[gtgeorge]

I just realised that Allure Med Cruise will cost me 25% more!!!!:eek:

When I have booked cruise back in May 2014 the exchange rate dollar to euro was 0.72 now its 0.90!!! That is 25% more witch is almost 2000 euro more for me. I think I am gonna cry now.....:(

Probably not but you can book in your own country. We usually check UK and US prices unless we need flights included in the package.

 

If we book in US$ then it's a gamble.

Exactly.

 

You should be able to book in Euros if booking in an Eu country.not sure where or how you booked, but surprised you got price in dollars. If you are outside final payment date may be well worth looking at repricing in euros.

OK how I do that? When I booked I choose my country witch is Cyprus. Prices were in US dollars. I think you only get prices in euro if you choose Spain, Germany, France or Italy.

Yes final payment is in 2 weeks but even I change now currency in euro it will be the exchange rate of today witch is 25% higher. Right?

Is there a TA near you that can do a mock booking and give you a price in euros?

 

Not sure which part of Cyprus you are in, but I am sure I saw several TA's in Limassol the last time I was there.

 

At least then you can compare the euro price to the dollar price and see which works best.

I booked online through royalcaribbean.ie and paid in euros! I checked the GBP price and it was working out much more expensive for us here in Ireland.

Could you cancel and rebook immediately in EUR? You would loose your deposit but by the sounds of it, it may still be worth it for you. I'd check the EUR price and then decide what you are doing.

Well for us americans, the euro has DROPPED form $1.50 for 1 euro to $1.10 for 1 euro. That makes europe about 20% cheaper than last year!!
