Baby price


Recommended Posts

You're buying a seat in the life boat.

 

All get charged a fare, no matter their age. Some lines will do a 'third sails free' promo but those are rarely bargains when looking at the bottom line.

Remember when looking at Carnivals website, they will average out the fare between the number of people onboard so it may look like your childs fare is as much as yours. When you get to the end of the booking, it will be broken down into the correct fares.

The only break is that gratuities aren't (by Carnival's policy) expected to be paid for children under two years old.

 

Let the arguing commence as to whether they should actually pay higher gratuities if they make bigger messes....

Correct. Ours will be about 10 months when we sail. 3rd/4th passenger was less than half our cost and saves us $84 in gratuities. That's reduced enough for me.

For our upcoming July cruise, it actually costs more per person for the 3 person cabins than the 2 person cabins. Passengers 1 and 2 in the 3 person cabins are more expensive than for the 2 person cabins so the 3rd person discount is false on our sailing. We were told high demand for 3 person cabins equals higher prices.

It's all about Supply and Demand. Econ 101. Dynamic price by at its finest.

We've booked two doubles because a quad cabin was more expensive.

You beat me to it. In peak times it is sometimes more expensive to have 3 people in a cabin. That is usually not the case but it can happen. The rate for a 4th person can also be different than the rate for a 3rd person, so you just never know.

 

For example if you have 6 people it may be cheaper to book a cabin of 4 and a cabin of 2 instead of both cabins for 3. If it's just 3 of you, then there isn't much choice.
