xcell Posted November 7, 2021 #1 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Long time ago, NCL only showed their prices in USD but that changed in 2016 (I think). I was looking for cruises and now it's back to USD only, or is it just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fouremco Posted November 7, 2021 #2 Share Posted November 7, 2021 It's the Canadian website, not you. I don't have an NCL account, so I don't know whether or not it will change to CAD when you log in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WESTEAST Posted November 7, 2021 #3 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Not sure if you are referring to ncl.com or lines under nclh.com? Was on the Oceania website and in my O account and all show CAD funds. Could be a temporary glitch, shut down and try again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xcell Posted November 7, 2021 Author #4 Share Posted November 7, 2021 When I go to NCL it says: "https://www.ncl.com/ca/en/" so I know I'm on the Canadian side I even log into my account but everything is in USD. I guess soon they will take over everything... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if this is a deliberate, new normal -- or a glitch. I often like to book in USD but I also like knowing what the same product is going for in CDN -- and they're not always equivalent (even with the credit card currency conversion rate factored in).

In my case, I thought that I'd use my VPN to check a European site, and it was quoting €. So it definitely isn't an NCL-wide push on USD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K2G Posted November 8, 2021 #8 Share Posted November 8, 2021 I'm having the same problem booking a cruise and comparing prices but when I log in my existing reservation is still in Canadian dollars. Strange. I hope it's not a permanent change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendycook22 Posted November 9, 2021 #9 Share Posted November 9, 2021 This post makes me feel better. I thought it was just me when on their site yesterday. I couldn’t get to CAD pricing no matter what I tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fouremco Posted November 9, 2021 #10 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Just checked, and we're back to CAD pricing! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poffles Posted November 10, 2021 #13 Share Posted November 10, 2021 I just tried and it's showing CAD for me, maybe they 'fixed' it overnight. It was same using the link you used above and with me going to the site via my own path. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BatchawanaBabe Posted November 13, 2021 #14 Share Posted November 13, 2021 I've been on several Norwegian cruises and since I'm a snowbird with an American bank account and corresponding US$ Visa, usually pay with that rather than my Canadian Visa. Also my foreign exchange fees are discounted since I'm a bank retiree so it's cheaper to pay in US funds. Yet, every time I pull up Norwegian's website and then my account, any cruise I search for comes up in Canadian dollars. However, my account summary is in US$'s because that's the currency I pay my cruises in! When I mentioned this to my Norwegian personal cruise consultant, he said it's because I'm in Canada and that it would show in US dollars when I'm down there. I'll definitely check that out! Right now, even when I'm on my US cell phone through T Mobile with the VPN on, it comes up in Canadian. This makes it frustrating to compare prices with other cruise sites other than Vacations to Go which can be switched to Canadian dollars but their exchange rate might not be very favourable. I'm just trying to use up future cruise credits which I will never do again. I need two more cruises on a balcony for a minimum of 7 days. I'm finding it very difficult to find an itinerary that I'm interested in and would love to check cruises on other cruise lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
