ronnarel Posted May 11, 2007 #1 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Has anyone booked a military rate cruise directly with Carnival. If so how did you send the DD214 copy to them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chan_T Posted May 11, 2007 #2 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Has anyone booked a military rate cruise directly with Carnival. If so how did you send the DD214 copy to them? Sent it via fax to the PVP (included booking number). Sent a follow-up e-mail to let her know that I sent it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zachnlucy Posted May 11, 2007 #3 Share Posted May 11, 2007 You fax it to their Interline Dept. They'll give you the fax # when you book. I can't remember what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisepuke Posted May 11, 2007 #4 Share Posted May 11, 2007 I haven't done it on Carnival, but others have asked for a copy of my ID and that covered it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddoc Posted May 11, 2007 #5 Share Posted May 11, 2007 I booked a cruise about a month ago. They told me to fax it to 305-406-6478 Attn: Interline Desk and to include the Booking number, Ship name, Sail date and the name of the person who was in the military. I did and my travel agent told me they received it. It was easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddoc Posted May 11, 2007 #6 Share Posted May 11, 2007 We booked a month ago. You're instructed to faxx the cpy of the DD214 to 305-406-6478 Attention Interline desk. You are to include your booking number, ship name and sail date along with the name of the person who was in the military. All very easy to do!

marym933 Posted May 11, 2007 #7 Share Posted May 11, 2007 I booked on April 16. I was instructed to fax my husband's DD214 to 305-406-6478 attention Research Department/military promo/booking#. I was told to include a copy of his driver's license. My PVP said to do this within 48 hours of booking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ7 Posted May 11, 2007 #8 Share Posted May 11, 2007 We booked our cruise in January. Our PVP requested a copy of my husbands DD214 or military ID. He faxed a copy of his ID and we got the discount. Our friends did the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PINEVIEW01 Posted May 11, 2007 #9 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Does anyone know if they except a notorized letter saying his records were burned in the '60s? We cruised many times with Carnival never knowing of the Military Discount. Now that we learned from here, we requested paper and they sent a official letter stating his record are distroyed.:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that we learned from here, we requested paper and they sent a official letter stating his record are distroyed.:( I would give it a try, I can't imagine them not accepting a notorized letter, was it from the DOD? I would be very unhappy if they did't accept it especially now when we need to support all our troops current and past. Good luck. oh, as far as the 214, give a copy to your TA or fax it to your PVP, this is what we did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4sons1hubbynme Posted May 11, 2007 #11 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Has anyone booked a military rate cruise directly with Carnival. If so how did you send the DD214 copy to them? We did it different from everyone here. Our PVP told us we could email it. We scanned it into our computer & then just emailed it to him. Didn't have any problems & within a couple hours our booking showed the military discount. Hope this helps!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sd1029 Posted May 11, 2007 #12 Share Posted May 11, 2007 I have not booked directly with Carnival, but when we booked the military rate the first time we had to fax a copy of the military ID directly to Carnival and then also to the TA. We never had any trouble and really enjoy the discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TakeMeAway1001 Posted May 11, 2007 #13 Share Posted May 11, 2007 After having my credit compromised not once but twice be sure to black out the ss# on whatever you send. Since DH was in Iraq when I booked I faxed a copy of his orders and a copy of his passport seeing that he had his id's with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I scanned mine and e-mailed to our PVP along with my retiree ID card and driver's license. It makes it easy for her to just pull up our e-mail when we book another cruise.

travel girl23 Posted May 11, 2007 #16 Share Posted May 11, 2007 We faxed it in to our PVP and she has kept it on file for all our following cruises (for both DS and DH).

jetskier Posted May 13, 2007 #20 Share Posted May 13, 2007 My PVP and TA both have my DD214 on file. I scanned it and then emailed it to them. Makes it much easier than having to fax it in everytime. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sea_u_onboard Posted May 13, 2007 #21 Share Posted May 13, 2007 ... be sure to black out the ss# on whatever you send. I agree 100%. That's what I do. They don't need your SS# and you certainly don't need it floating out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drpack Posted May 14, 2007 #22 Share Posted May 14, 2007 The reason they accept an ID or DD214 is because if your not active duty or retired, you wouldn't have an ID. Any Vet would have a DD214. My TA says that the Carnival military discount is about the best discount in the industry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetskier Posted May 14, 2007 #23 Share Posted May 14, 2007 My TA says that the Carnival military discount is about the best discount in the industry. But it is still a good idea to check the other discounts. I have had two cruises where the Past Guest rate was cheaper than the MIL rate.

jimw Posted May 14, 2007 #24 Share Posted May 14, 2007 I didn't have a scanner a few months ago, so I shot a digital picture of my DD-214 and emailed it to my PVP. Worked fine.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl_in_norfolk Posted May 14, 2007 #25 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Heres a place to go to http://www.archives.gov/veterans/military-service-records/get-service-records.html A couple of years back I recv'd a letter from the records people in STL---They were digitizing the paper and wanted to know if I wanted anything. SO I asked for almost everything and now I have another copy of my service record. For those still serving---If you can get a hold of your service record--make a copy of everything in it--same with your medical records C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
