Does Princess ever offer discounts if you work for the police department?

No type of public safety discounts...only military OBC.

No discounts period just the OBC as stated in the post prior to mine.:(

No, but Princess allows TAs to discount cruise fares. You can almost always save 10-20% using a TA who books a lot of Princess cruises and discounts.

At one time the OBC was for military and first responders. Then somewhere along the line they changed it. I think it sucks imho. But thank you for your service as well. My hopes are that you are not only a police officer but a vet as well and can get the OBC, every little bit of extra spending money helps :-)

There is no obc for police, just miltary. The only other way I know of to get the credit is to be a Carnival (who own Princess) shareholder. 100 shares gets you the same obc as military.

I don't ever recall this with Princess.

 

I know its on some other lines.

It's not something I have ever seen advertised but have been told by several cruisers that they are getting it. Try calling Princess and asking?

 

Cheers

I agree & have received the military OBC since it was started 5 years ago (heard about it on CC before it was even officially announced as a Veteran's Day promotion) and since its inception have never read anywhere about it applying to police & first responders.

 

I saw that RCI had an option for a police cruise fare discount however it was minimal & other discounted rates were better. So they had a discount but even if eligible it was useless.

 

I think that Princess has been very generous to give military veterans OBC & I am very thankful for Princess' generosity. It's possible to get a great cruise fare and to still receive the MOBC which is combinable with other types of OBC unlike on RCI.

My Police Officer son has cruised on RCI many times - because they had a Police Discount. He lives in Florida, so maybe he can take advantage of a sale and the discount, but RCI is the first place he and his wife look because of that discount. He loves cruising but has never been on Princess.

 

As for Princess, my Platinum Member widowed mother (dad was retired after 27 years and died, resulting from a VA determined Service outcome), who lives in an Air Force Retirement community, called once to see if their discount is only for the Active/Retired, not the dependent. It is, but the gentleman she talked to at Princess was very nice acknowledging my mothers "Contribution" to our nation. She was so pleased with the respect he gave her on the phone call, everybody at the community heard about.

My point is sometimes a little discount can go a long way in the perception of a company.

Thank you all. I'm happy with the price we got for being past passengers and going through a TA that gave me a lower price than the Princess site.
