In most cases yes, but check with us first.

99% of the time, you can use your Future Cruise Credit with new bookings, including P&O Cruises. Very rarely, it will only be usable directly with the cruise line. Speak with one of our UK based experts at Rock The Boat, and they’ll verify if your credit applies to your next cruise.

8. Can I share my blue light cruise holiday discount with anyone else?
Most of the time Yes! As long as you’re personally travelling, you can use your discount when you book two or more cabins at the same time. You don’t need to be directly related too. Bring your friends and family and they’ll share your Blue Light discount too. Don’t worry, you don’t have to pay for them! They’ll have their own login to pay towards their trip without you having to do anything. Our team of experts make it super easy for you and your fellow sailors.

Yes of course. If your cruise fare doesn’t include drinks and a package is available, your travel agent can help you with the best way to add these
11. Why do I need to register?
These offers are available only for people like you thanks to your job. That means we need to keep the details of the deals away from prying eyes
