So with my being 7 or so months out from my next cruise I've decided to do a small charting project on drink and internet pricing. This will not be perfect, as the website geo-restricts me to CAD. Yes, I could probably use a VPN to work around that, but I'd have to pay in CAD regardless, and it's helpful to see if the exchange has any further effect (good or bad) on pricing.
So starting with today, here's what I see:
Notes:
- Prices are per day
- If you're thinking that exchange rate looks crappy, well it is.
- Royal lists their exchange rate, so that's what I'm using for the calculations
- I calculated USD using CAD * (1/Exchange)
- Retail is the hypothetical cost of the package if there were no discount. So the formula is Price / (1 - discount)
Here's the calculation for Voom Surf+Stream
And here are the combo packages:
- I'm working on how best to show the comparisons between the combo packages and buying drink and voom packages separately. Once I come up with a good way to measure that I'll insert that into the graphics.
If I see the discounts change I'll revisit and add another line so we can compare.
