gecko12 Posted February 17, 2014 #26 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I had 2 inside rooms but when they did this promo last weekend. I cancelled my original booking and re-booked online getting beverage package, an upgrade to a verandah room and also saved $1000. The only downside is now the kids are in my room!

luv2cruise523 Posted February 17, 2014 #27 Share Posted February 17, 2014 So happy this worked for your SIL. It is nice to see this thread helped somebody. $1200 savings is nothing to sneeze at. What it tells me is that Celebrity is looking for a younger clientele as those with kids under 12 are not in their mid '50s or 60's. I suspect there are more of us in the 50-60yo range w/kids under 12 then you might think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iamthesea Posted February 17, 2014 #28 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Ha, I doubt that many, though. We are in the 50's to 60 range with a grandchild. I had 2 inside rooms but when they did this promo last weekend. I cancelled my original booking and re-booked online getting beverage package, an upgrade to a verandah room and also saved $1000. The only downside is now the kids are in my room! Now you can go spend $600 ($299 per kid) of that savings and put them back in their own Inside stateroom. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redtravel Posted February 18, 2014 #30 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I avoid restaurants that have days when kids eat free. They are full of kids. Great deal for families with kids. Miserable for people who want a quiet table for 2. I am glad that there are specific cruises when kids sail free. I will not be on those cruises. It will be a great time for families with kids. It just isn't my type of vacation. I sail at times when kids ought to be in school and on longer cruises. On those cruises, there are usually a few kids. I just hope that Celebrity does not offer kids free on all cruises. That would be a deal breaker for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miched Posted February 18, 2014 #31 Share Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) I received a email that Crystal is also offering for kids to sail free. I guess it is a way to entice the grandparents to sail by allowing them to take their "little angels" on a cruise so everyone else can also "enjoy" them.

DPurcell58 Posted February 18, 2014 #32 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Strange it's on the website today, but the link doesn't work. The sale was over yesterday (and I didn't see it on the website then!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatevergoes Posted February 19, 2014 #33 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Red travel; obviously children represent a real problem for you as you really had nothing pleasant or constructive to say on this thread. Believe it or not some of us have wonderful and very well behaved children who are a delight to many people around them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gecko12 Posted February 20, 2014 #34 Share Posted February 20, 2014 This was great for me but I hope Celebrity doesn't do it often. I truly am lucky to have 2 young laid back boys who rather hang with us than run around with lots of kids. Celebrity gives us the best of both worlds. Great dinners to dress up and spend quality time together but also have wonderful supervised activities for the kids to enjoy while my DH and I relax.

bplazo Posted February 21, 2014 #35 Share Posted February 21, 2014 It would be nice if they charged extra for children and keep it a more adult cruise line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
