10-DAY MEDITERRANEAN ENCHANTMENT

Per Cruise Compete (Crown Cruise Vacations) - $2,882.14 + $100 OBC USD (Category K) or about $3,000 CDN net.
Per Holland America - $4,031.40 CDN (Category K) (Excls. $427.20 in transfers so we are comparing apples to apples)
That works out to a difference of $1,000.
I guess when doing my comparisons earlier, I must have included the transfers in the Holland America pricing. A 25% discount is still pretty good.
I don't normally do this on FT, but what the heck.
There is a little bit of rebating/discounting in that quote.
The rates I show (we have group space on that sailing) for the Category K is USD $1499 plus $90.75 in taxes for a total of $1589.75 per person. There is OBC offered at $75 per person.
So yes, rates vary wildly.
