If there’s one thing the military community knows better than most, it’s how to travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From first duty station to terminal leave \u2014 and all the PCSs, TDYs, liberty, passes and block-leave excursions in between \u2014 we are definitely a mobile tribe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We excel not just in the science and skills of getting from Point A to Point Z, but also in the art and expertise of exploring and enjoying (and sometimes just enduring) everything that pops up along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More often than not, our wanderings reveal some true gems, the kind of stuff you want to tell your friends about. And if you vouch for it, chances are they’ll want to check it out, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s the idea behind Military Waypoint, our new travel club designed exclusively for the military community \u2014 including current and former troops and their family members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will be the place for you not only to share your travel ideas and photos within our military travel tribe, but also snap up special military discounts, deals and money-saving tips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we go into beta testing for Waypoint, we’re excited to launch our shakedown cruise \u2014 appropriately, we think \u2014 with a big contest to win one of three seven-day cruise trips for two valued at $6,000 each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s what you need to know:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For all others, register to become the first members of Waypoint. We’re making it as easy as possible. For most, verification of your military affiliation will be instant.

Pick a cruise.<\/strong> As part of the registration process, select one of three cruises to win. Sponsored by Entertainment Cruise Productions, each weeklong trip scheduled for early next year includes an ocean-view stateroom for the winner and a guest, as well as a $1,000 gift card to help cover surcharges and other incidentals. Each cruise has its own music theme, with a celebrity lineup of entertainers booked for each sailing. All three depart from Fort Lauderdale, Florida:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
