cruiser20145 Posted August 31, 2018 #1 Share Posted August 31, 2018 We have a family member sailing with us who is an ex-cop. If we book together, can we get the discount as well, even if we have two cabins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dixieva Posted August 31, 2018 #2 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Is this discount being offered on your cruise ? I haven't seen any of these discounts offered on any of my cruises in a few years. No senior discount either. When I used to get a senior discount once in a while it was only on my stateroom not on other rooms my friends booked.

If they offered a senior discount, almost all of us would get it and then it would just be the price. JB :D:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken at the beach Posted August 31, 2018 #6 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I just compared, no discount with senior and police "discount!" Unreal! Why unreal? They don’t offer discounts on every cruise. They use discounts to help fill ships where they are needing to fill cabins. If cabins are selling then no discounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dswallow Posted August 31, 2018 #7 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I suppose a senior discount is somewhat silly from the demographics, but I'd be just fine with a child surcharge. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we book together, can we get the discount as well, even if we have two cabins? Why would a cop or ex-cop get a discount? I'm not being snarky ... I am curious why that would be.

Ken at the beach Posted August 31, 2018 #14 Share Posted August 31, 2018 There may be others but I’m only familiar with one cruiseline that offers a military discount on every cruise. That’s a true discount and it shows appreciation for those that served. All the other discounts are simply ways for the cruiseline to demographically isolate customers. They do this so that may selectively offer discounts to a certain number of potential passengers to help fill ships without having to worry about large numbers of people calling in for price drops.

On the RC page https://secure.royalcaribbean.com/cruises/ chose more filters to find cruises with Police /Fire discounts https://www.royalcaribbean.com/faq/questions/qualifications-special-pricing To qualify for a police/fire department rate, an individual must qualify under the following: At least one guest in the stateroom must be an active or retired employee or volunteer of a local or state law enforcement agency, fire department or Emergency Medical Services unit in the United States or Canada. Qualified guests must present valid proof of employment (badge or ID) plus a second form of identification when boarding the ship. The offer is not valid where restricted by applicable law. All guests traveling in the same stateroom are eligible to receive the police/fire rate. No additional staterooms, other than the one that is occupied by the qualified person is eligible for the police/fire rate. Spouses, parents, in-laws, children or other family members or friends are not eligible for the rate without the eligible person occupying the stateroom.

Selecting the appropriate discount still returns all cruises and you have no way of knowing which ones have had any discount applied to them. Also quite often the discount may only be on one specific category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JB :D:D:D They do ask if you are a senior when you are picking your cruise I did a BOGO a few weeks ago and the net discount was close to 33% off the total, not 25% but the invoice just shows BOGO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For drill I just tired the cruise I am and with the "labor Day sale and Police Discount and BOGO its a $500 price increase from yesterday when I was checking to see if the price had gone down.

Would show a code listed on your invoice like "Senior Disc". I got 3-4 Military ones last year and is listed as "Military Disc" showing amount off which I got $511.50 off that sailing. My recent sailing shows following discounts applied: Single Special, CAS Balc Suite, BOGO50 & Military Disc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ltjn Posted September 1, 2018 #25 Share Posted September 1, 2018 I have say, We have been cruising on Royal Caribbean since 2002 the only discount we have received is New York residents, and of course the balcony discount for being a diamond/diamond plus member. Even thought I would qualify for military or police discount. Those discounts are few and far between for any of the cruises we have booked. The only cruise line we have used that offers a discount or onboard credit is Princess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
