Can you buy the cruise ticket through Costco at Florida resident rate?

Thanks for help!

Following...interesting idea! I know we bought Universal Hollywood passes in Colorado at Costco and they were at the California resident rate....

I believe the code for Florida Resident offers is FLR. However, only certain cruises have FLR rates, not all cruises. I haven't booked through Costco so I don't know what their system looks like, but I would think there should be a way to enter the code somewhere. I believe you will need to provide proof of Florida residency to DCL within 48 hours of booking.


ETA: I just played a bit in the www.costcotravel.com site, and it looks like you have to select the cruise, then on the next page where it asks for number of travelers by age, there is also a drop-down box for State Residency Fare. Now, I understand the Costco website doesn't give correct fare until logged in, so you'll have to confirm that. Double-check it against the DCL website.

Enjoy your cruise!

Its not only logging in to get the correct fare. Sometimes you need to call to get the right rate. It will be the same as DCL.

What you can do it call DCL and get the cruise set up with your FL rate, and then transfer the reservation to Costco then pay them the deposit and payments.

If allowed to book with just a deposit, that could work. However, FLR is usually offered after the PIF date, which means it must be paid in full at booking. Once paid in full, a reservation cannot be transferred to a TA. So watch the dates and terms before trying.

I'm not sure if you can do it through the Costco web site, but I know you can do it by calling. I have booked multiple cruises with discounts by calling Costco.

I just logged in to costcotravel.com to see if I could book the FLR rate on the July 9, Fantasy cruise. On the Disney site, this cruise has a FLR discount on verandas. The Costco web site didn't show me the FLR rate even though I selected Florida in the state residency rate box. It did show me a VGT rate. So, it looks like you would have to call to get the FLR rate.
