I did get the 10% military discount and like KSS2013 stated you get an invitation for the veterans gathering. The gathering was an informal event that had drinks and snacks. My wife and I (both veterans) enjoyed talking with other brothers and sisters of the armed forces. Also, NCL asked if anyone wanted to discuss their experiences. We would see some of the group around the ship and give a small salute to each other. We will go to the gathering on our next cruise in March.
