Is is possible to check for residency discounts while overseas?

So right now I'm in Japan, however I'm a Wisconsin resident. When I first booked my cruise and then started watching for price drops/discounts I was able to put in my State to check for discounts. However, now the system can tell, I suppose from my IP address that I'm in Japan and it doesn't offer a "choose your state" option anymore. :mad: It's just gone. And, in various places it lists a Japan contact for more information. I just want to be able to check once a day for discounts, but there's no way I'm going to call everyday to check! Anyone know a way for me to get my "choose a state" option back? It's a long shot, I know, but I thought I'd ask! Thanks!

On the main RCCL page there should be something at the bottom of the page reading like "Not from Japan". Click on that one and choose US. YOu should be able to access the site from then on like being in the US.

Thank you sooo much, madforcruising!!! :) I had bookmarked the page for searching for a cruise, so hadn't been to the main page in ages. I'm so glad there was such an easy solution! CC is so great - thanks for the help!

You are welcome. I use this all the time as well as I´m from Germany and though residency rates are not an issue for me the german setting won´t show prices at all, but always guides to a message to contact a TA.

Good luck in finding a price drop:)
