hancogran Posted March 8, 2016 #2701 Share Posted March 8, 2016 (edited) I just transferred some CND into my US acc't through TD Bank and it was $1.36, so looks like they are trying to make up some of the money they lost with the $1.10 rate :eek: :) I did the same thing this afternoon with my TD accounts .. $1.3643 ! :) Certainly much better than the $1.41 that RCI are offering!:p Edited March 8, 2016 by hancogran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hancogran Posted March 8, 2016 #2703 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Isn't that the price of a glass in US funds on the ship? I think you may be right! :eek: I refuse to pay Royal's prices for a glass of wine. Ridiculous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare A&L_Ont Posted March 8, 2016 #2706 Share Posted March 8, 2016 HAHA.. :D Got your bags all packed for your cruise? Yes sir. A few last minute items to throw in (not hooch or Ripple) Saturday morning and we are off. Keep your eyes open for a review going live Friday, or possibly late Thursday.

cruising_chow Posted March 8, 2016 #2709 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Some of the 2018 Caribbean cruises have been released. Just booked a southern on the Adventure in a Jr Suite. It was less than a balcony! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CGinMTL Posted March 8, 2016 #2715 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Allo All, I think the cruise lines are better to give the better exchange rate on "booking" then OBC. . thanks for the info on NCL at par. . Celebrity is also having a good promo right now. . I agree ..... buy actual USD at the bank vs OBC from the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hancogran Posted March 8, 2016 #2716 Share Posted March 8, 2016 We just did the same. I checked a few sailings and saw that the JS's were less than the balconies. Glad it worked out for you Ken! I've never seen that kind of pricing before. Now you can just go and enjoy your cruise this weekend. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately They haven't opened all the ships itineraries yet. We are still looking for one for Christmas. Maybe Navigator or Indy. Hopefully those will be released in the next few days before we leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully those will be released in the next few days before we leave. Having those points for the flights makes the deal even sweeter! We love sailing from San Juan. Hopefully they'll be done loading the itineraries in a day or so and you'll find something for Christmas. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuCruise Posted March 8, 2016 #2719 Share Posted March 8, 2016 (edited) Just did a search for April 2018 (i.e. 2 years out) on the Oasis class and am seeing prices of $1100 - $1300 CAD. That doesn't look like a good deal to me....especailly being so far out. Edited March 8, 2016 by LuCruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't look like a good deal to me....especailly being so far out. Agreed, I've been looking at Oasis-class ships for fall 2017 and no itineraries look like a good deal to me, either. :( Disappointed. I have no prior experience with first-release pricing, but I wouldn't normally book at these prices. I might anyhow with the hope that the prices will drop, to hold onto a cabin. If the prices do not drop enough, I will cancel and get my deposit refunded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the CAD dollar will improve and that will help with the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moopetguy Posted March 8, 2016 #2723 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Yeah, but if they do drop, then call and get your price adjusted. I know...that's why I said I might book anyhow :) But, I'm not going to keep the booking if it remains higher than I like after any price drops that do appear prior to final payment. I won't hesitate to cancel if the price is NOT right (but I will be sad about not cruising). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't hesitate to cancel if the price is NOT right (but I will be sad about not cruising). I would just book then and know your limit. You have nothing to lose (but dissapoitment). Hope it goes down for you. (I know if the other thread you also commented you were waiting for prices to come out) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brfan Posted March 8, 2016 #2725 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Some of the 2018 Caribbean cruises have been released. Just booked a southern on the Adventure in a Jr Suite. It was less than a balcony! Did you book online or through Royal? Hopefully that isn't an error in the pricing. When the Transatlantics were released there was some funky pricing the first day. For example when I priced the Serenade TA for solo it halved the price rather than doubling it. I'm wondering if I had booked it would Royal have let me keep that price (just over $2000 CAD for an inside) or made me pay the actual (around $3900 CAD)?
