MamaParrotHead Posted January 22, 2007 #1 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Does anyone know what that is, offhand, so I can check our rates online? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TakeMeAway1001 Posted January 22, 2007 #2 Share Posted January 22, 2007 I am pretty sure for the Military rate you have to call or go through a TA, at least in my experience with using it that is how it was done. Have a great day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lvtotrvl1 Posted January 22, 2007 #3 Share Posted January 22, 2007 You will have to call a TA or cruiseline. Military rates are not online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaParrotHead Posted January 22, 2007 Author #4 Share Posted January 22, 2007 So there aren't any codes I can enter in the "promotional" field on the Carnival site? I don't care for that much. My PVP is great, but I hesitate to keep calling and checking on things like these. I like to be able to keep an eye on what's going on with my sailing. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs.G Posted January 22, 2007 #5 Share Posted January 22, 2007 My husband is also military. I love those discounts! There are a couple places online you can check that does have the military discount displayed. shoot me an email if you want to know which sites to check. kav4566@uncw.edu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruise_pirate Posted January 22, 2007 #6 Share Posted January 22, 2007 I know a site that shows the military rates Unlike someone on these boards last year who told me there is no way to watch or get rate drops under the military rate I watched this site very closely and we saved $500.00 on our last cruise if you want this site email me and I will send it to you Lonnie Put something about the rate in the subject as I delete most emails without opening them due to junkmail!:D ragingpaint@yahoo.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfirst Posted January 23, 2007 #7 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I was wondering, do you have to be currently in the military in order to get the military discount? My dad was thinking about taking my mom on their first cruise for their anniversary this year and they both were in the military. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emilyrose Posted January 23, 2007 #8 Share Posted January 23, 2007 With carnival, you can be active, retired or have been honorably discharged and get the discount. other lines are different. the military discount is really really good. my pvp said it's almost always the best discount available.

emilyrose Posted January 23, 2007 #11 Share Posted January 23, 2007 mmm, according to my pvp. it's also the best rate we've ever found. My point was, it's not usually worth the hassle of waiting out for one day sales, and trying to finagle combining discounts and coupons, etc. The military discount is excellent, and usually can't be beat. It does happen, but not often enough to hold out and risk the miliary cabins filling up for the ship you want. I haven't heard any shady PVP stories. Plenty of shady TA stories though. What benefit would my PVP (who was a personal friend before she was my PVP) get from lying about how good the military discount is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajntra Posted January 23, 2007 #12 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I don't know what you thought I meant emily, maybe mmm means something, but "mmm" is the code my pvp told me to use for military discounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimw Posted January 23, 2007 #13 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Thanks for the "mmm". I tried it on a cruise that we have scheduled with a mil discount--the Carnival website indicates no cabins remaining for that sailing. I guess the price won't drop, I will check back anyway. Thanks again!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaParrotHead Posted January 23, 2007 Author #14 Share Posted January 23, 2007 It tells me that there are no sailings available either, but the other websites that CC members have emailed to me have shown they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
