TOWN retailers claim a ferry firm is telling its cruise passengers that Guernsey accepts only euros.

Some P&O Cruises crews, they said, are giving out misguided information about the island's currency.

Guernsey Post runs currency exchange Batif and the utility's communications manager Cassandra Fish acknowledged there had been several incidences of passengers coming to the island carrying the wrong currency.

'We did have a few people in over the weekend. Sometimes they have come over and left their debit cards on the ship, so they are a bit stuck until we change it back.'

A spokeswoman for P&O said it had checked all of its port guides, website and pre-cruise information and found it to be correct.
