Ken at the beach Posted May 25, 2016 #3101 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Every once in a while it works. :) Every little bit is nice. The savings covered a good part of the fining package that we just purchased. You need to be real careful when comparing prices. With all the different offers they have had done with OBC and dome without and the OBC bring in US$... Not easy to compare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need an abacus and a flow chart to figure out all the calculations and logarithms just to figure out if you are further ahead.;) Edited May 25, 2016 by A&L_Ont Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On hold now. Royal's continuing strategy...don't answer the phones unless the customer presses 2 for new bookings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily I was less than 5 minutes on hold and 15 on the phone to save $384. Not bad for 20 minutes.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinkertwo Posted May 27, 2016 #3106 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Theres a new offer for Canadian Residence on RCCL's web site. Its 35% off your cruise. Doesn't really say how long the offer is good for.

ubish00 Posted May 27, 2016 #3114 Share Posted May 27, 2016 (edited) Seeing all these savings was so hoping I might get something for my cruise in December. No dice. It'd cost $600 more and it would only be a guarantee. Edited May 27, 2016 by ubish00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

traveler279 Posted May 28, 2016 #3116 Share Posted May 28, 2016 When we were on Serenade last February on a 10 night cruise Royal ran the 35% Canada special for three days. We booked the same itinerary for next February using that deal. The base price for our Ocean View Stateroom has risen from $1646 CAD to $2169 CAD. So when they offer the Canadian rate now we don't see any savings. We're just happy with what we got. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuCruise Posted May 28, 2016 #3117 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Today the Liberty is showing $2224 CAD for a family of four for last week in the summer. Now, that's a guarantee interior, so it'll probably be the very smallest fitting four, but still that's still pretty amazing price if you ask me.

Halo19 Posted May 28, 2016 #3118 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Has anyone changed over Canadian money recently? Do they still have the good rate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadaRob Posted May 28, 2016 #3119 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Last reported at 1.4 call gifts and gear and let us know if they have readjusted to anything more reasonable Sent from my SGH-I337M using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xcell Posted May 30, 2016 #3120 Share Posted May 30, 2016 1.4 seems quite high for exchange rate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken at the beach Posted May 30, 2016 #3121 Share Posted May 30, 2016 1.4 seems quite high for exchange rate Maybe they are trying to recoup what they lost by giving it to us at 1.1 for just over a year. For OBC, purchases through the cruise planner and cruise pricing Royal only updates their exchange rates quarterly or more so if our $ jumps up suddenly their exchange rates are put by quite a bit compared to eat we can get at the bank.

csnarpy Posted May 30, 2016 #3122 Share Posted May 30, 2016 1.4 seems quite high for exchange rate Considering that at the time they changed it, if you were to exchange it yourself then 1.4 was the going rate and the you'd have to pay for international CC fees. They may have updated it since but I heard they only do this quarterly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trev71 Posted May 30, 2016 #3123 Share Posted May 30, 2016 1.4 seems quite high for exchange rate on Friday Scotia bank charged on Friday 1.341100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fouremco Posted May 30, 2016 #3124 Share Posted May 30, 2016 With a family cruise booked for next March, I decided to check the prices for all four cabins. Three were a few dollars cheaper, but we would lose the higher value OBC in each case. In the fourth case, the price has gone up $2,200! :eek: We did get a great deal on the original booking, so no complaints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
