Not to purposely sound green, but what is the 55+ discount and how do we old guys get it? We booked through Resorts Corporation international with a pretty good deal overall, but I don't recall a 55+ discount...:confused:

[bob278]

That is a discount on some ships, some dates and some cabin categories. The easiest way to find them is to click on the Advanced Search link under the "Find a Cruise" section on the Royal website. Click on 55+ if anyone in the cabin is 55 years old or over.

 

Click on the US Military or Canadian Forces if anyone in the cabins is:

 

• On active duty in the military
  
• Retired from the military
  
• Honorably discharged with at least 2 years of service (or 6 months in combat)
  
• Spouses are also eligible in some cases without the military member being on the cruise
  

And, finally, click on the State or Province you live in.

 

The deals for one of these categories show up (and disappear) from cruises almost daily. Once you see one, contact RCL or your TA to book it. If you are booked and the deal price is lower, contact them to take advantage (if final payment has passed, it's too late).

On the Departure Information page of the Celebrity site there are some questions. Question #4 has a box to click for 55+ and a drop down menu for residence. You tick the appropriate boxes and if Celebrity has special rates for seniors or resident specials, you get that rate. Always do that. If you don't, you will only get the posted rate. HTH. Yes, we old fogies need all the help we can get.:D

[biker1972]

Senior rates are used to help fill cruises that are not booking very well. Generally they will not appear until after final payment is due. Be aware that if thet appear after final payment and you booked earlier, you most likely will NOT qualify for the lower rate. If these rates appear before final payment you can get the lower rate.
