Residency rates, any luck?

[reerun25]

I was just curious, does any other state other than Florida ever get a special residency rate? Anyone ever had any luck?

Yes, last year or maybe even the year before, we got a residency rate for Ontario, Canada. I believe it was for more than just our province. Made a difference of about $60 pp.:D

 

Have read in the past that other states also get it. It was posted by someone complaining that a resident from a state other than theirs got it but they didn't.

Sure. I live in Kentucky and see those rates fairly often. However, if I was booking a Carnival cruise more than 5 months away, I would book Early Saver.

 

That way, if you saw a Resident rate that was lower than the ES you paid, Carnival would match it and give you the difference.

We are booked Early Saver for our cruise next week and have received $520 in OBC due to

Price drops that came from price matching to the resident rate for NY!

Yep, I just booked another cruise on the Breeze using a Georgia residency rate. :)

Wow, I had no idea.. I will keep my eyes open for a SC rate to hopefully come up!

I've booked under resident rates living in NC, GA and CA.

We have gotten a Canadian residency rate before.

Carnival Pride has a residency special for PA residents leaving from Baltimore. I have $400 OBC because of the price change. :D

[Reunioncruiser]

We have matched to an IL rate from Early Saver. And my sister has used a CA rate.

Never for New Mexico, I don't think Carnival knows we exist! I see them all the time for all the states that surround New Mexico (TX, AZ, CO), but never NM.

That is what I am thinking about SC.. I have seen NC, FL, and GA, but no SC...

We have gotten an IL Resident Rate almost every cruise.

We have a western state (AZ) rate for our Baja cruise in a couple weeks. Do they ever ask for proof of residency?

I've gotten resident rates when I lived in New Hampshire and Maryland. While Floridians tend to get a lot of rates for Florida ships, I've had a hard time finding Maryland res. rates for the Pride.

I occasionally see special rates for Michigan, though I've never booked using it.

I have gotten the TN resident rate on two cruises out of New Orleans.

OK, I have to ask......where does it give you the resident rate? I have my state checked but I wouldn't know where to look. :eek:

If your state has a promo going on, it will show up in the rates list when using the fare checker. It would have Past Guest (if you have that checked), ES, residency rate, and any other promos going on. If you don't see it, then there is not a promo for your state...

Last year I booked a balcony Texas resident rate. (Didn't know about ES at the time)

 

Triumph happened, prices crashed, and I got a suite upgrade for $100.

[sjcruiser]

I've never received a good residency rate for a cruise leaving out of Florida, but most of the cruises for NY or Baltimore, I get a good rate for living in NJ, especially when its booked 6 months or sooner from sailing.

I'm in Virginia and got a residency rate for my Breeze cruise this past January.
