Ours/Hers took about 2 minutes - Sheer ID ... but she had been 'verified' twice before - once for $50 OBC and then last time for the 50% off.  Active license, but not working in a 'medical' field - currently doing some private 'nanny' work

Too bad it's for "new bookings only". Our son is a CHP officer and is booked with his family and us for their first ever cruise in 2024. I hate how they run these promotions that block out people who are already booked for a future cruise.

I believe if he’s not paid in full, he can cancel and just rebook it, even if at a different agency.

"Standard fare" is the full fare which almost no one ever pays.  The cruises are always 30-40% off, so this could still be a decent savings.  Hopefully they have not restricted it to a small number of cruises during off peak tines.

Actually, the ‘standard fare’ is the one without the Plus or Premier packages added on to it.  Those items, if you wish to add them on will the done at the rate of $50 or $75 a day pp. and that portion of your fare won’t be at a  discount.

Maybe they will provide an Education offer again during a time when Educators can use it?

I'm not sure if this is about rewarding first responders, or filling berths...

Once I’m on a cruise, I don’t care which one it is.

After getting verified how do I find the designated cruises that are discounted

That's my question?  I got the email that I was verified but then it just looks like it's taking me to the regular Princess site and it isn't clear if the discount is applied.  What am I doing wrong?

If they are giving me a good discount, I don't really care.  This happens so rarely for nurses.

Did you see the Excel document posted earlier with the available cruises? No prices but dates, ships & destinations are listed.
 

In the Princess website for this offer it states “You will be sent your offer via email on December 5, 2022 so that you can book your next cruise”.

FYI - I went to use the Teachers discount on a current cruise and there was a different promo that had much better pricing. So check all pricing when you go to use the promo.

 

It is not 25% off lowest fare but 25% off standard fare. I had a promo (balcony for inside pricing).

We don't have anything we plan to book with this discount, but are looking forward to seeing what the offers are and possibly booking, depending what it looks like. If I recall correctly from last time, they were offered at an excellent price.

LOL! And I just retired as a medical provider and turned in my practice license to the state board. 😁😆

My daughter is verified for this and wants to give us this cruise as a gift with her discount.  Is that possible?  She can't travel with us as she is constantly working.  How would I find this out?  Many thanks in advance.  S

I don't believe this would be possible.  The discount would only apply if she was a booked passenger.

The one case that I've seen showed a Chicago PD officer who was issued a medallion with a shield rather than a Princess logo.  There are some first responders (especially law enforcement) who would rather not have their occupations broadcasted while they're on vacation.

I was already verified for my cruise I took last week.  Do I have to get verified again?

Is it possible they chose that symbol when picking out their medallion?

[cheezenip]

Today is the day!! Last time, people were receiving them at random times (some later in the week). Perhaps we could let others know in this thread when we receive our offer.

[jennybenny]

We've got the "you've been verified email" saying we'd get something today and we've yet to see anything. Patiently waiting....
