Pooch

Somehow I suspect any military document with the right name on it will work. I don’t think the check in folks are all that well versed on this and probably don’t question it. Like my local grocery store, if I say I am entitled to the senior discount, they give it to me.

And just what would you like us “older generation” to do to affect the younger crowd positively?

Or you might find the complementary drinks to which you are entitled are enough & you don’t need the package?

I just do a mock booking on line entering military under exclusive discounts. No need to call.

Most hotels will let you use their amenities for a few hours after check out and hold your bags.

Yes, that’s what I meant. OP was told over the phone it was not possible but it is.

Remember Costa Maya is a stop built by the cruise companies to have another place to port. They built the port area & the locals built up the shopping strip. There’s very little in between.

There was nothing to stop for that I recall. Lots of construction and dirt. If that’s your reason, I would not bother.

It has discharge status, the correction added “under honorable conditions “ and his discharge date but does not list enlistment date which is why I have his records showing that date. And I have a DD-257N?

Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenadines (and atom bombs!) Roger only has a DD-215?? I sent a request to the military records dept for the DD-214 and they sent another copy of the DD-215. So I have that and a copy of his military record showing his dates of service.

We jumped on the “bus” at the end of the pier area. I remember 2 bucks each too. Then we got to talking to a taxi driver. He showed us where he parks & took us back to the pier for $10 including tip. So very easy, not sure why you’d rent a golf cart unless of course there is a mobility issue.

Dang, I knew “illusive” didn’t look right!!!!

Have a wonderful cruise! Ours is still 128 days away .

I’m bringing his discharge papers with me but from what I’ve heard, it is hit or miss whether they ask to see it or not. Just one more paper in my documents folder, not a big deal.

The military discount is, IMHO, pretty elusive . BUT I have found it for each of my currently booked cruises. It’s not always there at first but shows up randomly so I check for it OFTEN. I snagged a $620 (!!!!) military discount on our October ABC cruise on Explorer. Since then it’s remained available but now it’s down to only $200 or so. And it is on top of whatever the current promotion is. So when my TA repriced to add it, I lost $50 in instant savings but still gained a $570 price drop. My husband served in the Navy from 1973 to 1977. You bet I’m taking advantage of it! edited to add my Harmony sailing in March had a military discount of $504. Guess I have been very lucky!

Not sure about the casino, but vouchers are for Diamond & up.

Will be on Harmony in March so I tried your hack. 3 different dates in November with no entertainment options available yet. I will keep looking though!

Really, is there such a thing as too much bread???

My sympathies too. Can’t imagine being that close & having it snatched away. I must say you seem to be handling it well. Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

I’m GUESSING that the last ship in has to tender. 8 am is fairly early so probably not you!

What’s your arrival time?

Wow! How kind of you to do that. Yes that is the exact one. I have contacted an auction house about it. I don’t know if I want to sell it but it really holds no sentimental value for me. Frankly I can’t ever remember my aunt wearing it.

Forgive me but just google Rolex forums? There is such a thing? Who knew!! And yes, ins info from the 70’s

This is it.

Someone posted a picture of free style options for me (look for the vitamin water thread on the discussions page) and Powerade was an option. Not sure of flavors.
