Hi guys.

Yes for 12/6. I upgraded to a PR cabin for only $6 extra

 

Please do a review!! I love reading your reviews, and I'm in a PR on Freedom after you! So I'd love to hear your thought on it!!

Which cabin? :-)

[BillOh]

Fabulous. I am just slightly paranoid. Thanks [emoji4] so no one has ever had to provide proof that they qualify for the discount?

 

 

 

Not for this discount, I did get a residency discount once and we had to show ID for that. It wouldn't hurt to have a credit card to charge the difference just in case, but from what others have said ,you should be good.

 

Are you sure a private ambulance service qualifies? I have no idea, just throwing it out there.

8307 it's a family one! We won't be on until April 2016. I know it's still so far away but I'm still having fun looking at stuff to do in port!

I qualify for the law enforcement discount even though I am female and sixty-two. I have used the discount three times and never been asked for proof.

 

What the heck does that mean, even thought you are a female and sixty two - what an absurd thing to say?

 

I am LEO and sixty and why should it matter what sex or age you are. If it did matter upon check-in, someone would be in big trouble.

 

I was asked upon my first discount years ago, and as far as I know its now on file. I always travel with my credentials.

It says must be employed or retired from a state or local agency. Since we are a local agency..... And I'm not bringing a credit card for the difference. I don't own credit cards lol. I figure with my badge, pay stub, and license there is no doubt. And if they REALLY want to verify they can call my employer and speak to a supervisor.

I'm in 8309. I'll let you know how the location works out!!

Maybe because she is not typically what one would expect an LEO to be. Even on the phone when I was moving cabins the person who helped me (my normal TA was gone for the day) thought it was the male I'm traveling with not me, the female, who qualified.

[FunX5]

I sent you an email!

SunshineCruiser24 had the perfect response for this comment. A vision of me is not what usually comes to mind when most people think about "law enforcement". I believe that employees responsible for checking in passengers would/should be trained to spot improbable situations and automatically question my qualification for the law enforcement rate. Not an "absurd thing to say", at all.

[Reader0108598]

I have never been asked for my ID either but I always have it with me.

 

On a side note nine times out of ten I get TSA pre check at our home airport.

 

DH never gets it but they claim it is random:rolleyes:

I will be 62 when cruising on Allure in March and got a better fare with the retired law enforcement discount vs the BOGOHO sale!:p I, too, carry my retired law enforcement credentials when travelling. Never had an opportunity to use this discount until now, so will be interested to see if they ask me for it!:rolleyes: My reservation does say to bring it with me.
