marbleski Posted July 8, 2021 #1 Share Posted July 8, 2021 The Canadian Dollar has strengthened since the shut down. Has the NCL rate dropped from the 1.338 exchange rate offered pre Covid-19. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JillK Posted July 8, 2021 #2 Share Posted July 8, 2021 I just went through the process of price comparison the other day for NCL and ended up booking in USD as I had CruiseNexts in that currency to use up. In looking at the NCL site which only displays Canadian dollars (really should be able to choose like you can on Royal's site) I can't say for certain but based on my calculations (completely unscientific) it appears to be in the neighbourhood of 1.25. In USD their airfare is coming in at $149 and in Canadian it is $186.24. Likewise, their airport transfers are $75 USD but is $93.76 Cdn. Best bet would be to give them a call or start a chat on their website to verify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bookbabe Posted July 8, 2021 #4 Share Posted July 8, 2021 They did have a change in exchange a couple of weeks ago, there was a thread about it at the time. Many of us had our booked cruises repriced to take advantage of the new exchange rate. I saved $1400, which was well worth the call to my PCC. It does take a bit of time calling, though, since the US prices for cruises haven’t changed, I think the PCC has to get approval from a supervisor to do the repricing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be able to confirm the current rate by logging into your upcoming cruise and doIng a mock booking for a $100 usd on-board cruise credit. It should now cost $125 Canadian down from $134 prior to the most recent updated exchange rate . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maplemoose Posted July 9, 2021 #7 Share Posted July 9, 2021 The deposit amount was listed as $325 Cdn. yesterday, which means that the exchange rate would be 1.3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
