OBC for UK veterans

[Clagmeister]

I am new to Princess  and wish to claim military OBC as a former member of the British Army and have the form. Other Cruise Lines have accepted the Defence Discount Card as proof of service. Is this the same with Princess Line?

The website says "American & Canadian". Ask and see what they say.

UK vets also have received this benefit.

I've received the benefit, had to send them a copy of my discharge papers

This form states for retired & honorably discharged veterans:

 

UK: Appropriate proof of service issued by the MOD

Thank you for the replies. I had already read the requirements of the form and understand who is entitled to the OBC. My question was simply to those who had experience of applying in the UK and had used the Defence Discount Card as proof of entitlement. This has been accepted on my sailings with Cunard and P&O in the past.

If the Defence Discount Card won't do, I guess it will have to be the letter from the Mil Sec thanking me for my service.

I received this credit for an upcoming cruise.

I managed to find an old document that had my service number and name on it and an MOD address

Good luck with the Defence Discount Card, worth a try. Otherwise contact the MOD and get an official letter or confirmation of your service.

The process took about two weeks with Princess and just prior to Christmas.

Showed up as OBC on my booking confirmation.

Thanks. If the DD card won't do then as mentioned I will use a copy of the letter from the Military Secretary sent to me on retirement a lifetime ago.

Did you have any luck with theDD card? I have my military records but not an actual letter of confirmation.

I also claim the UK military OBC,  I sent Princess a copy of my service from my discharge document  (the red book).
