Thank to both of you! Will take USD and change there! 😊

Yikes now I’m not sure then, maybe by the time I have paid commission on say £30  it may be easier to just swallow the higher price in USD as I have some anyway. It’s mainly for a tip or drink on an tour outing as I’m only there 1 day. Thank you .

Thank you Lexdisic, sounds logical actually, I guess they will always add some on for their trouble! I will get some dina's then, thanks again :-)

We are going on this cruise and will need only a small amount of money for tips, are USD in Jordan acceptable please?

Thank you Jake 26, that's very helpful, so much easier on here to get the info needed. Much appreciation for all the replies. :D

It will be our first time in the Middle East, looking forward to seeing and learning about the culture and history there.

Apparently, if you visit Dubai first the stamp they give you covers Oman and if only there 1 day no visa is required. We go to Oman before Oman and over 3 days so visa is necessary. I can look forward to the cruise now and stop fretting over not getting on it due to lack of documentation!!

before Dubai even!!!

We're on this cruise too :) - As Vitalsign says, TUI do all the visa's required - We take copies of our passport main page, don't wamt to risk losing passport, but have never needed them at any time - maybe the time we don't...............

 

In the past cruises (not TUI) charges are made to the onboard account which I believe was a group visa arranged by the ship. The cost was about £15pp but things change frequently and not all ships actually charge for it. TUI in our information haven't said they would be charging, then again they haven't said they would either :confused:

It looks like an interesting itinerary, thank you, you wouldn't think it was so hard to get an answer from tui or visa company!

We cruised in the Middle East on Celebration Jan 2017 visiting Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Bahrain, Muscat Oman and Khasabi and no visas were required to be obtained by cruisers any needed were provided by Thomson but can't remember where I do remember having to take passports with us in most ports though

Thank you!

We are booked on Authentic Arabia 1 in November this year. Does anyone know if the necessary Visa is obtained at the port in Oman and charged to your onboard account? If I contact Tui they pass me to the Visa Company for confirmation who in turn passes me back to Tui! Very frustrating not being able to get a straight answer!!
