Canadian Exchange Rate

After more than 2 hours on the phone and talking to 3 different people at NCL I finally know how they reached the price on my recent booking. It definitely should not be so difficult. The exchange rate is now 33.3%!! The only break is they give you 10% off the base fare only before adding the 33.3%.

 

 

 

Example of US Fare for 2 Guests

 

 

Fare 2,000.00

Tax, Fees 362.24

Bev SC 230.40

Ttl 2,592.64

 

 

Less 10% base fare

US

Fare 1,800.00

Tax, Fees 362.24

Bev SC 230.40

Ttl 2,392.64

 

Total X 33%= $3,189.39

 

Americans pay $$2,592.64 - Canadians pay $596.75 extra

 

The main reason I "jumped ship" to NCL was that they gave Canadians a break.

Yes, unfortunately that's the conclusion we reached a few days ago on a thread here. It would appear the 10% is the only discount available to us now. I agree, it shouldn't be so difficult to figure out what the rate is, most NCL reps are incorrectly claiming the exchange rate is 25%. Lots of discussion about this on previous threads if you want to read those :)

Thanks Josher61. It was so simple to figure out before. Glad I have four booked previous to this but I'm afraid this may be the last.
