Currency

[NW Pacific]

Can you use US currency in Tortola and the Dominican Republic, I assume you can in St. Thomas? If not, does the ship exchange US for local currency before getting off at these Ports?

US Dollars are generally accepted in the DR, exchanging is easy at any bank or hotel. I tend to use ATM's where ever I go, and have never had a problem including in the DR where I go about once a year. I would expect Tortola to be the same.

St. Thomas is a US Port so US Dollars are the official currency. Also, US $$$ is the official currency of the British Virgin Islands so you are all set with US $ in Tortola. The Dominican Peso is the official currency of the DR but the US Dollar is widely accepted, no need to exchange your money. Enjoy your trip! :)
