reveur15 Posted May 19, 2016 #1 Share Posted May 19, 2016 just an update for canadian fellows. i just booked a cruise for 2018. for canadians who are interested to book in CND$ the current exchange rate was 1.266 on base cruise price and 1.333 on everything else (tax, service charge for the free beverage package, insurance & everything else available on my ncl). I could not resist to the free drink package available for inside room in the new promo (cabin is 849$ base price per person while drink package is 790$ per person for 10 days) almost free cruise fare :D i will look forward for a last minute upgrade later if the price are dropping. otherwise it will be my first inside after 2 suite cruises. :eek: have a nice cruise ! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Can you ask for a 'preferred' rate? When I do, matters magically improve by about 1.5 cents (RBC). The whole notion of a preferred rate is absurd (and no, I'm not a big customer) and the notion of having-to-ask is absurd, but it can't hurt to try.

I actually buy both CAD and USD here in New Zealand and do not do the cross in my Canadian bank (BMO) Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reveur15 Posted May 20, 2016 Author #8 Share Posted May 20, 2016 i could not resist to rebook to a balcony when i saw a low price on a canadian TA website. But that was an error and i had the chance to keep that price. You can read about it there : http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2358100#goto_threadtools Now i just have to cancel my original Inside reservation from NCL.
