agnesd Posted December 8, 2017 #1 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Just a reminder for those who aren't aware of this 10% discount. Its for anyone who served in the military. Do not have to be active. Proof is all you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nat9511 Posted December 8, 2017 #2 Share Posted December 8, 2017 MSC also offers a firefighters discount for active and retired personnel. They will extend the discount to family members also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyVol1 Posted December 8, 2017 #3 Share Posted December 8, 2017 And by extending the discount to family members, that means if you’re on the same cruise but in a different cabin you still get the discount. I’m even more thankful my sister was in the Air Force!!! Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot Posted December 8, 2017 #4 Share Posted December 8, 2017 How does one go about obtaining said discount? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhea98 Posted December 8, 2017 #5 Share Posted December 8, 2017 How does one go about obtaining said discount?Call. You will need documented proof (DD214 for vets). AFAIK, having booked both inside and balcony, the 10% is only for balcony and above. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pluto_fan Posted December 8, 2017 #6 Share Posted December 8, 2017 https://www.msccruisesusa.com/en-us/Cruise-Deals/Military-Discount-Rates.aspx According to their webiste, 5% discount for inside and ocean view. Not combinable with the MSC Voyagers Club discount, so check to see which is better for you. The website also says it applies to active duty and retired; interesting to hear that others have received the discount as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser123! Posted December 8, 2017 #7 Share Posted December 8, 2017 MSC also offers a firefighters discount for active and retired personnel. They will extend the discount to family members also. Police too? All 3 of my brother-in-laws are active State Patrol. Would we qualify for a discount? If so, how do we prove it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pluto_fan Posted December 8, 2017 #8 Share Posted December 8, 2017 https://www.msccruisesusa.com/en-us/Cruise-Deals/Government-Employee-Discounts.aspx Yes, police are included in the government employee/civil servant category. I guess you'd have to ask MSC or your travel agent what kind of documentation they want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfrog Posted December 8, 2017 #9 Share Posted December 8, 2017 It seems that these discounts are only for US travellers. Why is there not a similar scheme for European and United Kingdom passengers? Or is there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve gotten it on previous cruises...but yesterday I booked a family cruise...6 cabins so far....and they honored the 10% off all balcony cabins....5% off inside. I just provided a copy of my retirement letter from the State. They put it in the system and don’t have to provide each time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarolnLarry Posted December 10, 2017 #12 Share Posted December 10, 2017 I have gotten 10% on all our MSC cruises as the Travel Agent provides the info she has on file from when I used it on Princess. Has to be provided each cruise. Just saved a ton of money on our 21 Day cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot Posted December 10, 2017 #13 Share Posted December 10, 2017 I called yesterday and spoke to a nice service rep. She sent me an email, I attached photos of my DD214s and sent it back... BAM! In an hour I had a 10% discount on my Yacht Club booking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCMtnBoys Posted December 17, 2017 #16 Share Posted December 17, 2017 I'm an active County employee and got the 10% discount on a past Divina cruise, and our upcoming Seaside cruise. Grateful for the savings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
