Caribbean Chris Posted July 13, 2022 #5 Share Posted July 13, 2022 We had a very prompt reply confirming two cruises by booking number. Printed out to take along on the cruise in case front desk has an issue. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

occruiselady Posted July 13, 2022 #7 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Princess keeps the military info in your profile and you automatically get $100 credit every time that person books a trip. I wish HAL would adopt this policy, easier for everyone. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Crew News Posted July 13, 2022 #8 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Thanks for the reminder to resubmit for my upcoming cruises. I received this OBC a few years ago and did not realize this was ongoing. Retired Army. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyCruiser Posted July 13, 2022 #9 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Thanks for the post. Just applied, so now awaiting reply. Agreed that it'll be much easier/better if HAL just automatically apply this perk at booking, just like when we booked Princess last wk... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlorenceItaly Posted July 13, 2022 #10 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Thank you! I submitted for my dh this morning, and just received an email confirmation as well as an updated Booking Confirmation showing the credited OBC. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bricks609 Posted July 13, 2022 #11 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Does this offer work for retired law enforcement officers, or just active officers? I retired from LEO job in April 2020, and have retired credentials, just curious as to whether this would work for retired LEO's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
57redbird Posted July 13, 2022 #12 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Thanks - we'll see if we get the approval --- I'm a retired RN & hubby is a Navy vet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navybikermom Posted July 13, 2022 #13 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Thanks for posting this! I got it for my last cruise but didn’t realize it was still ongoing. I submitted it for my two upcoming Zaandam ones ☺️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wandrr Posted July 13, 2022 #14 Share Posted July 13, 2022 (edited) We have qualified as BOTH retired military and also first responders. They gave us just one OBC of $100, which is good, considering we are Canadian. Nothing in the conditions appears to limit this to Americans.

I started the process and the "Submit" statement indicates certifying that we are "active". Roy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yerdua Posted July 13, 2022 #22 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Thanks for posting this. I thought that it was strictly for 2021 cruises so I didn't pursue it. Because of this thread I submitted DH's retired military status earlier this afternoon for our Nov Panama cruise and got email confirmation of it being applied within a few hours. Now the question is, what to spend it on. Already have HIA plus crew appreciation and a bunch of non refundable OBC. Laundry, Rudi's, and either spa or more excursions. I love problems like this! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wdw1972 Posted July 13, 2022 #24 Share Posted July 13, 2022 I also thought this was over - I got it for a previous cruise. Thank you to the person who started this thread. I submitted for my upcoming 2 cruises (booked via TA) and had the email reply confirming both were approved within a few hours.
