Which airport- Marco Polo? I'll be flying into Treviso tomorrow, but have plenty of euro... Yes, it was the Marco Polo A/P and it was in May of 2004 when we took the Westerdam out of Venice for a Mediterranean cruise...Perhaps they have installed ATMs there since...it will be interesting to know if you notice any when you land there... --Jean |

I'm not landing at Marco Polo, but at Treviso (20 off miles away), as I noted! It's rare I encounter an airport without an ATM in Europe- last one was Kirkwall, Orkney, which is very small indeed. -- (*) ... of the royal duchy of city south and deansgate David Horne- http://www.davidhorne.net (don't email yahoo address) usenet (at) davidhorne (dot) co (dot) uk |

Well, as you see now, I'm not...I do notice a lot of *chit chat* that goes on between the regulars who post here. Sounds as if some of you do not like each other very much or know each other well enough to jest with each other as often as you do. Flattery will get you nowhere, they say they about me on *every* group I'm on... :-D -- Best Greg |

Years ago I flew into New York from Heathrow and found there was no way of changing cash in the terminal, somebody gave me the bus fare to the terminal my connecting flight went from. Buses 'airside' at Heathrow from terminal to terminal have always been free. -- William Black I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.

Just covering all our bases and wondering if we should get GBP here at home from a bank instead. Try asking the same question about a major US sea port and hear how silly it sounds. -- Why? Genuine question! Do you mean they definitely would have ATMs? I would certainly expect Southampton passenger terminal to have ATMs, and any major UK rail station etc.. She could always use chocolate bars, instant coffee, cigarettes, and nylons as a substitute for that Brit "funny money"...no silly confusions about sorting out pence, shillings, and pounds. -- Best Greg |

Perhaps you might read what you posted and see how silly it sounds! This will be our 37th cruise but our first Transatlantic one and we have never needed to use an ATM at any major seaport in the US...in fact I have never seen an ATM at any seaport pier, The pier in Southampton isn't where your cruise ship will dock http://www.theheritagetrail.co.uk/pi...on%20royal.htm It will dock at one of the cruise ship terminals. http://www.southamptonvts.co.uk/cruise_ship.asp but then I was not looking for one since I had no need for it....I do, however, remember landing at the airport in Venice several years ago and being told that they had no ATM there at the airport and I ended up going to a foreign money exchange office to get money for transportation to our hotel and how costly it was. I don't know what country you are from but you certainly do not offer helpful advice. I don't ask silly questions that imply England is in the third world either.
