I love being a travel agent so I can help my clients go on great vacations while finding great deals. For military members, I have found that there is an abundance of vacation discounts available. My husband is a military member, so we like to use military specific promotions when we can! If you are a military member or veteran, using your discounts can be extremely helpful to make your next vacation more affordable.
If you or someone you know is a military member, remember to double check for a discount before cruising! For example, Princess Cruises offers onboard credit of up to $250 of onboard credit for active duty members and veterans! This onboard credit can be used to shop on the ship, enjoy some fancy cocktails, and more. Nothing is better than sipping a free piña colada poolside! Carnival Cruise line offers promotions for active duty and retired military members. Carnival even has a military themed bar on some of their ships! Royal Caribbean, Disney Cruise Line, and Norwegian Cruise Line also offer promotions for military members. In general, most cruise lines offer some kind of a military discount, though the amount/availability of the discount can vary.
Not a cruise fan? Plenty of other popular vacation providers give some form of a military discount! Sandals Resorts have stunning all inclusive beach resorts and offer 10% off for active duty personnel and veterans. If you love amusement parks, Universal Studios offers specially priced theme park tickets for active duty personnel and their spouses, retired, and 100% disabled veterans. Like Universal, Disney parks offer military discounts for theme park tickets.
Besides the examples I have listed, there are so many other vacation suppliers that offer military discounts. Using a travel agent to plan your next vacation will ensure you don’t miss any potential savings. Next time you travel, don’t forget to use your military discount!
