Has anyone cruise on a military rate?

Military rates are great!

I just wish they would open them up to all veterans, not just those on active duty or retired

Thank you
My dead is retired military and my mom is a spouse. At last minute, my dad changed his mind about this cruise but my mom and I are going.

What documents are needed as proof during check in? When I called DCL, the CM was unsure. I assume it's an ID card, but is there anything else?

Yes, when I cruised with my Mom on a military rate, she only had to show her military ID card. She is also a retired military spouse. I'm not sure if it's changed but that's all we had to do

"vacations to go" website lists all the military rates and other discounts for every cruise line. I would still call and book through Disney, but it's a much easier way to see the discounts than plugging in MTO for every cruise.

I recently booked a four night on the Dream for November 17th. My dad's retired military and we were able to get two category 5A state rooms for $2,511.90 or roughly $125.00 per person a night. While I booked last minute, a little more than a month prior to departure, I had made reservations for the same two rooms in the beginning of 2014 (for the last weekend in September) and the cost was over $4,000.00. For those of you who can be a little flexible, waiting definitely pays off! I believe they post the new MTO rates every Monday.

We booked the military rate for the same cruise! Can't wait!

I thought you could only book one room with the Military rate?

I think it was because they didn't have any rooms left that would fit 5 people at the military rate so they allowed us to have two rooms. Both my mom and dad have military ID cards - my dad for his service and my mom because she's his spouse, so maybe they were allowed two staterooms per ID card. I'm not 100% . I just said thank you when the travel agent said, I just spoke with Disney, and you're all set
