Travis26 Posted December 4, 2022 #1 Share Posted December 4, 2022 Could anyone tell me what currency they have used when visiting Cuba? The lady at the tui store said we have to change our money when we get there but we've just booked a car ride/excursion and our driver is accepting uk Sterling as payment. We've looked online and euros,Canadian dollars and their own Cuban pesos amongst others are also accepted!?. Does anyone have a definitive answer? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tizzy-Jo Posted December 4, 2022 #2 Share Posted December 4, 2022 It’s some years since I’ve been to Cuba but the currency used by visitors then was the Cuban Convertable Peso. You should be able to get that inside the port. I have no doubt you will be informed on board ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike.S Posted December 4, 2022 #3 Share Posted December 4, 2022 When we visited it was the Cuban Convertable Peso, you can only get it in Cuba. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manchester is blue Posted December 4, 2022 #5 Share Posted December 4, 2022 (edited) W spent two weeks on a land based holiday, a week in Havana, and the second week in Varadero. I wouldn’t visit again, however if dealing with street vendors, taxi drivers etc,the US dollar is the currency you want,….If you are dealing with proper shops, bars, restaurants etc local peso.

Alison2022 Posted December 5, 2022 #6 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Cruised there in March. The classic car drivers accepted our US dollars but said pounds and Euros were preferable. For local purchases you can get Cuban Peso at the exchange in the cruise terminal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
