Cruise Planner Exchange Rate

[JillK]

Does anyone know if you have paid in a currency other than USD, if the prices in the Cruise Planner are locked in at the exchange rate at time of booking or if it is variable monthly depending on the prevailing rate? 

 

In the past when I booked a Royal cruise in Canadian dollars, my cruise planner exchange rate was locked in at the rate at the time I booked. In that case it worked to my advantage as the Loonie lost a lot of ground between the time of booking and cruising so we were able to realize that savings. 

 

As it stands the exchange has slightly improved since booking and I'm curious if I should just look at buying any time between final payment and cruising (assuming the rate is locked in so it doesn't matter when I book) or waiting to see how the dollar performs if the rate is variable.

 

This is my first time booking with NCL in Canadian dollars and I didn't write down prices in the planner I was seeing when I first booked so can't compare to be sure.
