How many CDNs are still cruising with the low dollar

[dmk]

The Mexican Peso has terrific value against the Canadian dollar. We are planning to spend our time in Mexico instead of cruising until things turnaround. It is quite a change for us since we have been taking 2 cruises a year since 2002.

Another side effect of the CDN dollars slide is in price drops. My current Oct 10th sailing has seen a $400US price drop per person in a balcony, but yet the price is still the same for me because of the drop in value.

 

With the exchange rate it works out to $1000 CDN total extra for the two of us.

You believe that the falling loonie has effected demand enough to result in price decreases ? I am less sure of that then you . Many have posted that the prices for their cruises have greatly increased from when they originally booked .What I am sure of is that the cruise lines are no longer offering exchange rate "deals" . :( On my last 3 cruises , I booked direct with the cruise lines because of these deals .I am no longer finding these currency exchange bargains .

What I'm saying is that my cruise is struggling to find passengers because it doesn't seem to be a popular itinerary. I booked at about an $.80 CDN-US. Celebrity readjusted their pricing in CDN upward in early in January to reflect the CDN dollars slide to $.70. Since then he price in US dollars is now $400 cheaper and yet my price right now is still the same even though there has been a price drop in the CDN prices as well.
