Thread: Great news for soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan

Discovery Cruise Line, which runs day cruises from Ft. Lauderdale to the Bahamas and back, is offering FREE cruises to soldiers serving in Iraq or Afghanistan, or who have served in the last year. EVERYTHING on the ship is included - meals, taxes, service charges and port fees. This is good through Dec. 31, 2010. The form to get a free cruise is here:
Discovery Cruise Line - Salutes our Military

That is a nice gesture on the part of Discovery Cruise Line.
I imagine a wife/husband or friend would still have to pay full price.....so that would make it like "buy one get one free".

Even if the companion has to pay full fare, it's still a really great deal, and Discover Cruises surely deserves some loud applause for thie program!

Absolutely!

And when you think of all the single people who are in the military, this is a great way for a group of them to spend time together. I am very impressed.

Me, too. I just love it. And I wanted to help spread the word, so I blogged about it this morning. Not that I have THAT many followers on my blog, but you never know who might run across it!

CM, I found this on a blog, so your just never know where and how news travels. (I think it was a couponing blog!) In this case, the important thing is that the news Does travel.

Well kudos to Discovery because that is a great gesture. A small one compared to what they sacrifice for us.

I just emailed this page to my DB who has contact with many many marines!
I hope some of them get to go. How great!
