Default military families?

Does anyone out there know of any good places (i.e. websites) to find info on military discounts/programs for cruises (it seems many travel agents are in the dark about these)? My husband is in the National Guard, so we don't live near a base where we could talk with others who are in the know.
I know Disney often has such programs (quite generous ones), but wondered if any other lines do this.
Thanks for any help with this!!!!!!!!!
-Camille

Check out the army MWR website, or sato travel. My husband is in the Naval Reserve, and we've found no cruise discounts unless the military member is active duty.

We're doing Disney via Shades of Green this fall and buying discount park tickets at ITT where he does his drill weekends, then going on a 4 day Disney Cruise. It was all booked separately to get the military discount from Disney on the hotel and passes. They offered nothing for reservists/guard unless you're activated.

Wow, I see your post is over a month old, so you've probably worked this all out already. Oh well, it's written, so I'll send it.

Have a good time on your cruise.

Julie

Thanks Julie!
We ended up booking thru Orbitz (a cruise on the NCL Dawn) . . . no military discount, but still a pretty good price.
We've been thinking of trying Shades of Green, too. I'd be anxious to hear how you like it, as we'd also like to try a Disney land/sea trip next year.
Thanks again for the tips/advise.
Hope you have a great time at Disney!! Sounds like fun!
Thanks, Camille

Hey Camille .. I have a daughter that is in the Military also and just booked a cruise recently and the TA told me that there was a discount for the Military but it wasnt alot of difference cause the cruise was already a great price .. Also that Carnival does accept Miltary discounts . Hope this helps
