I used only dirhams and don't remember seeing anyone using any other currency. There are plenty of banks available where you can change money. Or, why not get an ATM card? The exchange rate is so much more favorable.

I would say €'s are a better bet but you might be able to use USD also. But in either case you will not get a good exchange rate for using a foreign currency so it would be wise to get dirhams.
I am usually the big cheerleader for using the ATM instead of a bank or exchange facility. But in Morocco the exchange is regulated by the government so it doesn't matter where you exchange. That was the case in early 2004 when I visited, I don't know if that's changed or not.

I have been to Marrakech --drove there from Tangiers via Rabat/Casa, then took the train to Oujda/Oran/Algiers, so am pretty much aware of the geography. OP mentioned that she was going on a tour from a cruise ship' hence the 'port of Marrakech' comment.
