If you can inject cruising into it, even better.

I'll start it off here:

You just need to apply to get it.

Today I received a message from Cunard in appreciation for military on Memorial Day.  Cunard is offering 

the same OBC as Princess.  Does anyone know if this is a permanent change in policy to align with the Princess 

military offer?
And coincidentally,  I now see Princess and Cunard offices at the same address in California.  In speaking to representatives 

there, they refer to themselves as Princess/Cunard.  I know that the two are both under the Carnival Corp. umbrella.

I'm wondering if this is a result of the virus and is temporary and if the OBC is a new realignment in military OBC programs.
Can anyone shed light on this?

My husband is active duty military and we are scheduled to cruise on NCL for a transatlantic cruise mid-April going to Portugal, Spain, France and Italy.  New rules handed down from the DOD suspend travel for us for 60 days to countries with a COVID level 3 designation.  We have trip insurance the Travel Guard.  With the high call volume, it is almost impossible to get through though.  

Any advice on how to proceed?  What will the insurance company need as proof?

1.  Paying for the entire cruise with our Costco Visa card which has some travel insurance in the event we have to cancel for illness, etc prior to cruise.

2.  Once on the ship, I'll have Tricare Select (the old Standard).  Granted I may have to pay upfront but can file a claim once I get back off the cruise for medical treatment on the ship if needed. 

3.  Also, once at our destination in Europe, then I can still use same process as #2

4.  In addition, we have a Tricare supplement policy, for anything that Tricare doesn't cover i.e Tricare only covers 75% so our supplement covers the remaining 25%).

Opinions?  Just trying to figure out whether we actually need the additional travel insurance.  Granted it isn't a huge amount, but less I pay for insurance is more for us to spend on board. 

Thanks in advance.

I attended a gathering on my last cruise, Celebrity Reflection, 12/7/16.

It was a good get together, the captain and the cruise director attended along with a minister who who said a very nice prayer, there were complimentary beverages and snacks available and it was very nice and good opportunity to meet other vets, even from other countries and all services. 

Just sayin.  😀😀

Is the base on Oahu easy to get onto? Also is there anything on base that is better than other things to do on the island. Or should we not bother? I’m 90% sure we are going to rent a car.

I know Pearl Harbor is it’s own thing with the public & I'm really looking forward to visiting.

I guess I’m just looking for any general tips regarding this base & island. ☺️

My lady and I are cruising out of San Diego early next year. Neither of us is wild about flying, so we're going to be driving from SE USA to San Diego and return. We're looking at two options, neither of which include flying. We're considering towing a small travel trailer to reduce the cross-country travel costs. The challenge here: what to do with the rig while we cruise. "The rig" is a Chevrolet Silverado 1500, crew cab with full-size bed (8' x 4'); trailer is 20 feet from hitch to bumper, so total length is approx 40'. Our best case scenario is parking the entire rig while still hitched; second-best is being able to park side-by-side. Free parking would be best; low-cost would be second-best. Of course, safety and security are huge considerations.

The second option is to make the cross-country trip in our car--a 2007 Impala--and find a nice, secure Park-n-Cruise hotel with transportation to the cruise port. We've found facilities in both Miami and Tampa where we were able to park at no cost, other than the cost of spending a night at the hotel before we left.

If anybody has any thoughts, I'd like to hear them. Thanks in advance.

I was wondering which cruise lines offer discounts, or anything for active members of the British Armed Forces, I have tried to contact some companies but got nothing back?

I will be returning from my deployment in Afghanistan in late November and was hoping to book a cruise for that period.

The only one I have been able to find has been Princess cruises, but surely there has to be more than just ONE?? Are the UK Forces not appreciated as much as the US/Canadian forces? ;)
