How does kids sail free work? Is it for all cruises?

[karlth]

I'm planning a group cruise and was wondering about how the Kids Sail Free think works on MSC.

 

Are they offered on all cruises?

 

Thanks in advance.

As far as I know, kids sail free on all cruises since autum/winter 2011.

Agreed, believe it's all cruises now. They're not really free though, port costs are charged per child. It's just a lot cheaper than an adult though!

Thinknthe kids also need to be sharing with two fare paying adults as well.

Children do not sail free in the yacht club.

That's correct, and in addition they have to pay porttaxes. Anyway, a very good deal for families with children.

I believe the age limit is now 11 and under, it used to be 17 and under

 

will need to double check if different in other areas they sail

definitely a plus when cruising with the family

 

wish they added more ships in the caribbean, with alternate ports

Ok. I have 2 kids now age 13 & 15, when we sailed the Lirica, Splendida and Musica both of them were free, they both stay with us the same cabin (quad), they only paid about $40 govt fee each, no port charges.

 

Recently I called MSC to quote my Northern Europe for 2012, for a quad for 4 of us, they told me each kid pays $99 + $20 for govt fee, again no port charge for them.

 

Kids under 11 do not pay the $99 in which is free but they have to pay the govt fee at about $20 to $40, depends on where you are sailing. Kids have to stay in the same cabin with 2 paying adults in order to get this deal.

 

Hope this help.
