I think pricing may depend on when you booked.

We booked our Feb. Jewel cruise in early April and the prices have never come close to what we paid. The current sale looked promising but is still about $200 more for the 2 of us in an inside cabin.

Can anyone tell me how long it took to receive your Nexus card after you completed the interview? Thx.

We received ours exactly 7 days after our interview.

7 to 14 days after the interview. We received our in 10 days if memory is correct.

[hancogran]

I got mine 7 days after the interview but my husband got his 6 days after the interview.

How long after applying did you hear back about the next step?

I applied July 11 and received my email to schedule an appointment yesterday. It was a bit longer than I had thought it was going to be but I assume maybe that has to do with summer holidays.

 

I have an appointment for interview tomorrow. Lucky for me I live fairly close to the Thousands Islands because I was going to have to wait weeks to get into Toronto. The Lansdowne office (at the Thousand Island bridge) has lots of available appointment. I even checked Vancouver since I am there next week and there were only a couple of appointments available but they didn't work for me.

Thanks. I only applied 3 weeks ago so still gotta wait I guess

Thanks to all who replied - I'm happy to hear it doesn't seem like a long process after the interviews are done. I was worried it would take awhile and wanted them for our November trip.Sounds like it should work out for us.

 

We applied in March this year and didn't hear anything back for 2 months so we called. It was ready for the next step but no one had called us so they gave us our info over the phone so we could go online to book our interviews. We did that right away back in May but could not get interviews for 5 months in Edmonton - nothing until mid october:mad: We are a family of 4 and we couldn't get appointments together - not even 2 and 2 - we all have appointments on different days which mean 4 separate trips to the airport since our kids are minors:rolleyes: Good thing we are fairly close I guess.

 

Anyway, rant over.....thanks again for the info!

I'm Canadian and live in Canada. I booked my cruise in Canadian dollars. When I go to my cruise planner, the prices are only inCanadiandollars. I have no choice of currencies, and no exchange rate is shown.

This is not for the cruise fare or purchases made ahead of time but for purchases on board the ship that are in US$. This is basically allowing you to purchase US$ in advance for purchases on board.

Forgive my stupidity,but I can't find where to buy an onboard credit. I'm on my iPad, if that makes a difference.

I'm not seeing it on my March cruise.

[CanadaRob]

Either way it's not a deal like a year or year and a half ago. Will keep checking and hoping...

I can not find this on my booking.

 

Last time, I had to call to purchase OBC for my booking.

Just to clarify, this is for a credit that RCCL has given me. They have given a $200 OCB that I can use and what this is telling me is that I can use this $200 for my purchases such as dinning or excursions. It is showing me $264 cnd and explaining how they came to that rate. I can use this $264 to make my purchases for dinning/excursions before I board, which you could not do before.

Its not a spot that you can actually purchase OBC, just the spot where it shows OBC and it is right on the cruise planner page.

Because of a price reduction, I was told I'd be given a $318 U.S OBC. I don't see it anywhere on my reservation/cruise planner. Sailing in December. Maybe later.:confused:

The only place my OBC shows up is on my "Booking Confirmation" which RCI emailed to me. You could call and ask them to email it and you will likely see it on there.

Wish I knew how to take a copy of the page so I can show what I mean. I did post a link but looks like it didn't work.

Thanks. Will call them and ask for it.
