mrneil001 Posted July 14, 2015 #1 Share Posted July 14, 2015 (edited) While playing/pricing some cruises, I went to http://www.carnival.co.uk to see if there was a price difference. Using google's euro to dollar, seems that their prices are much cheaper. Not sure if US citizens can purchase from there. Did'nt want to post any prices on here since I wasnt sure if that was allowed, but there was quite a significant difference.. in the +100ish range. Edit: Plus they get:"Save 5% by booking Online" Edited July 14, 2015 by mrneil001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Plus they get:"Save 5% by booking Online" The prices there are quoted in british pounds, not euros. Current conversion is 1 = $1.56. My cruise priced out about the same. It let me sign in using my carnival account. So it appears as if you could book there. Don't know any future implications of doing this, positive or negative, if any. Interesting for future reference though. Edited July 14, 2015 by sarmat1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kcruiser2014 Posted July 14, 2015 #3 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I checked one and it was over 200$ cheaper after the conversion. But, all deposits are non refundable and you can't get early saver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ms Jo UK Posted July 14, 2015 #7 Share Posted July 14, 2015 There are no price drops on UK site even before final payment the price you book at is the price you pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dpondex Posted July 14, 2015 #8 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Close to the same price for me as well. However, I like the flow of the booking process a bit better on the UK site the ability to have everything on the same screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
