Military discount cruises

[NDFAN89]

So I am new to the military and heard Disney cruise has good savings for us . I am thinking of the dream November 24 but this will be week of thanksgiving. My question is does disney offer lower rates to military on these popular weeks? Also, when should I start looking ?

Thanks but do you know if they usually discount these popular dates?

I can't say. We aren't military, or FL residents, and don't generally cruise at that time, so I haven't been paying attention.

I believe there's a thread with historic discounts on it. I'll see if I can find it.



Well, here's one, mostly *GT discounts but does mention military ones:

And this one is a really big one that keeps updating with all discounts. However, it just started in March this year, so won't cover what's already happened but worth checking out:

Like other discounts, I don't think the MIL rates are available for many cruises -- primarily the off-season ones that aren't selling well. This mainly means not during holidays, non school vacation times, etc. Never say never, so continue to watch, but I wouldn't expect it at the holidays.

Enjoy your cruise!

This. When we cruise it's usually with a military discount. We don't have kids so we can go off season. They rarely if ever have discounts on the Fantasy and the discounts they usually do have on the other ships are off season when kids are in school. We're leaving on a cruise on Halloween since it's discounted due to the time of year. I pretty much guarantee you won't see a cruise over Thanksgiving discounted.
When they do have discounts they usually come out around 75-60 days prior. Sometimes less rarely more. They update their discounts on Monday mornings so that's the time to check.
