Military Rates

[deepnite10]

i do know that NCL has/had a pretty good military program..

 

used it befor and was able to save nearly $400 on our cruise..

however, after viewing the most recent rates i ve notice that

they ve cut the discount rate back..

 

using the code PGMIL i was able to compare the reg. rate vs.

military..and the differance is alot less than i received for my

past jan. cruise..

I was told that they re-structured how the discounts work. I know there is a chart which reflects the percentage amounts. The sailings that are further out get 10% and the closer ones get up to 5%. Previously the chart had discounts up to 30% for some sailings. I do not see any on the chart that are over 10%.

Here's a link to the PDF chart that lists all of the Union and Military discounts by ship, sailing date, itinerary, and cabin category:

What's dissapointing is that the military rate doesnt always qualify for other promotions. They current pepsi promotion wont be honored with the military rate which is unfortunate

We are going to Alaska May 2010 and all the Alaska cruises (at least on the Pearl) are only a 5% discount, so you are still doing better than we did! It seems like it depends on the promotion whether they will combine with the discount or not, though, because we got the OBC they were offering at the time we booked (the 3-day sale in June) and also got a discount by booking through our timeshare network.

If you get a "casinos at sea" card on the ship and gamble while on your cruise, you can get a minimum of 17% off you next cruise. we have used this option on our last 3 cruises.:)

Is the 17% for anyone that has the card or do you have to gamble a minimum amount to get the 17% We only spent about an hour in the casino last cruise but did use the CAS card.

Would someone please explain exactly what the "Casino at Sea Card" is.

 

Thanks & regards,

Can you tell me what the pepsi promotion is? If it's good, I'm hoping it might still be available! Thanks!

I am interested in the answer to this, as well.

Let's face it, as cheap as most cruises are right now we can't really complain that they are only taking off another 5 or 10%. I appreciate the fact that they give any kind of a military discount and make it available to retired military - the ones who have time to do a little cruising! (Only work 10 hours a day now instead of 12-14)

I appreciate the fact that it's available to active duty, retirees, and non-retiree veterans.. Those of us who are vets but not retirees and not disabled pretty much are completely ignored when it comes to military/veteran discounts.

 

It's almost like our service wasn't worthy because we don't carry an easy to verify ID card.

 

Which really cheeses me off because I was part of a huge cohort who joined in the late 1970's and early 1980's, when being in the military wasn't cool, and despite benefits being at an all time low (no GI bill) during the volunteer era... and a large percentage of us were 'kicked to the curb' when the Wall came down and the politicians were busy cashing the 'Peace Dividend'. We weren't even allowed the choice to stay in and complete our careers and retire.

 

We are the forgotten generation of veterans.
