jheg-why do they screw european customers?surely thats discrimimation based on residency and therefore violates trade laws??Theres a serious difference in price.Unfortunately theres no other decent cruises around that time so Im seriously tempted to tick the US resident box and plough on with the booking.Could they turn me away at port check in?
But my plan would be to use my brothers address for any correspondence but use my own passport to make the booking,so it wouldnt be a wrong passport.Surely they cant stop you from boarding if you're not a US/Canadian national?
I booked a Royal Carribean Alaskan cruise last year through the US travel agency below. They were extremely helpful and their price was better value than Irish agents and even Royal Carribean direct internet booking. There were no issues about country of residence while booking. I was invoiced in Dollars at the time and the exchange rate was quite favorable so that helped as well.

I checked a cruise that I booked on the royal carribean site that was €1500 and same cruise , same cabin , same date was $2,000 not including government fees, taxes. I don't see any great savings for all the potential hassle of doing this.
They would have no legal right to demand production of a green card. They are not the US government.
I have booked flights and other services in the past by using a friends address in the US as the prices for Europeans was vastly inflated. Never had a problem.

That is none of the TSA's concern. That is between the OP and the cruise line.Port security is handled by the TSA , and there is immigration officials at the port checking passports.
They may have an issue with anyone ticking the box as a US resident who doesn't have a green card.
A credit card issued here will work the same as any US based card. Again it is none of anyone's concern.There is no cash onboard so the fact that you don't have a dollar credit card, but you have a supposed us address is going to ring alarm bells. How do you even pay for your cruise add ons online ? You won't get any hassle getting off as you only have to show your passport, it's getting on is where the problems may arise.
