Currency and credit cards
Hi,
I didn't see this topic on the existing forum, so I apologize if I'm not asking for the information in the correct place.
I am travelling on the Eastbound Blue Danube and wanted to ask about the use of credit cards and the need to convert to local currency before departing the US.
I have a credit card that doesn't charge a foreign transaction fee, so plan to use it where accepted.
I also plan to convert some Euro before I leave the US.
For the Czech Republic (Czech Koruna) and Hungary (Hungarian Forint), do you recommend I also convert some dollars before I depart?
(I don't want to spend my days searching for ATMs!)
If anyone wants to share thoughts on the amount of cash generally needed (I realize everyone's spending habits differ!), I'd also appreciate it.
Many thanks in advance,
Debbie
