Combine placeholder with military pricing?

[Heatherdbby]

Can I use my placeholder to book military pricing for a cruise?

Nope! The offer cannot be combined with Florida Resident Rates, U.S. Military Rates or with any other special offer or discount.

Unfortunately, not....I wish it could though! hahahaha

As others said, you cannot combine OBB/placeholder with any other discounts. Though you will likely find that the military discount is higher than the 10% OBB.

How do you see the cruises with the military discounts? Do you call or is there a place listed somewhere? I use my military discount for park tickets and other things but it never occurred to me that DCL had discounts too.

(if you're on the DCL website go to 'Plan a Cruise' then click 'Special Offers' under that menu.)

I have never seen that. Thank you so much!

But cabin selection is normally very limited.

They usually release them on Mondays. I check often and sometimes there are so many great deals and other times there are not. Keep checking. I mostly sail with them and have #26 booked, saving thousands of dollars.

Okay! I think we will still buy OBB and worst case let it expire and refund... the issue with military discount is we don't know if we want to be limited by the room type

That is what I do. I like to keep a placeholder with my TA that I use at times and a placeholder for a direct booking with DCL. Sometimes, I use them, and other times, I use a military discount. I love my TA, but sometimes I want to book myself instead of hoping I get what I want, especially on the opening day of the booking window. It is always nice to have a placeholder ready to use if you need it.
