Cruising With JT Posted May 1, 2021 Report Share Posted May 1, 2021 Did anyone notice that Royal Caribbean cruise planner isn't charging the "Child" fee for excursions? I just booked 2 things at CocoCay and St Thomas and it didn't charge me for my kid but they are booked. Fine by me. Maybe Royal IT at work again, or another glitch that I am okay with Heymarco and Baked Alaska 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruising With JT Posted May 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2021 Crazy. When I book my excursions with my kid it shows up as "Infant" on the checkout page and charges them $0 even though there is a "Child" cost associated with. Hopefully they honor this glitch too like the $18 drink package glitch Just saved around $150 for 3 excursions that my daughter was a part of by cancelling and rebooking. Awesome.

Cruising With JT Posted May 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2021 Here is an example of what I see on this "new look" Cruise planner, this is the zipline at CocoCay and I have select myself, my wife, and my toddler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruising With JT Posted May 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2021 I checked with others on Facebook and it appears that this may not be a glitch, it may actually be a new kid policy that Royal implemented without actually telling anyone. It appears that kids 4 and under are now free of charge for excursions and specialty dining. I booked 3 excursions and 1 specialty restaurant where there was an associated child cost and my daughter who will be 4 at the time of sailing was not charged, even though she was charged for the same excursions/dining just a few months ago. Another cruiser on the same cruise did the same for their 2 year old and 5 year old. The 2 year old was not charged but the 5 year old was. So there you go. @Matt Have you heard anything about this possible policy change around kids? Not sure if I missed it in one of your blog posts.

twangster Posted May 2, 2021 Report Share Posted May 2, 2021 Does this apply to 3rd party excursions or just those owned and operated by Royal like many at CocoCay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it applies to both. We booked excursions in CocoCay, St. Thomas, and San Juan, and my 4-year old daughter was free for all of them today. She was charged a few months ago.

Although, as a toddler, is she 48 inches tall, as indicated in the requirements? Maybe they just assume she isn't big enough, and therefore aren't charging for something she can't do I've edited this, since I just read the other comments and realized "He" is actually she, and that others think like me...

Heymarco Posted May 8, 2021 Report Share Posted May 8, 2021 Shore excursions normally have reduced prices for children. Maybe this one was always free? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
