We will be traveling to Alaska this summer on Princess with our daughter and grandchild. The baby will be 10 months old at the time. When we booked two excursions, we were told no charge for the baby - he'll sit on his parents lap on the excursions. When we just called about booking the Juneau Mendenhall Glacier + Salmon bake, the "cruise specialist" said we have to pay for the baby. We explained that we weren't required to pay on the other excursions, and he would be carried by his parents, sit on their laps, and would not be eating salmon as he's only 10 months old. They had no reply other than reading out of their book to us that he has to pay.
Has anyone encountered this before? I don't see why we pay for a baby when he gets absolutely nothing out of it and does not take up any space. What is the REAL policy? Is there a number to call other than the general one where we get people speaking broken English?
