Chaffesbird Posted May 11, 2017 #2 Share Posted May 11, 2017 We went in June and it was very warm. Didn't expect that. We took euro's and used ATMs to draw out small amounts of cash in countries that were not in the eurozone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanzalady Posted May 16, 2017 #3 Share Posted May 16, 2017 We just used euros everywhere, except in St. Petersburg, where we took some American dollars to pay for our privately arranged 2 day tour. I think that most currencies were acceptable in all the port areas. We did find that the local toilets in the port area of Stockholm were a problem as they were only accessible with a coin of the local currency. We just went into a nearby hotel and used their loos instead! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony1878 Posted May 16, 2017 #4 Share Posted May 16, 2017 We used euros in most places, you are fairly safe using your card most of the time, USD$ or local currency in Russia. We went in early September and the weather was fantastic, St Petersburg was the warmest of the lot, didn't expect that. Also the sea was the flattest, calmest we have had in about half a dozen cruises. We sailed under the bridge between Sweden and Denmark at around midnight and it was still light outside, a bit like dusk in the UK, totally weird. Absolutely loved this trip, enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
