Well, whenever it started - great news!!!

 

I can't avail myself of this, but anything that supports our armed forces and other similar organisations, definitely has my vote!!!

Excellent news! I'll have to ring them as soon as I get home to see if I can get a discount on my current bookings, although they may say 'no' as I got OBC and a discount to start with. But its something to remember for future bookings.:) Its about time we got the same treatment as our US colleagues.

[Elizanessie]

Although I cant use it, I am very pleased that RCCL UK are able to do this now.

 

I remember asking about it on the Liberty Pre-Inaugural only to be told it couldnt be done due to different cultures,different rules.

 

Well done RCCL UK :D

And what about the over 55s discount that applies to US cruisers but not UK. But wait a mo - surely that would apply to the majority of cruisers?

Yes, RCCL is supposed to be the nation of why nots - so why not the over 55 discount? ROTFL

When we see the over 55 s discount we ring RCCL and have had a refund every time.

[sandancer]

Us too Missus Makkem, I check regularly to see if there are over 55s discounts on any cruises we have reserved. You will see from my screen name that we are almost neighbours Hinny.

Sorry Ed..no mention of law enforcement discount :(

 

I emailed them over 3 weeks ago to ask about law enforcement/fire service discounts in the UK....not had an answer yet :(

 

It would be very nice if UK over 55s/law enforcement/emergency services were treated the same way by RCCL as their UK equivalents......

But what about retired military personnel they can't get forms signed by senior officers so the will be excluded even if they have served for 22yrs or more before they retired
