41 Hidden Cruise Deals Only Seasoned Travelers Know About

21. Military & First Responder Discounts

As a thank you for their service, many cruise lines extend special pricing to active duty military personnel, veterans, and sometimes their families, as well as first responders like police officers, firefighters, and EMTs. These discounts can range from reduced fares on select sailings to onboard credits. Proper identification (like a military ID or verification through specific platforms) is required. If you fall into one of these categories, always inquire about applicable discounts when booking – it’s a well-deserved perk that can make cruising more accessible.
