I had to get Euros from a Federal Reserve Bank. As I recall (haven't done it yet for this year's cruise), I contacted my local bank and was given the phone number of the nearest Federal Reserve Bank. Called them, told them how many Euros I wanted, the clerk told me how much they would cost (there's the exchange rate plus service fee....) and then processed the paperwork after debiting my my account and then sent the money to me.At least that's the way I recall it happening. In any case, begin by calling your local bank. Another thought -- you might try AAA, although mine doesn't provide currency exchange service.
