Retired teachers discount

[floridababa]

I went ahead and applied for the teachers discount.  They did apply the $100 to my sailing in May. I also have 4 more sailings. Can I get the discount on other sailings ? When the mariner lady tried to apply it for the October sailing it said that it had been used. Do I need to apply again for each sailing? Is it only once a year like the AARP?  

Please help

Thank you

The AARP may need to be re-validated once a year, but it is good on more than one sailing per year. Ask to be connected to a Pricing Specialist, they are wizards.

I am not a teacher, so can't help with that. I did have to provide proof of AARP originally, probably via Membership number? They say to wait 3-4 days between validating your AARP (prob. any of the programs) and booking.

If you mean on only one cruise per year, you have been misinformed. As of last Black Friday Cyber Week (late November), a Pricing Specialist applied it to FIVE cruises for 2024. Sadly, we had to cancel two, but still have a B2B2B (three cruises) in October with the AARP perk on each.

I just called HAL and they have no clue who a pricing specialist is 😑

We have had my wife's teacher credit and our AARP credit applied to multiple cruises in a year.  My TA took care of it - no problem

At that point, ask for a supervisor, and then the supervisor's supervisor if necessary. My PCC was the one who connected me to the Pricing Specialist.
