Any information about Explora offers for Military or interline rates ?

I just posted for someone else that Explora had a discount offer for MSC/Status Match passengers but that's now over.

 

As of yet, Explora does not have a loyalty program but my guess is that they will NOT be status matching other cruise lines ....

 

At present, the price you see is the price you pay minus any agency discounts or obc promotions with some of the travel consortiums.

It appears that there's a new Status Match offer .... in the legal bits, it alludes to an Explora Loyalty program that will also likely offer Status Matching.

Interesting that MSC Diamond gets the maximum 200 credits while the other mass market line's top tiers get 100.

All strange.  HAL 5* also gets 200 but Princess, is not even listed.  Strange.  I also notice they do not say where to send the request for the match.  Another question I have is are these points worth anything?

Everything including booking questions and issues goes to contact@explorajourneys.com

 

Crazy how they determine what one gets..  they do give top tier Seabourn 200 points.  Interesting too the hotels linked, such as 4 Seasons....  My DW would not like it if I get 200 for 4 seasons and she gets 100 for Seabourn..

 

The links did state that once Explora does create their own program they will be linked. It also states that these credits can be applied to the folio.  Value per???

Are you applying this to an existing booking 

[CruiseCrew123]

Wonder if we get this on top of the early booking offer they did for msc diamond members 

[Dr. Cocktail]

I just spoke to them .... only applicable to bookings made after May 12, 2023 ....

 

I'll just have to be happy that my price never went lower, even with all of the various promos and offers!

Prices for what we booked did not change, anyway as Dr Cocktail rightly said at least they did not go lower
