When my parents booked their Norwegian Cruise Line cruise aboard the NCL Epic, they were excited to receive the military discount available to veterans. A 10% savings is always appreciated—but what happened next completely surprised our family. Waiting in their stateroom was an invitation to a special Military Appreciation Reception, along with a commemorative NCL challenge coin and military member badge. We had no idea Norwegian Cruise Line honored veterans in such a meaningful way. We adjusted our dinner plans so we wouldn't miss the event, and I'm so glad we did. From complimentary cocktails and hors d'oeuvres to a beautiful rendition of the National Anthem by the Cruise Director, this heartfelt ceremony celebrated veterans and active-duty military from every branch of service. One of my favorite moments was interviewing my dad about his Army service and watching him stand beside my brother-in-law—also an Army veteran—as they were recognized together. This experience became one of the most memorable moments of our entire cruise. To all veterans and active-duty military members—thank you for your service and sacrifice. If you're considering sailing with Norwegian Cruise Line, this is one military benefit you may not know about. 🚢 Ship: Norwegian Epic 📍Port: Castries, St. Lucia 🎖️ Military Appreciation Reception 🇺🇸 Army Veteran Featured Is this The Best Military Benefit on a Cruise Ship?
