I typically find that cruises from Southampton are cheaper with the UK agent and others are cheaper US, but depends on exchange rate etc. I have had no problem booking with a US agent, but sometimes the price can increase for me a tiny bit due to my UK address but nothing like what I would have paid through a UK agent. It’s always worth asking the question. Did you use a random address in the US? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you do it? Just use 10 Downing Street, London. They will never suspect a thing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think i’m going to have to make a new account. Will I lose any of my member benefits? Will this not count as my second cruise? So you want both a new account to get cheaper rates by pretending to live in a different country, but at the same time want the benefits from your old account? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warren buffet Posted May 20, 2023 #67 Share Posted May 20, 2023 On 5/16/2023 at 1:55 PM, startedwithamouse said: Absolutely not. It's just like Florida or California resident deals. How is that unethical? They're getting LOCALS to cruise. i've lived in florida and california. i have never seen resident deals in those places to be any larger than 10 percent off. and they count like 5 other states plus canada as residents for calif and not too different for florida. the definition of resident is very very loose for ccl for US cruises.

LN1Casey Posted May 20, 2023 #68 Share Posted May 20, 2023 My husband is from the UK, new to sailing, and I've just recently booked a cruise for us using my account (which has sailed before). He tried to register as being from the UK, but for some reason it kept defaulting to US residency. Perhaps because I added him as my passenger on our cruise? IDK.

He was creating his account on Princess, and it wouldn't let him register as from the UK, only offering US. We're going back to the UK in August, so we'll try again there.
