Serenade of the Seas - Arctic Circle - Currency Onboard Question

[Diva Onboard]

We are sailing on the Serenade of the Seas this June, the Norway/Arctic Circle Cruise.

 

Does anyone know if Guest Services onboard is able to exchange U.S. Dollars for Norwegian Krone? We plan on getting some Norwegian Krone (NOK) before we leave but wonder if we have an excess left over, or need more, if Guest Services will be able to exchange the excess NOK for U.S. Dollars - and likewise, if we need more - can they exchange U.S. Dollars for NOK?

We did this cruise last year and it was absolutely fantastic. I can't answer your question about the Krone onboard as we never used them. We used a credit card or U.S dollars.

Lynn -

 

Thanks for your reply. My sister and I have decided to use credit cards since one has to pay a conversion fee one way or the other.

 

I just sent you an email with some additional questions on this cruise through the link you provided but it was returned. It may have gone into your junk box. My email is the same as my name all lower case, no spaces at hotmail.com

 

Please share with us, if you recall - how many formal nights did you have and when were they? Weather-wise, we are planning on layering. We figure the weather will vary anywhere from a high in the low 60's during the day depending on the port to lows in the high 30's at night. Was that your experience when you cruised the Arctic Circle?

 

I appreciate your input.

Speaking generally, most places near a cruise port will take US$. If that is of any use to you. Check the ports of call area of CC to find more information about places to do local exchange.
