Lock in dollars or keep the contract in Euros???

If the price is $2600 euros that is about $3380 for an 11 day trip + airfare.

THAT is the 20 million dollar question?

Anyone have an answer????

Euros exchange rate to $$ will fluctuate. Today 2600 Euros = $3,175.61 according to the Currency Converter I am using. That's a big difference in price from $3389. Shouldn't the price have an exact dollar amount?
So this trip cost includes the air travel? We wouldn't need to buy that separately nor use air miles?

Kerry our trip was locked into a price when we set up the contract...who knew the euro would be weaker than the dollar...it was the other way around when I booked the trip. I am putting the finishing touches on the air contracts and will have this trip open for booking VERY soon! We will need 10 people to do the air contract (although they only have to do one leg of it to count) but I'll have all those details posted very soon. Hopefully you'll be able to join us regardless... kamala

Could you put me down for advanced notice.
Is there a locked in amount for dollars? Exchange rate today is $3,175.61, according to my converter. Euro exchange rate will keep fluctuating.
Does + air mean we buy our own air, this is the price for just the boat?
Is everyone on their own in finding their way to the boat?

The price quoted over a year ago is closer to the rate we locked in at. I will post the actual trip price later today along with the air contract pricing. And yes $$$+Air means the air in not included and you need to add it to that price. The price is for a 10 day all inclusive very luxurious liveaboard.

We'll get you on the notify list...

Interested. When will this be officially posted. Did I miss the post? I have another friend who is doing a trip there in 2014. But I would really like to go sooner.....

[WreckWench]

No I'm in Key West leading two back to back Atocha trips and trying to find enough hours in the day to do all my work and dive and entertain as well as keep everyone on schedule. Oh yeah...and sleep a little too which I'm heading to do as I've hurt my back and its killing me. I have taken some meds which are making me very sleepy so will try to get a fresh start in the AM and have the pricing and air quotes posted as well. Then I fill in the detail blanks and the trip is open for booking. kamala

Hello there!

I am brand new to the group, but certainly interested in the Maldives trip in 2012 if there is availability.
Would also be interested in any potential discounts in airfare/air quotes with the group booking.

Cheers!

Hi Kara! Welcome to SingleDivers!

I hope you are meaning our trip in 2013. I have put you on the notification list so you'll receive word on when it opens for booking. When the trip is posted, it will have details of any and all discounts that are available.

I'm going to have to take myself of the interested list. No February vacation for me for at least 3 years, evaluations at work. I guess I will have to find another way to check Maldives of my bucket list. And I won't be able to do the Truk trip either. It's a conspiracy, I don't think work wants me having any fun.

Bummer Mike....guess we need to offer one or both during ANOTHER month...

[Going Postal]

That would work be great!

[rhodyrx99]

Oh yes I did mean 2013
