Special Rates

[crazidude1400]

I booked a cruise I am going on soon a long time ago, and I can't remember if I booked this under a military rate or not. Is there any way to tell if I did online?

If you booked it yourself through RCCL you should be able to go on line to your cruises and look up the paperwork and invoice.

It will give you the copy and what discounts you were given. ;)

OR, if you booked thru a travel agent, you gotta deal thru them. Seriously hope you get this straight.

I have the tan card for military discounts on RCCL.

Did you book it through a TA or RCCL?? They should be able to tell you...

How do you get a tan card? Do you send a copy of your DD214? My husband is a vet and I see that they have changed it to include vets now. Debbie

Military Program Restrictions

 

You are purchasing a cruise vacation using a special restricted price program rate. It is important that at least one guest per stateroom be eligible to be considered in compliance with a restricted price program. It is also important to note that non-compliance of the restricted price program terms will result in the reservation being re-priced to the lowest available fare for that particular day. Furthermore, you will be responsible to pay for any differences immediately or else your boarding rights will be denied.

 

To qualify for a military rate, an individual must be classified as one of the following:

1. Active personnel currently serving in the Canadian National Defense; United States Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, National Guard or Reserves. Proper identification in the form of a United States Uniformed Services WHITE Identification Card for U.S. military personnel, and a WHITE N.D.21 Identification Card with a Red Canadian Flag displayed for Canadian National Defense personnel, must be presented at time of check-in.
   
2. Retired from any of the divisions listed directly above. "Retired" is defined as A) enlisted personnel or officers with a minimum of 20 years of service, B) medically retired, or C) 100% disabled. Proper identification for those classified in category A, or B must be in the form of a United States Uniformed BLUE Identification Card. Proper identification for those classified in category C is a United States Uniformed TAN Identification Card. Retired Canadian National Defense personnel are eligible and must possess the same white card as described above for active personnel. All forms of identification must be presented at time of check-in.
   
3. Honorably Discharged with a minimum of 2 years of service from any of the United States service divisions listed above. Proper identification in the form of a United States Uniformed BLUE Identification Card must be presented at time of check-in.
   
4. Spouses of actively deployed, or deceased military personnel, are eligible to book one stateroom as long as the eligible spouse is occupying the stateroom. All other guests traveling in the same stateroom are also eligible for the military rate. Spouse must present the PINK Dependent Military ID upon check-in as proof of eligibility.

All guests traveling in the same stateroom are eligible to receive the military rate. No additional staterooms, other than the one that is occupied by the military person is eligible for the military rate. Spouses, parents, in-laws, children or other family members or friends are not eligible for the military rate without the eligible military person occupying the stateroom.

 

********************************************************

 

The above is from the RCL site regarding the military discount. Paragraph 3 covers vets, 2 years service and honorably discharged. It states that proper identification is a BLUE Military ID card. Vets that are not retired nor disabled do not have a military ID card of any kind or color.

 

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

 

However, on our upcoming cruise in April, two other couples going at the same time are vets and have DD 214s. They both worked through the same TA as I did and got military discounts. They were told that the DD 214 would suffice for identification.

 

I personally think that is GREAT. I just wish RCCL would update their "Military Program Restrictions".

 

As far as "getting a tan card" The restrictions state that is for 100% disabled vets. I don't think you can send away for one.

 

And "Pumbaamd" thanks for your service. My hat is off to you, sir.
