Vietnam & making purchases, Credit Card & cash

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.

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.
