Jade13 Posted December 24, 2017 #26 Share Posted December 24, 2017 I was in Cuba in July (with Royal Caribbean). Tip your guides in cash, preferably CUC’s. You can exchange currency in the cruise ship terminal. Cash is always welcome. Were the lines extremely long in the terminal as just about everyone off of the cruise ship would need to exchange currency.

Rare LMaxwell Posted December 24, 2017 #27 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Were the lines extremely long in the terminal as just about everyone off of the cruise ship would need to exchange currency. Sent from my iPad using Forums We exchanged cash twice in the terminal; the first time we waited 5 minutes, the second time no wait at all. They have many cash exchange tellers. If you happen to have Euros you get a much more favorable rate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krazy Kruizers Posted December 25, 2017 #29 Share Posted December 25, 2017 I would be those among other passengers in line at the terminal to exchange money to give to the tour guides and drivers. Money is what they all like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAllenTCY Posted December 25, 2017 #30 Share Posted December 25, 2017 The currency exchange in the terminal was very convenient. Probably 10 minute wait for a teller. Beware of the conversion cost.....about 5% if I recall. I'm looking forward to another visit to Cuba.....next time with a tour outside of Havana. My planned tour in May was canceled due to drought.

Sent from my iPad using Forums It was very fast and efficient as there are many currency exchanges in the same area of the terminal. The wait is minimal. If you are from the U.S., do get some CUC’s as some shops, etc. do not accept U.S. currency and you won’t be able to use a credit card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
