I must be blind. I just  went to NCL.com and could not find anything to do with a veteran's discount. I looked under My Account and tried the Help button. I wish all cruise lines would use the same method for determining military history. I've used ID.me and the one that HAL uses, I forget its name. Plus whatever Princess uses, which is the one I use the most often.

 

If you can send me a link to where that veteran's section is it would be appreciated!

NCL verifies military service through ID.me.  Instructions and details are on the NCL website at this link. I'm not eligible, but my co-workers get a discount on their NCL cruises!

My October cruise hasn't been cancelled yet but I have a couple of questions for anyone that knows the answers.

If my cruise is cancelled by Carnival and I choose a refund, will I also be refunded the cost of Carnivals Insurance?

If my cruise is canceled by Carnival and my initial payment was made with a Carnival Gift Card, will I receive a refund check or just another gift card?

Thanks for any insight from another that has already experienced these issues.

I got the entire amount back. I had multiple charges for two staterooms, where I made purchases on different dates (initial full payment for staterooms, FTTF on a later date, Funshop purchases on yet another date). My refunds were exactly what was charged on my credit cards (used two cards) on the dates of purchase. I didn't know what to expect because I had heard they would not refund the cost of the insurance. That was not true in my case. I got it all back.

I think they aren't following FIFO.  The refund I am waiting for is FTTF booked March 22, 2019. The cruise itself was booked July 17, 2018.

I got the bulk of my money for two staterooms (approx $5k) refunded for a 3/21 cruise last weekend. I paid in December. I got refunds for two FTTF charges, purchased in early March, about a month ago. I'm still waiting for a refund for our Cheers and Bubbles packages, along with some other miscellaneous Funshop purchases. Those were also made in March. It's all been pretty random. 

Great report and beautiful pictures. Thanks for the helpful information. :)

Not only is your trip report extremely helpful, but I also LOVE you photography!
