Southampton Pier***
We are scheduled to visit Falmouth during our cruise on the Constellation on
April 23rd where we planned to use the ATM to acquire British Pounds....If by chance the waters are too rough for the tender to make landing there, is there an ATM at the Southampton Pier so we will have the proper currency to pay our way to London? Just covering all our bases and wondering if we should get GBP here at home from a bank instead. Thank You! --Jean |

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.. -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

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, 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. --Jean |

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. I implied no such thing and explained my concern because of our experience at the airport in Venice. Since when does not having an ATM at a certain location make a place a third world country? THAT is a ridiculous statement! By the way, thank you for the link to the cruise ship terminal... --Jean |

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. --Jean |
