OscarDela Posted February 15, 2023 Report Share Posted February 15, 2023 How does the kids cruise free work? Is it a requirement to have 2 adults in the same room in order for the kids to cruise free? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshleyDillo Posted February 15, 2023 Report Share Posted February 15, 2023 Yes, you have to pay for passengers 1 & 2 in the room and the kids fare is free. Remember rooms that hold more than 2 are typically more $ for passengers 1 & 2 than if you price out a 2 person room so you can't assume what you quote for 2 people will be the same price when you add the kids.

RCVirgin22 Posted February 15, 2023 Report Share Posted February 15, 2023 Which is annoying because in most cases when only booking 2 people there's already the pullout that can sleep 1-2 small kids, so why they opt to charge more to compensate for said "freebie" sounds like just game playing to make it appear you're getting a deal. I've tried multiple bookings and it never seems to work out right regardless of guest combination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xaa Posted February 15, 2023 Report Share Posted February 15, 2023 I don't think the Sofa's pull out on the 2 person rooms. It always works out on my bookings, those 3 person rooms just cost more. Supply and demand. If not for KSF, the 3rd has a charge associated with them that isn't removed in discounts. What they hope for, and what they get, are people who think of Cruise cabins like hotel rooms and expect the final cost for 3 to be the same as the final cost for 2 and it isn't. They benefit because the more people pricing cruises, the more cruises booked.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried multiple bookings and it never seems to work out right regardless of guest combination. I was pricing a cruise recently with two people in each room, three rooms side by side. I put myself and a kiddo in one room and my husband and other kiddo in the other room. When I put in the ages of each passenger my price changed because it wasn’t two adults in the room. I’m not sure why it matters, but it did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCVirgin22 Posted February 15, 2023 Report Share Posted February 15, 2023 My scenario is that my sister has two kids and her partner, thus 2 adults and three kids. Then me as a solo. Well I thought I might catch a break by putting one of the kids in the same cabin as me instead of paying full fair for one plus it also lessens the guest count for their room since 3 kids would require more space and a 4-5 person cabin is very rare. I also did this because every time I booked solo it wanted to place me on the complete opposite side of the ship from them, I couldn't ever find a scenario where we were next door to each other. So by booking one of the kids with me it at least put us closer together so we were only 4 cabins apart. lol Another issue was since I've already cruised in a OB room I wanted to experience a Balcony over the promenade or park central, and then book them in an OB. In only one scenario did it let me do so but we were still several cabins away from each other. I feel like I almost have to get a TA for this particular arrangement. Cruising solo is so much easier.

Bowen Posted February 15, 2023 Report Share Posted February 15, 2023 When you’re looking for rooms are you checking the box that says “connecting cabins”? Is that something your family would want? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
