partybarbie Posted August 29, 2015 #2 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Here's the link for you http://www.princess.com/military_benefit_program/#.VeEz3Pm6fIU I think you still have time to get the credit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-Dogg Posted August 29, 2015 #3 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Hello, Once they have the military service on file, you will not need to resend it each time. We found out on our second booking with Princess that it automatically applies after they have it in the system. Great perk! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradtez Posted August 29, 2015 #4 Share Posted August 29, 2015 It also applies to members and ex members of the Australian Defence Forces. I applied it on my first princess cruise and it has automatically been applied ever since. Very happy :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treven Posted August 29, 2015 #5 Share Posted August 29, 2015 (edited) Yes, it's nice that Princess is doing this. Plus it's great that we (veterans) no longer have to keep resubmitting our dd214 each time. Hopefully Princess will get generous and include veterans from the UK and Europe.

Prinzkonig Posted August 29, 2015 #6 Share Posted August 29, 2015 UK vets are included, but we apply every time Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted August 29, 2015 #7 Share Posted August 29, 2015 OP, The amount is the same as the Shareholder OBC. They are based on the length of the cruise. Less than 7 days = $50 7 to 13 days = $100 14 or more days = $250. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denton1 Posted August 29, 2015 #8 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Here's the link for you http://www.princess.com/military_benefit_program/#.VeEz3Pm6fIU I think you still have time to get the credit. Both my wife and I are veterans. We mailed our DD214s in and the credit was on our account in less than a week. There is also an option of attaching a scan of the DD214 to an email or sending it in as a fax. The office that does this at Princess is very efficient.

Also it is refundable if you don't use it by the end of the cruise. However, we have never had money left over. It goes for tips and tours and before you know it we owe them at the end.

JF - retired RRT Posted August 29, 2015 #11 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Some of the other Carnival Corp lines give the military OBC, as well. We booked a Cunard cruise (later cancelled) and the OBC automatically transferred. I was really surprised.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denmarks Posted August 29, 2015 #13 Share Posted August 29, 2015 One thing you may not know is that this is one of the onboard credits that is refundable if unused. Even the stockholders credit is not refundable. Look at your credits on your personalizer and there is an asterisk leading to the following statement. "Please enjoy using these credits onboard as they are not refundable." There is no asterisk on military credit. Also your onboard statement will have NR next to the non refundable credits. This is not one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess doesn't require that. Another VET that appreciates what Princess is doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most Brit Vets (myself included) would shift that in 1 or 2 nights!:D;) BTW - I do appreciate the gesture and it probably pays off for Princess to give this to UK vets - most of us run up substantial bar bills!

The OBC can be automatically applied to the daily service charge, tours, dining at Crown Grille, and a spending spree at Facets, etc. DH receives the Military OBC and I/we are shareholders, plus we receive FCC credits and whatever TA promo for additional spending monies. No matter how much we have "banked" on each cruise, we always have a balance due that goes to the credit card. Darcy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UandMe4Ever Posted August 29, 2015 #18 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Depending on the length of the cruise, it will range from $50 (5 days) $100 (10+ days) and 14 days = $250. Yes, there is still time to fax his DD214 to your TA or Princess for them to credit on OBC. Only he gets it. Good luck and have a good cruise.

sue2go Posted August 30, 2015 #21 Share Posted August 30, 2015 I would suggest you fax it instead of emailing a scanned copy. We emailed, no response at all. Faxed and got the credit in less than 24 hrs.... Perhaps not everyone's experience but certainly ours. Very appreciated credit on our upcoming first Princess cruise!

Prinzkonig Posted September 5, 2015 #23 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Yes, we have just received $1050 OBC, 750 for vet credit ( includes 250 they forgot from last cruise) and '300 for booking this on our last cruise Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelers36 Posted September 5, 2015 #24 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Lately I've been wondering if there is a correlation between the military veterans benefit and the fact that so many Princess cruisers are great folks. With a presumably higher percentage of veterans sailing on Princess ships, it just could be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With those OBC amounts you're apparently sailing b2b cruises & if you had shareholder's OBC you'd have an additional $500 of OBC. :) On a b2b (14 & 17 day) cruises, we had $1,650 of various types of OBC.
