sandancer Posted June 24, 2016 #5 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Merion Mom is from the US and her post was directed to her US friends. If it had been the other way round and the £ was strong against the $ I would have been waiting for the bank to open. A silver lining to this particular cloud is that more tourists will come to the UK and spend their money here as it will now go further.

Biker19 Posted June 24, 2016 #6 Share Posted June 24, 2016 If one is a risk taker, one might look at buying a cruise on the UK site before RCI gets a chance to adjust prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
besberry Posted June 24, 2016 #7 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Unfortunately I booked my February cruise through a US TA and as things stand at the moment it's going to cost me an extra £477 :( Hopefully the pound will rise a bit before fainal payment is due.

maryann2 Posted June 24, 2016 #8 Share Posted June 24, 2016 At least you can cancel which they can't do without losing deposit in the UK. It will only get worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick, that's a downer. Hopefully any perks you got from a US TA compared to booking in the UK will compensate a little. Today was an over-reaction, I'm sure things will calm down given the actual Brexit could be years away yet.

densol Posted June 24, 2016 #12 Share Posted June 24, 2016 USA friends should definitely buy pounds ( to spend on UK food/ activities etc ) now. The market is already stabling a bit and the pound is strengthening slightly. I managed to grab a load of dollars this morning whilst the rate was still offered at $1.45/£1 ( i'm the opposite as in UK and visit USA a lot ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merion_Mom Posted June 24, 2016 Author #13 Share Posted June 24, 2016 The euro has suffered a bit, too, if anyone is traveling to Europe soon. I know that *I* have a TA coming up in October. Off to the bank I go! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
