reerun25 Posted May 18, 2014 #1 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I was just curious, does any other state other than Florida ever get a special residency rate? Anyone ever had any luck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mississauga Posted May 18, 2014 #2 Share Posted May 18, 2014 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.

thinfool Posted May 18, 2014 #3 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I was just curious, does any other state other than Florida ever get a special residency rate? Anyone ever had any luck? 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imluvncruzn Posted May 18, 2014 #4 Share Posted May 18, 2014 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!

Niquein99 Posted May 18, 2014 #5 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I was just curious, does any other state other than Florida ever get a special residency rate? Anyone ever had any luck?

Funsize0313 Posted May 18, 2014 #9 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Carnival Pride has a residency special for PA residents leaving from Baltimore. I have $400 OBC because of the price change. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reunioncruiser Posted May 18, 2014 #10 Share Posted May 18, 2014 We have matched to an IL rate from Early Saver. And my sister has used a CA rate. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizzanna Posted May 18, 2014 #11 Share Posted May 18, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need-a-vacation Posted May 19, 2014 #17 Share Posted May 19, 2014 We have a western state (AZ) rate for our Baja cruise in a couple weeks. Do they ever ask for proof of residency? Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnival_Brides Posted May 19, 2014 #18 Share Posted May 19, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

honeybunches Posted May 20, 2014 #21 Share Posted May 20, 2014 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reerun25 Posted May 20, 2014 Author #22 Share Posted May 20, 2014 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...

LVDFW Posted May 20, 2014 #23 Share Posted May 20, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjcruiser Posted May 20, 2014 #24 Share Posted May 20, 2014 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.
