3. What proof of employment do I need?

It varies depending on where you’re employed and if you’re retired too. The easiest way is to speak with one of the team who can help you with what valid official identification, ID card or valid proof you’ll need.

4. Isn't it difficult and more expensive to book with a travel agent?

Absolutely not. With Rock The Boat, you’ll get the best offers available, free extras and professional customer service to make your booking as stress-free as possible. We strive to provide blue light card holders with unbeatable discounts on a variety of cruises so you can enjoy the perfect holiday without breaking the bank. Plus, having your own cruise expert take care of all the little things saves you time as well as money – double bubble. Have a question, just as your personal expert. No need to trawl through other sites or spend hours on hold to book your cabin.

5. Can I still get a discount if I'm retired?

In most cases yes. After joining the Sailing Club, just check with one of the team.

6. Can I use a Future Cruise Credit (FCC)?

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.

7. How much can I save on my cruise with my NHS Staff, Armed Forces or Social Care Discount?

Discover incredible savings with Cruise Deals for NHS, Emergency Responders & Armed Forces by booking with Rock The Boat. Our professional team can help customise the perfect package that includes discounts like the MSC NHS discount and NCL NHS discounts, alongside many other cruise deals.

8. Can I share my blue light discount with anyone else?

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.

Sometimes, the discount might be slightly lower for your friends. We'll let you know before booking.

9. Can I book flights, transfers, hotels and car parking too?

Of course, we’re a full-service travel agency and can help you with every part of your trip. If you’re booking a package with flights, you’ll have ATOL protection and cruise connection insurance included too.

10. Can I add on drinks packages and other extras?

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 and join The Sailing Club?

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.

12. Who are Rock The Boat?
