D2D vs P2P pricing

[ak1004]

Just checked few random Mediterranean itineraries:

 

 

And for D2D, air credit of $1,150 CAD is offered, so it actually becomes cheaper than P2P. Anyone can explain this phenomenon?

This makes no sense at all to me. I wonder if it is an error.

Thanks for highlighting this. I booked on the Spirit today because of this!

So it isn’t an error? They honoured those prices? The D2D are great prices!

For Canadians, the D2D prices are a steal since the CAD price = USD price.

The TA found the same pricing as you indicated, and placed a booking for me.

Much larger differential on the US site for those voyages.

Can you please advise what's the prices in USD for the May 6 cruise for the cheapest category (Vista)?

I'm wondering if this could be some kind of glitch? But I assume once the booking is done, they cannot change the price?

I assume that somewhere in their terms and conditions is a provision to correct errors.

Once the deposit is paid, the cruise company cannot retrospectively change your price.   Of course they might try, but if it became too too much of a legal war, they should refund the entire deposit.  Different countries would also have their own consumer rights to not allow retrospective price hikes.

Just checked the latest C$ prices. The 1st example Venice to Rome is now listed as DTD $9200, PTP $6950. Maybe it was an error that has now been corrected.

Yep! We were able to book at $6,700 CAD. It went to $8,400 CAD a week later (which matched $6,700  USD on the US website), and on March 1st it went to $9,200 CAD.

So, ak1004, just wondering if this turned out to be a mistake on the part of Silversea, which they honoured, or did they try to get you to pay the higher price?

So  wondering if this turned out to be a mistake on the part of Silversea that they honoured or did they try to get you to pay the higher price?

Well, we have the booking at $6,700 CAD. I assume this is the price.. It's $10,900 CAD now..

 

I still don't know if it was a mistake, or from time to time they have those promotions of Canadian dollar at par.. I have seen it couple more times since then.
