over 55 discount

[lighthousedeb]

Why does the over 55 discount not apply on the new rates ( buy one get second half off).  In the fine print it says it does, but online it doesn't come up.

The over 55 rate is not available for all sailings and categories.

There is no standard "senior discount".  It's rare that a sailing is offering them, always has been.  Regardless whatever the current "sale" is.

That's also true on other lines as well. I was so happy to turn 55 expecting to get a discounted cruise. Here I am 3 years older and no discounts. I may as well be 45.  The residents discount seems to be non existent in the Northeast as well.

We got a senior discount several years ago on a specific cruise/date and saved quite a bit....haven't seen any offerings in quite awhile.

The over 55 discount has never materialised when I have checked prices.

We always sail balcony or above cabin so get the D+ balcony discount anyway.

Turning 55 next yr, couple cruises I checked on was like $20-25 off on 14-15 nite cruises. Not alot but I'll take anything. Been lucky on 2-3 cruises last couple yrs with military discounts. Though hard to find they were for hundreds off. Like with all Discounts check with/without see how much actually worth

Same here, plus no residency discounts either.

I actually got a resident discount on my May 3 night Harmony cruise

I've actually seen a few (RCI) lately but the savings was next to nothing for Calif. residents and no itinerary/dates I'm interested in going to.

Of course you did ... Florida residents get offered the most it seems.

Well shoot, I told DH he was my one since he'll get there before I will and I was using him for future savings 🙂  Just kidding, he's worth it even if no extra perks when he/we get there!

[springfire]

We also have taken advantage of Florida resident discounts but no luck so far with any senior discounts.

Just like there's no standard "Residency Discount."

I've been doing some mock bookings lately and on some itineraries , at least out of Bayonne, there's indications of "Kids sail free" and or "NJ residency discount" right upfront before selecting the specific ship, itinerary and date.

I was just looking at a Fall sailing for Freedom and it did show a Florida resident discount.

Is the Freedom out of San Juan, and if so, they also had/have a NJ residency discount.  Just wondering if it applies to all States.

I swear they pay Florida residents to take a cruise. My SIL scored a 7 day cruise on Princess last March in the heart of spring break. interior room for $199 pp. If she didn’t show me the invoice I wouldn’t have believed it.

[SakeDad]

We got the 55+ discount on the Spectrum Dubai to Singapore plus Buy 1 Get 60% off the 2nd and $75 OBC.....at that price we couldn't afford NOT to go!!!

But I agree they are few and far between.
