This will probably get a bunch of downvotes since this cruise is going to the US but I think this is great for those looking for an affordable low-stress vacation – ends up being CAD170 per person per night.
Norwegian is having an unadvertised sale on the Encore Oct 12th 6 nights Vancouver repositioning sailing, this cruise ends in LA. Not available on the NCL website and one smaller agent I called but I have found this at Costco Travel and Expedia/Expedia cruises. Cost breakdown is as follows and based on twin sharing, 3rd and 4th guests (ie kids) in a cabin typically just pay the taxes/fees(CAD340) and gratuities (USD20 per night):
Interior Cabin Fare CAD305.66
Taxes and Fees CAD673.04
Gratuities CAD332.56CAD
Cruise Total – CAD1311.26
Airfare for two CAD720 direct or starting at CAD568 one-stop back to YVR
Cruise + Airfare – CAD2031.26 direct or CAD1879.26 one-stop – might be cheaper to stay one night and fly back next day
Travel Agent Provided Incentives:
Expedia Cruises (not Expedia) USD50/CAD70 Onboard Credit
Costco Travel CAD25 Shop Card + 2% Executive Cashback
Optional Extras:
Upgrade to Oceanview – CAD84
Upgrade to Balcony – CAD226
Free at Sea Two Premium Dining Credit Package – CAD112.18 (incl 150minutes wifi)
Free at Sea Drinks Package – CAD479.52 (incl 150minutes wifi)
Free at Sea Drinks + Prem Dining – CAD591.70 (incl 150minutes wifi)
Easiest way to get the Free at Sea packages added on was through the expediacruises.ca website, you just add it in the optional add-ons section when checking out. I did try to call a local office but the rep I spoke to was useless and literally told me to book it online. Not sure if you can get the packages through Costco, there’s some reports online you can add it after booking on the website but probably best to call in. The onboard credit at Expedia Cruises is worth more anyways unless you really want to spend $0 onboard.
Some other points:
- You will board at Canada Place in Vancouver and clear US customs there
- This is a stop in Victoria and an overnight stop in San Francisco
- The base fare includes meals at several locations throughout the ship – buffet, main dining room, casual spots, you will not go hungry
- Kids club (3+), shows and basic activities will be included
