Cruise pricing math
Ok, so we booked the NYC to Halifax cruise through our travel agent that we
have complete trust in for myself, wife, son, daughter and her boyfriend. The price we were given were $540 each for me and my wife and $290 each for daughter, boyfriend and son. On top of that are taxes and port fees at $155 per person. According to my calculator that totals $2725. But my travel agent has somehow come up with a total of $3200. She explained it to my wife but it's still unclear how she arrived at the higher figure. Does anyone understand this before I call the TA tomorrow to explain it to me. This does not include insurance. Thanks Tom |

Sorry, but I agree with the original poster, cause it sounds to me like one
double at $1390 and one triple at $1335. "AWB" wrote in message oups.com... Sounds like you have one triple ($1835) & one double ($1390) cabin and not one cabin for FIVE. The total is actually $3225 and the agent took $25 off the price. You can always ask the "travel agent that we have complete trust in" as well.

Thanks Tom Ask this TA that you "have complete trust in" to fax or email you an itemized invoice, so you can see exactly how everything adds up (or doesn't). Maybe the TA included prepaid gratuities and transfers? How about insurance? Did the TA add that in per chance? Lee |

I did not know that the cruise offered room that sleep 5, but could
wrong. I think he/she must of booked you two rooms instead of one. I would contact the TA and see if that is the case. Michael |

Cruise pricing math
Tom,
Your note doesn't say how many cabins you are booked in, that might well solve the mystery. The higher price would be for the first two people in each cabin, the lower for a third and/or fourth person. So there might have been a misunderstanding during your first communication since we'd all hope that you are in two cabinsG. Please let us all know what you find out when you call!

Thus spake "AWB" :
Sounds like you have one triple ($1835) & one double ($1390) cabin and not one cabin for FIVE. The total is actually $3225 and the agent took $25 off the price. You can always ask the "travel agent that we have complete trust in" as well. I'll be glad to answer that question :-) You're right, that's definitely two cabins. Since you can't get a quint without paying WAY MORE for a "super" suite.

Thank you to all that responded as most of the responses were correct. We
are in two cabins and the price is $540 for the first and second people in each cabin, It was a misunderstanding by my wife and it got more confusing as my wife told me what she thought the prices were. Now we still have the option of getting one room for 4 people and add a rollaway bed. This would save us about $500. We have to decide if the extra bathroom and TV are worth it. I don't think we would be spending that much time in the room anyway. Thanks Tom "Marsha L" wrote in message ...
