Baby Hughy Posted October 19, 2012 #1 Share Posted October 19, 2012 I am wondering what currencies are required for the ports of call on this cruise or will just U.S. cash and Euros suffice? Bill Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted October 19, 2012 #2 Share Posted October 19, 2012 I am not sure any of the Baltic Countries take the Euro I usually look up the country currency at Oanda.com or http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0884794.html In Russia I think they will still take USD or Euro for tips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mura Posted October 20, 2012 #6 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Out St. Petersburg guide in May 2001 made it clear she wanted to be paid in dollars. On the Black Sea cruise this summer, most of our groups wanted to be paid in dollars, so we assumed the guides and drivers preferred dollars as well. In Constanta (Romania) we could pay in dollars or euros, but everywhere else we paid in dollars. OTOH, I think when eating in restaurants (which we only did once or twice) they wanted local currency. We used a cab in Trabzon, Turkey and he asked for dollars. Mura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spindrift Posted October 20, 2012 #7 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Usuallty the ship will have the currency you need and can do an exchange. So it may cost you a few extra dollars, but it is worth not having to "guess." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miata6 Posted October 22, 2012 #8 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Sweden, Estonia and Poland are not Euro currency countries. Don Estonia is a member of the EU as of 2011. No more kroon. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
