Questions about union discount with NCL

I read over at one of the cruise critic forums that NCL was now giving a
discount to union members.

Since we are booked on the Crown to Bermuda this summer and my wife is a
member of the teachers' union, I e-mailed our travel agent and asked
about this.He confirmed that NCL has a new program that gives discounts
to members of the AFL-CIO. I have e-mailed back and asked how much of a
discount we are entitled to, but so far have not heard back from him.

1. How much is the discount?

2. Does it only apply to the union member or the entire cabin (similar
to if there was a senior citizen discount, we would get for the entire
cabin even though I am the only one over 55.)

3. Why aren't travel agents asking about union membership the same way
they ask about whether there is a senior citizen, state of residence, or
have you traveled on that cruise line previously.

1. How much is the discount?
Usually 5%


2. Does it only apply to the union member or the entire cabin (similar

It applies to everyone.


3. Why aren't travel agents asking about union membership the same way

have you traveled on that cruise line previously.
If your travel agent didn't ask, you might have the wrong agent.
