we went to London.

Thnaks again.
