lighthousedeb Posted April 2, 2019 #1 Share Posted April 2, 2019 (edited) Why does the over 55 discount not apply on the new rates ( buy one get second half off). In the fine print it says it does, but online it doesn't come up. Edited April 2, 2019 by lighthousedeb grammar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted April 2, 2019 #2 Share Posted April 2, 2019 The over 55 rate is not available for all sailings and categories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouhunter Posted April 2, 2019 #3 Share Posted April 2, 2019 There is no standard "senior discount". It's rare that a sailing is offering them, always has been. Regardless whatever the current "sale" is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was so happy to turn 55 expecting to get a discounted cruise. Here I am 3 years older and no discounts. I may as well be 45. The residents discount seems to be non existent in the Northeast as well. Edited April 2, 2019 by Iamcruzin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We always sail balcony or above cabin so get the D+ balcony discount anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ONECRUISER Posted April 2, 2019 #7 Share Posted April 2, 2019 (edited) Turning 55 next yr, couple cruises I checked on was like $20-25 off on 14-15 nite cruises. Not alot but I'll take anything. Been lucky on 2-3 cruises last couple yrs with military discounts. Though hard to find they were for hundreds off. Like with all Discounts check with/without see how much actually worth Edited April 2, 2019 by ONECRUISER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've actually seen a few (RCI) lately but the savings was next to nothing for Calif. residents and no itinerary/dates I'm interested in going to.

Well shoot, I told DH he was my one since he'll get there before I will and I was using him for future savings 🙂 Just kidding, he's worth it even if no extra perks when he/we get there! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the Freedom out of San Juan, and if so, they also had/have a NJ residency discount. Just wondering if it applies to all States. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swear they pay Florida residents to take a cruise. My SIL scored a 7 day cruise on Princess last March in the heart of spring break. interior room for $199 pp. If she didn’t show me the invoice I wouldn’t have believed it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
