travelingduo Posted March 12, 2019 #1 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I posted this question on the roll call for Viking Eastern European cruises, but thought that there may be people who have this experience as well. Because this itinerary goes to to 6 different countries and most of them are just for the day, is it necessary to get local currencies for local guides as none of them are on Euros?

G.M.T. Posted March 12, 2019 #2 Share Posted March 12, 2019 In non Euro countries, tips in Euros will be more greatly appreciated than local currency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuelScience Posted March 12, 2019 #3 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I always ask myself, would a waiter here like being tipped in Euros? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franski Posted March 12, 2019 #4 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I can't remember what we did.... I know we had local currency for both Romania & Hungary --> We may have tipped in Euros in the other countries - or the front desk may have done a bit of exchange for us (Euros to local currency).

If the waiter regularly visits the Euro-zone, I suspect the answer would be 'yes.' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheezedr Posted March 13, 2019 #6 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Since the ship regularly moves in and out of the euro zone, tips in Euros are reasonable. I would not tip in dollars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
