Cunard military benefits change for UK

[zider]

I have been reading that there has been a change to the Military benefits for UK cruisers, Below is a Copy & past from Cunard's uk site. I expect that the U.S. Site has something similar.

 

Do you offer military benefits?

 

Yes, military benefits are applicable to UK citizens only.

 

We are pleased to offer on board credit to serving military, retired military and disabled military veterans for bookings made on the Cunard Fare or Early Saver Fares.*

 

We can offer this benefit to serving personnel currently serving in the following service divisions: British Army, Royal Navy, Royal Air Force or Reserves.

 

Please make sure you take the below with you on board your cruise:

•Identification for serving personnel official military ID card.

•Proof of service issued by the MOD for retired personnel (there is a specific document retired personnel can obtain from the MOD for this purpose).

 

The amount of on board credit per person, is applicable for the 1st and 2nd passengers only and depends on the duration of the cruise:

 

2-6 nights - US$25 per person

 

7-13 nights - US$50 per person

 

14-21 nights - US$125 per person

 

22 nights+ - US$200 per person

 

Please note the latest this benefit can be applied is 7 days before departure and it is not possible to apply the Military benefit once you are on board.

 

*Late Saver or other promotional fares are not combinable.

I can not access the Link that's why I copied & pasted mine as those in the US will not be able to access the UK site either.

Thank you, That is the same as we in the UK used to get. It would not surprise me that in the near future Cunard will also be changing to offer on the US site as well.
