Why no military rates on Celebrity?

Just wondering why Celebrity has no special rates for military personnel unlike Royal Carribean and Carnival. Carnival actually offers deep discounts. I just think it would be a nice gesture on Celebrity's part to offer discounts to our fighting forces. Our troops are now being deployed for even longer periods of time away from their loved ones. It would be a great way to enable them to relax ,be pampered, and have a great vacation with their families. Let's face it, they are not compensated enough for what they do. What do you think?

They do offer them on selected sailings. You find more on RCCL and Carnival because they have so many more berths. I have seen some great rates for the military over the years. And I fully believe they deserve it.

I was just looking at July and X is offering 19 military rates for selected cruises and 13 for August.

 

They usually offer the military rates until about 2-3 months out.

I think it is great that American companies offer Military discounts. We are from the UK and my husband was in the RAF for 25 years. We never got any discounts in the UK, but when we went on holiday to the USA they would honour his military service and give us discounts in many places we visited. I think in SeaWorld Florida we even got in free, which was lovely as he was just back from Iraq.

 

I have to add I love America and I think Americans are friendly, genuine lovely people.

Thanks for the info. I guess I never saw advertised military rates for Celebrity. I'm glad they offer them.
