ready2cruzagain Posted April 29, 2018 #1 Share Posted April 29, 2018 On all other cruise lines I have sailed the military discount has included veterans even though it stated active and retired military. Is MSC the same? Will they honor DD214 from serving during Vietnam? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrinaLC Posted April 29, 2018 #2 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Yes, it does: https://www.msccruisesusa.com/en-us/Cruise-Deals/Military-Discount-Rates.aspx Those that qualify for up to 10% off discounts include active and retired U.S. and Canadian Military personnel, including U.S. Army, Air Force, Marine Corps, Navy, Coast Guard, National Guard, Army Reserve and Department of Defense personnel.* MILITARY Our military discount includes active and retired military personnel, plus family members including spouses, parents, in-laws and dependent children. You can apply your discount to multiple staterooms. There are ZERO penalties for redeployment - 100% future cruise credit will be good for two years from cancellation (must be verified by a letter from a commanding officer). All you have to do is cancel no later than 15 days prior to the cruise departure.** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kateymwf Posted April 30, 2018 #3 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Although the post from the MSC website above didn’t say specifically Veterans, I am an Iraqi Freedom Vet and was able to get the military discount, for myself and the 35ish people I’m cruising with. I had to send my MSC agent my DD214, they reviewed and approved. It was a really great touch! Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarolnLarry Posted April 30, 2018 #4 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Works for all veterans US and Canada. I had my TA submit the paperwork for me. Have sailed MSC 3 different times and each time she had to submit the paperwork for the discount but it works..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moz Posted April 30, 2018 #5 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Would this discount work for a widow of a WWII veteran. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pappahbuttz Posted April 30, 2018 #6 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I got the military discount when I booked my cruise and they gave me a higher military discount when I upgraded my cruise to Yacht Club. I though that this was generous as some other lines only offer the discount on select cabins and or sailings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ready2cruzagain Posted April 30, 2018 Author #7 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Thanks everyone for responses. I booked yesterday with MSC and she automatically gave me the discount and sent me an email to send her a copy of my dd214. Worked out great!

ranchette Posted April 30, 2018 #8 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Will they give you the 10% discount if you already received the 5% with the black card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Into Cruising Posted April 30, 2018 #9 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I do not think it is combinable with the Loyalty 5% discount, so you have to take one or the other...Of course a 10% Military is a no brainer. As others said all it took was a copy of my DD214 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ready2cruzagain Posted April 30, 2018 Author #10 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Will they give you the 10% discount if you already received the 5% with the black card? No, I was told you could only use one. Not both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As others said all it took was a copy of my DD214Not combinable, but 10% military discount on balconies and above. Maybe more for YC; I have no idea. It's 5% on regular inside and ov.
