As dollar falls, your cruise costs rise
USA Today’s Gene Sloan says the falling dollar is bad news for your wallet if you’re planning a summertime European cruise. He reports, “Everything from tickets to the Vatican in Rome to that cafe au lait along the waterfront of Cannes, France will cost dollar-toting cruisers more than a year ago. The 14 euro per person ticket to the Vatican, for instance, translates to $21 per person at today’s exchange rate. A year ago, the same 14 euro ticket would have equaled $18.50 per person. In 2001, the same ticket would have set you back just $13 per person.” If there’s an upside here, he says that the cost of the cruise itself won’t change all that much.
