julesbeara Posted February 13, 2007 #1 Share Posted February 13, 2007 How much of a discount are senior citizens given off bookings? Looking at reserving either an Oceanview or Balcony for my in-laws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeniRich Posted February 13, 2007 #2 Share Posted February 13, 2007 The discount varies. It is not a set amount and it is not available on all cruises. You would have to check the cruise you are interested in to see if there is one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sept10dsm Posted February 13, 2007 #3 Share Posted February 13, 2007 These are not on all cruises nor for all cabin types on the cruise at times. They are generally out there as the cruise approaches and is not yet filled. You can find some listed on Promowave or pick a cruise and pretend to book and choose 55 plus. Also, be sure to put in the state you live and any military service since, at times, these too offer discounts. I have never seen any set amout for discounts.

spag Posted February 13, 2007 #4 Share Posted February 13, 2007 We saved about 50% on a JS booking 5 weeks before sailing!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MellowMel Posted February 13, 2007 #5 Share Posted February 13, 2007 My parents saved $300 on an upcoming Alaskan balcony. A friend of my mom's saved $600 on an upcoming Rhapsody out of Galveston. I'm not sure her room type - I think balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingsgirl Posted February 13, 2007 #6 Share Posted February 13, 2007 How much of a discount are senior citizens given off bookings? Looking at reserving either an Oceanview or Balcony for my in-laws. It varies...BUT...just so you know or anyone else knows... If say you're booking a cruise for your inlaws AND you're travelling with them.... Book one of your inlaws in each room (so it's one old/one young). If you do this you can get both rooms for senior discount. If one person is in the room qualifies for senior discount then the WHOLE ROOM is priced at senior discount. I didn't know this, and never saw it posted here, but found out when I booked my own room with my mom (who is 65) and I got the discount too. BTW...you don't have to sleep with the inlaws - once on board it doesn't matter which room they stay in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Compass Rose Posted February 13, 2007 #7 Share Posted February 13, 2007 About 3 months prior to booking our Western Carribean on Legend, we saved almost 50% on a Junior Suite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted February 13, 2007 #8 Share Posted February 13, 2007 We got $50 off pp, for one person in the cabin being a senior. All categories on the cruise I signed up for got $50 off. Even only $50 off suites. Better than nothing, I was happy enough to sign up for the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
