About 30 million people set sail on cruise ships every year, per Travel + Leisure — and many of them probably would welcome a discount on the voyage. Now, some travelers booking with the Margaritaville at Sea cruise line can snag the deal of a lifetime.
Ahead of Veterans Day on November 11, the Jimmy Buffett-themed cruise line is offering a new "Heroes Pass" for active military members, veterans, police officers, firefighters, emergency workers, and teachers to take unlimited cruises to the Bahamas through 2024 beginning at just $300 per year, per TheStreet.

Earlier this year, the cruise line unveiled its "Ultimate Paradise Pass," which allows guests to take an unlimited number of two-night cruises to the Bahamas out of Florida for $899.
The "Heroes Pass" is a variation on the inaugural deal. Neither pass includes the taxes, terminal fees, fuel surcharges, or tips for services onboard, and booking fees for the staterooms will vary between $19.99 and $49.99.

There are blackout dates for sailings this year leaving on November 23 and December 31. In 2024, May 25, August 30 and December 31 blackout dates also apply.
