Military Rate

[CrystalBelle]

I just sent my email with a copy of my ID and my marriage certificate. I am cruising with our 3 children, my husband is not able to come, active duty. The rules state that I as the spouse can get the rate for the cabin. I'm just nervous because the rules are sort of unclear.

 

Has anyone ever cruised without the active duty member and still received the military rate. If so, what exactly did you send to verify your status. They said a copy of my marriage license and military ID but the service rep did not sound too confident in those two items.....

 

Thanks a bunch!

 

oh and Im leaving on the 17th so this is definitely a last minute thing!!

ELIGIBLE PERSONNEL

 

The military promotion is available to the following members of the United States Military and Canadian Department of National Defense:

 

* Active Personnel

 

* Spouses of active Military personnel called to active duty or stationed overseas will be eligible to book one

 

cabin as long as the eligible spouse is occupying this cabin. The spouse must provide proof of eligibility by

 

submitting a copy of the official military orders and/or duties documentation and proof of marriage.

I read that but it is so confusing. She also said on the phone that my military ID would work with a marriage license. and it doesn't say that there. maybe I should just get him to get his orders too?

 

but its hard to get ahold of him.

I would have

 

marriage license

LES

military ID

and orders on hand for deployment/PCS etc - can never trust the operators you will have 1 out of 10 know what they are talking about.

 

With all of them you will get your room.

You're in Pensecola - Navy? IF he's deployed, you should have a POA. Also the ombudsman can assist if needed.

Can widows of military veterans get the discount?

[Joyride37]

If your husband is on AD and is currently deployed he should have orders, as deployment isnt TDY. If you have your ID, marriage certificate and your spouses orders you should have plenty of proof..

 

Good luck

Yes and I have for years

Can widows of military veterans get the discount?

 

Yes, I have used the military rate many times. You will need to submit a copy of your spouse's DD214.

You would need a copy of his DD214. I also believe you cannot have remarried (personnel who were married to service members and then remarry lose the military privileges unless they marry another service member.....same as in a divorce).
