U.S. Dollars vs. Barbadian dollars
Probably an easy question for somebody here to answer.
We have only been to Barbados for the odd day at a time (joining or leaving cruise ship) and have therefore not bothered with BBDs but used USDs.
In a few weeks we will be trying a "Stay-Cruise" with a week on ship and a week on shore. We will be taking USD for the various cruise destinations, but for the week on Barbados I am assuming we will be better to have BBD available, especially for small purchases in non-tourist areas.
Can anyone confirm my assumption - i.e that the small shopkeeper will be reluctant/unable to take USD and give BBD in change (or will rip us off on the exchange rate)? Or does everybody take the USD with no problem?
Any other advice/info gratefully received.
Cheers
