Age 55+

Sometimes cruise lines offer special discounts to  customers who are 55 or older on the day of departure. Always tell your Vacations To Go cruise counselor if any member of your party is 55+, so that he or she can compare any age-related discounts that are available to other discounts and find the lowest possible rate. Only one passenger per cabin must be at least 55 in order to gain the discount for everyone in the room. The cruise line will require proof of age in order to qualify. 

 Sometimes cruise lines offer special discounts to customers who are active, retired or volunteer Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs). EMTs must present a copy of their official ID or badge and a driver's license or passport at the time of booking to qualify. 

 Sometimes cruise lines offer special discounts to  customers who are active, retired or volunteer firefighters. Firefighters must present a copy of their official ID or badge and a driver's license or passport at the time of booking to qualify. 

 Sometimes cruise lines offer special discounts to  customers who are employees of a domestic or international commercial passenger airline. Retired employees may also be eligible, and in some cases, the spouse, parents, parents-in-law and dependent children may book one stateroom even if the interline-eligible guest is not traveling.

Employees of other cruise lines, Amtrak, Federal Express, DHL, United Parcel Service, Worldspan, Sabre, Galileo/Apollo and Amadeus or members of the Airline Pilots' Association, Federal Aviation Administration, International Airlines Travel Agent Network and National Air Traffic Controllers Association may also qualify.

Eligible travelers must present proper documentation at the time of booking to qualify.

 Cruise lines appreciate the loyalty of customers who sail with them again and again, and some lines offer special discounts or shipboard credits to their past guests. Always tell your cruise agent if you are a past guest of the cruise line you are inquiring about so he or she can compare any applicable discounts to other promotions and find the lowest rate. Proof of past-guest status is required at the time of booking.
