That's starting at $3,659 (CAD) for 506-590 sq. ft. And here's the delightful markup if purchasing exactly the same room on exactly that same cruise through Der Rebel (price in American dollars, and assuming double occupancy to be generous):
which, at today's exchange rate of 1.382, works out to an almost double $6,625.30 (CAD). (Weirdly, the Rebel-provided room is clearly smaller, listed as 465 sq. ft, whereas the far cheaper Holland America selection starts at 506 sq. ft. You are, apparently, paying almost double the standard Holland America rate for a smaller room so, yeah, have fun with that.
P.S. The typical rationale for the premium price is that you will have the opportunity to hob-nob with at least moderately interesting and accomplished people; sadly, here's your selection of premium talent for the whole seven days:
When David "The Menses" Menzies is one of your announced A-listers, you are in deep fucking trouble.
AFTERSNARK: I have to admit, I have no idea why Tamara Lich would represent any sort of draw that would justify paying way above standard price to hang out with her. Despite being described as a co-organizer of the Freedumb Convoy, what exactly would she have to say that would captivate a listening audience for an extended period of time?
I'm being serious ... once you get past the "I was there, I yelled 'Hold the Line', I got arrested" ... where would the conversation go from there? How many times can you yell "Freedom!" before even your own supporters finally say, "Yeah, yeah, freedom, we get it, give it a fucking rest already. Where's the bar?"

Is anyone planning on warning Holland America about the hate group they're going to accommodate? Public pressure has cancelled previous cruises of theirs, can we do the same thing again?
Cancel them? What the hell for? Send the unhinged unvaxxed on a floating petri dish for a week!
"Featuring" Tamara Lich as their lead (and so far only) guest speaker is yet another sign of how far the Rebel has fallen. Previous Rebel Excursions at least had some interesting exotic speakers - Daniel Pipes, Proud Boy Gavin McInnis, Faith "Ilse" Goldy, Milo Yiannopoulos. This time around the best he can do is the dregs of his own staff.
As for your fictitious cruiser trying to flee more banality from Tamara Lich and asking "Where's the Bar?", the response, of course, is "Ask Menzies."
Isn't there something extra precious about a bunch of Rebel readers who can afford to pay DOUBLE the regular luxury cruise rates, gathering to hear millionaire Ezra Levant rage about the need to "reclaim your freedom" from "The Elites"?
Anyone willing to spend several thousand to listen to Ezra and the Ezrettes for a week needs to shut the fuck up about how tough things are financially in "Justin Trudeau's Canada."
