Rare trbarton Posted March 15, 2018 #1 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I’m on a cruise with a stop in Ho Chi Minh. What’s been making purchases? Using a CC or paying cash, US$? Ho Chi MinhI’ve been there before on vacation before but we exchanged US $ as we needed more money. The big Ben Thanh Market has many venders & we used the Dong in making purchases. I’m going on a Princess cruise & would like to hear from people that have cruised there & what their experiences were in making any purchases. Thanks for your reply’s.

Ashland Posted March 15, 2018 #2 Share Posted March 15, 2018 We easily used and the vendor's at the market took our US$$'s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tranquility Base Posted March 15, 2018 #3 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I use cash and pay with Dong. I change my currency at a bank or money changer in Saigon, although there is an ATM at the Bitexco Tower which is the drop off point for the Princess "on your own" tour bus. I keep any Dong left over for my next trip, but if I wasn't going back I'd give it to crew as they can use it at the market stalls on the docks in Vietnam.

Rare Keith1010 Posted March 15, 2018 #4 Share Posted March 15, 2018 For small purchase cash and for a short visit USA. Staying longer we get local. Credit Cards are fine at places that take them. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
