Military/Retired OBC on Princess

[trustgal11]

Princess is now offering OBC, depending on the length of the cruise as to the amount, to active/retired Military. We are on a 10-day cruise and will be receiving $100.00. You will need to provide them with a picture ID and Form DD214, along with your confirmation #, ship and sailing dates. You can either fax it (661-753-0151) or mail it to Princess attn of Yield management. You should first contact your TA for further information. it is a fairly new promotion so not all agents are aware of it.

I haven't sailed on Princess since Jan 2000 when I was married to my late husband. When my TA booked a cruise for my new husband and I this past Sept Princess recognized the address and gave me past cruise credit. They gave my husband, retired from the Army, the $100 credit after he sent in the paperwork. So far, I'm becoming impressed with Princess again.

Both my wife and I are veterans. Does not mean we each get the OBC?
