About Military Discounts and Special Cruise Rates
We receive many questions about discounts and special cruise rates for Military.
Yes, most of the cruise lines offer special rates or credits for Military. Here is just a sampling of what Royal Caribbean International offers our Military. Most of the other lines follow suit.
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 with the restricted price program terms will result in the reservation being re-priced to the lowest available fare for that particular day. 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:
