If you are a serving or ex serving member of the Australian Defence Force or NZ Defence force you may be interested in this little gem. I have just applied for and received an extra $200 onboard credit for my cruise just by emailing a copy of our statements of service. (both hubby and I were in the Army). Couple bottles of wine for me and maybe a beer or two for him. This is an extract of an email I received from Carnival Australia.:)

Carnival Spirit is pleased to announce the extension of the special defence program to ex-serving members of the defence force.
