Once you clear customs (showing your passport and visa) and pass through a security check, you will see a currency exchange area ahead. You will have a full day and a half in Havana. I was able to get money in the mid afternoon for my evening tour and the one the next morning before the ship left Havana. The exchange was really busy the morning we sailed away, so I would not try to get more than what I could spend because you won't likely have time to exchange the money back to dollars.

Also-- if you have Euros, exchange those. There is a 10% surcharge to change US Dollars. There is no surcharge on other currencies.

I'm trying to talk Hubby into the Dec 11 for our anniversary. Never been on the Sky. Hubby isn't much of a cruiser but this is a short one maybe he'll indulge me.

Hey, I wasn't sure I was much of a cruiser, either, but I liked this cruise (my first ever cruise as a passenger!). It is informal which really helps someone ambivalent about cruising relax. The open bar on this boat helps a lot, too! Lol! Tell your husband that it is pretty informal and laid back and nothing beats being on the top open deck at sunset sailing out of Miami with a tropical drink in hand. It is also only 4 days, so really, it isn't like you are stuck on the boat crossing the Atlantic or something. The day on the private beach after Havana was nice and relaxing, too. Happy anniversary!
