We are trying to book a private shore excursion for St. Petersburg, Aug. 21 & 22, Regal Princess.  Our only issue is that occaisionally, after walking for too long, my back hurts too much.  For that reason when we go to the Hermitage, there are wheelchairs that you can borrow and I would like to save the possibility of using one, if need be.  However, because of that, I cannot go on any of the group shore excursions and must book a private excursion.  I wanted to know if anyone else would like to join us for a two day private shore excursion.  That way we could share the cost and still have the advantage of being in a very small group with a lot of personal attention.  Please reply to Debkrabach@msn.com if you have any interest in pursuing this.  We are a couple in our 60's, from Michigan.  Thanks

European.  Copenhagen = DKK   Stockholm - SEK   EUro's in 3 ports   Olso, Norway = NOK   Russia = rubles

We will be going on a cruise that visits 6 ports, with different currency types in several of the ports.  What does everyone do in order to have the correct currency for each country?  Have anyone used a PrePaid Travelex card for international travel?  That seems to be a good option.  Or do you get a little of each currency at your bank before trip?  Exchanging on the ship is a very bad value for your money, so looking for other options.
