How to Book a Cruise with our Veteran and Military Discounts

You may book directly here on our website. Our cruise search engine is configured to reveal the cruises with the lowest military discounted rate plus our extra discount is built right in. Need to book more than one cabin? Just book the first one and then start again to book the next one.

If you want to confirm that the rate shown online was the lowest rate available to you and to get our additional discount applied, you can call us at 1-866-9-MILITARY (866-964-5482) to book the cruise with you over the phone.

Be sure to tell the agent that you or a family member is part of the Armed Forces. We will then help you find the right cruise for you at the very best price.

If the cruise line is offering their own military rate, you will get that rate for as many cabins as they allow. Even if no veteran and military discounts are offered by the cruise line, we will apply our discount to the other cabins. If you already booked with the cruise line directly before you found us and have not yet paid in full, call us anyway. We might be able to get a discount applied for you.

Is there such a thing as 80% discounts on cruises, as advertised by some other websites? Oh gosh no. We can hardly believe some sites make such silly claims! The reality is, their rates are usually the exact same as the cruise lines. They are comparing their price to a ‘brochure rate’ to sound like they are offering a discount.

What kind of military cruise deals and discounts do we offer?

We simply offer a discount off the cruise lines' lowest rate, usually about 5%.

So for a $4000 cruise fare, our discount would be $200. It comes out of our commission, so there’s not much more to give. (That’s why the claim of 80% off is soooo ridiculous.)

And we offer free travel insurance for kids and discounted at around 50% off for adults, based on passengers ages.

and discounted at around for adults, based on passengers ages. Yes, you ALSO get any and all past guest perks, amenities, onboard credits, promos offered by the cruise line - anything you would get by booking direct...PLUS OUR EXTRA MILITARY DISCOUNT!

Do the cruise lines offer any military cruise discounts and benefits? They all do something different. Carnival consistently has a special low rate just for the military on most of their cruises.

Royal Caribbean does! Just be sure to check the military box.

Norwegian does not but you get OUR discount PLUS a $50 onboard credit from US in addition to any they offer!.

Celebrity often has a military rate that’s about $100 less than civilian rates.

Disney occasionally announces a huge military discount on specific cruises. Usually not on holiday or summer-time cruises. Mostly on cruises during the offseason like in October, November, February, and March. We check for those daily and post all details on our Disney page.

Princess and Cunard offer onboard credit to every military member. The amount is $50 to $250, based on the length of the cruise.

The luxury and river cruise lines rarely have a discount specifically for military and veterans, but we book all luxury and river cruise lines and provide a discount for you when you ask us for a quote!

How are our military discounts on cruises calculated?

Thee cruise lines often have anywhere from 3 to 20 different farecodes we could use to price out a cruise. Some are higher, but come with a beverage package, or some amenity like that. When you book on our site, our site automatically uses the lowest available farecode offered by the cruise line for that cruise. Then, our site automatically subtracts a discount from that fare - and reveals this new discounted price to you. If you want to get the perks that are offered with higher-priced farecodes, you’ll need to call us to book. And we’ll help you use that farecode, and then still get our discount applied.

How to find all possible military discounts? All rates you see on our site already have a military discount added (which means, actually, subtracted from the cruise lines’ lowest rates). So, if you were to compare our rates with the cruise lines’, you’d see that ours are lower. Also, if any other benefits, amenities or perks come with that cruise, we’ll have them listed under that cruise in the ‘BONUS OFFERS’ section. Be sure to click the bonus offer itself to read the terms and conditions. But honestly, the way you should go about this is looking for a cruise you’d like based on where you want to go, and when you can go. And then see what the best deals are that fit your needs.

How can you get any military deals or discounts applied to your cruise booking?

You don’t have to even try. We do that for you in three ways.

First, our online booking engine is configured to check for all military discounts from the cruise line.

Then our system automatically adds an additional discount from us.

Finally, one of our expert agents personally looks at every booking to make sure it has been done correctly, and all perks and discounts that could apply, have been applied.

Once we get a confirmation from the cruise line with your booking, we check that carefully to make SURE they’ve got all our discounts and benefits applied.

You know what - we do even more than that. So, you are in good, capable hands with us. You don’t need to worry about a thing. We got this.

Why You Should Book With Military Cruise Deals Here are even MORE reasons why veterans and military folks like you should book your cruise with Military Cruise Deals. We apply our military discount to all cabins that contain any friends and family of military personnel – so your whole group gets our discount! If the price of your cruise comes down, we’ll get you their new lower rate or the difference in the form of onboard credits or upgrades. This applies only until the final payment date. After the final payment date, cruise lines will not adjust the rates or provide onboard credit but may offer an upgrade at their discretion. When you book with us, you pay the lowest possible rate – lower than if you’d booked with the cruise line directly, on-base agencies, or other online cruise websites. We help you save even more money on travel insurance and shore excursions. We never charge booking or cancellation fees of any kind! The cruise line penalties apply as usual though! We’re always available by phone – so you can get excellent customer service from a cruise expert every day of the week! We aren’t just order-takers. We are experienced cruise travel agents!

This is how we save you money even after your cruise is booked and paid for:

Imagine if your travel agent called you and said, “I happened to notice this morning the cruise line lowered the price of your cabin category by $200 per person, and I was able to re-fare it to that new lower rate. So, I just wanted to let you know that your balance due is now $400 less. Which means you’ll be charged $400 less at the time of final payment. Have a nice day!

Between the time you book your cruise and on your final payment date, if we notice, or you advise us that it is less than what you paid, we contact the cruise line and request that they re-fare your cruise to the new lower rate, upgrade you to a higher category, or provide an on-board credit for the difference. If they allow it, based on their rules for your fare, that is!

If you notice before we do, call us! Cruise lines do NOT always honor the request but we always try! Please note, Cruise lines will NOT refare after the final payment date and many of the new non-refundable deposit fares restrict making fare changes after booking!

Who qualifies for our military discount? Our cruise discounts apply to all U.S and Canadian active duty, retired and honorably discharged military personnel (veterans) – and their friends and family. Even military members from OTHER countries are able to book most cruises with us. Email us to inquire! Seniors who are veterans may qualify for all senior and military discounts available.

Click here to see how to indicate senior and veteran status on our site. While all spouses, dependents, family, and friends DO QUALIFY for the military discount from Military Cruise Deals, most cruise lines will often only allow the veteran and military discounts to be applied to the cabin which contains the member of the military. Thus, getting the maximum military discounts and benefits applied correctly is sometimes not an easy and obvious endeavor. We are experts on all the cruise line’s military and veteran discount policies: we know exactly when special rates and benefits pop up, who qualifies for them and how to get them applied. Our agents are experts in military discount policies and procedures and will know exactly how to help you book a cruise and get the best deals for all military and veteran groups and families.
