Dose RCI offer Military discounts?

[Echo Queen]

To get the military discount does your status have to be active duty, retired, or just the fact that you served in the military (DD214) ? If you are not using a TA do you just call and submit info to RCI? I do recall reading that not all cruises offer military discounts, please confirm. Thanks

Q: Are there special prices for military personnel?

 

A: Yes, we do offer special rates on selected sailings for military personnel.

 

It is important that at least one guest per stateroom be eligible to be considered in compliance with a restricted price program. It is also important to note that non-compliance of the restricted price program terms will result in the reservation being re-priced to the lowest available fare for that particular day. Furthermore, you will be responsible to pay for any differences immediately or else your boarding rights will be denied.

 

To qualify for a military rate, an individual must be classified as one of the following:

Active personnel currently serving in the Canadian National Defense; United States Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, National Guard or Reserves. Proper identification in the form of a United States Uniformed Services WHITE Identification Card for U.S. military personnel, and a WHITE N.D.21 Identification Card with a Red Canadian Flag displayed for Canadian National Defense personnel, must be presented at time of check-in.

 

Retired from any of the divisions listed directly above. "Retired" is defined as A) enlisted personnel or officers with a minimum of 20 years of service, B) medically retired, or C) 100% disabled. Proper identification for those classified in category A, or B must be in the form of a United States Uniformed BLUE Identification Card. Proper identification for those classified in category C is a United States Uniformed TAN Identification Card. Retired Canadian National Defense personnel are eligible and must possess the same white card as described above for active personnel. All forms of identification must be presented at time of check-in.

 

Honorably Discharged with a minimum of 2 years of service from any of the United States service divisions listed above. Proper identification in the form of a United States Uniformed BLUE Identification Card must be presented at time of check-in.

 

Spouses of actively deployed, or deceased military personnel, are eligible to book one stateroom as long as the eligible spouse is occupying the stateroom. All other guests traveling in the same stateroom are also eligible for the military rate. Spouse must present the PINK Dependent Military ID upon check-in as proof of eligibility.

 

All guests traveling in the same stateroom are eligible to receive the military rate. No additional staterooms, other than the one that is occupied by the military person is eligible for the military rate. Spouses, parents, in-laws, children or other family members or friends are not eligible for the military rate without the eligible military person occupying the stateroom.

They don't offer a Military Discount on all of their sailings.... They seem to offer them on sailings within the next 3 months or so that aren't selling well.

 

They just offered a fantastic Military Rate on our Pacific Coastal cruise in May that we booked last year... we were able to get a great price drop. :)

I periodically check the rates on the cruises we've got booked.... I went to the RCCL website last week and went through the process of beginning to book our cruise. When the rates came up for a new booking, it showed there was currently a Military Rate for our E1 balcony catagory of $499. I called RCCL and they credited our credit card $540 for the price drop. :D
