I'd say that most people who deal with cruisers can easily substitute

Most of them have to be. Cruising is expensive, or can be, and the
opportunities to make money while doing it are few, and the expenses
are always more than you planned.

The opportunities for cruisers to carry excess cash are limited, as
well. Even in an age of plastic, most tip-earners prefer bills.

Special cases, cruisers. Of course, if they don't visit because they
don't feel welcome, or feel gouged, the whole economy of Bananastan
suffers.
