Free cruise for two and adding kids

Hi all,

I'm new to this forum and hope to get some help for booking a free cruise with RCI. 

My husband is a premier member of club royal and he got a complimentary cruise offer from our most recent sail. We have 30 days to book a free cruise for two. We have selected a ship and itenary and only need to pay about $160 extra for the two of us. But because we have two kids (under 12) and definitely want to bring our kids with us on vacation. The total cost then becomes 2 extra cruise fare + upgrade to a 4 people cabin, which will cost over $2000 extra. 

My questions would be, when RCI has "kids sail for free", or any other type of promotion, could it be applied to existing booking? It will save us a lot money if we could wait till promotions are out, but our offer has an expiry date. 

Could I book the free curise just for me and my husband before our offer's expiry date and wait till later on when there are better promotions to add my two kids? Will our booking be eligible for the promotion then and will we risk not being able to secure a 4 person cabin?

If we book for 4 now and pay extra $2000, when there are promotions out, could we request price adjustment?

I really appreciate your help if you have any experince or knowledbe about adding people to free cruise offer.

Thanks so much!

CoCo

And by the way, do I book directly with RCI or shall I book with my last TA? It seems TA may have more to offer, but not sure about eligibilty of promtion and price adjustment stuff? Saw a post just now showing most people like to book thrugh a TA? Any good RCI TA that does not charge a $20 fee?

Thanks.

Most TAs don't charge a fee (but it's best to check right away).  Many of us here use M.E.I. (they are a sponsor of this blog) and are extremely happy with their service.  They do not charge a fee.

You can access them on the home page of the site at http://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com - it's the big yellow form on the right-hand side of the page (if using a desktop - I'm not sure where it is using the mobile view).

Thank you very much, I'll try that.

To answer your question, most promotions don't often apply to casino bookings. Also, Kids sail free won't be valid for certain sailings. Your Crown and Anchor discounts may apply but in order to get a KSF promotion, you may have to pay fare, so if it's completely free, they may charge you for the children. You need to speak to a casino rep, or a TA and they will let you know what's feasible.
