It stops me because I need an address in U.K. Do I need a TA or should I just do it through website.

It’s the 14 night that comes out on July 20 2024. I wanted a standard balcony but I would need two because of my bigger family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovelocomoco Posted May 16, 2023 Author #35 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Yeah right now I just signed into the U.K. one and It looks like if I sign in with my account, it takes me to the US website. 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it won't if you create yourself as a second person with two Captain's Circle accounts. Each will have two unique home addresses, but you are going to have the same name and birthdate in each. I am not sure trying to beat the system is going to work without legit ties in both countries, but give it a whirl if so inclined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once onboard you could get the credit added by visiting the captain circle desk, but as its being booked you will be a new cruiser. I did it for years.

Lovelocomoco Posted May 18, 2023 Author #41 Share Posted May 18, 2023 I’ve contacted different U.K. TA’s. Won’t they notice when I jump on cruise that it is an address that I don’t live in?

Nicole&Pete Posted May 19, 2023 #50 Share Posted May 19, 2023 On 5/16/2023 at 3:57 AM, Lovelocomoco said: Hi i’m new to this website. I wanted to go on a cruise next summer to Europe on a princess cruise that comes out of Southampton. When I turned my vpn on to the U.K. just to investigate, I noticed a huge difference in price. The price was 30% cheaper than the price in the US. I tried to get that price but I need an address in the U.K. Has anyone tried this? Has anyone gotten caught? I’m from the UK and always check the price between booking with a UK agent versus US. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
