vamommyof3 Posted May 31, 2017 #1 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I am super excited for the upcoming Kids Sail Free promo :D (I read somewhere that it will start tomorrow for select Oasis of the Sea's sailings for next May). My question is when I book for 2 adults + 3 kids will the deposit be $1,000 or just $250/adult so only $500? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted May 31, 2017 #2 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Last I heard, the deposit is $500 per stateroom for 7-day cruises, regardless of the number of guests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vamommyof3 Posted May 31, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Really? I could have sworn we put down $1,000 last time we booked our stateroom (family oceanview stateroom if that makes a difference?!) :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted May 31, 2017 #4 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Not that Royal's website is always correct, but they still have this posted: http://www.royalcaribbean.com/customersupport/faq/details.do?pagename=frequently_asked_questions&pnav=5&pnav=2&faqType=faq&faqSubjectId=426&faqSubjectName=Group+Reservations&faqId=4836 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrDani226 Posted May 31, 2017 #7 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I just booked the Kids Sail Free promo last week and had to put down $1000 for 4 in a cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sk8ermaiden Posted May 31, 2017 #8 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Same for us. Booked under Kids Sail Free last week in a balcony, two adults 2 kids, one room, thousand dollar deposit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiseCheapsk8 Posted May 31, 2017 #9 Share Posted May 31, 2017 It also depends on who you book through as well. Certain travel agencies have an agreement with Royal Caribbean that can get you a reduced deposit, for as much as half off the deposits, all the time. Meaning you would pay $125 per person, rather than the usual $250 (which is what it is in most cases). Others may look at it differently, but I am a big proponent of putting the minimal deposit possible down, as I usually have multiple bookings at once for 1 or 2 years or further out.

CruiseCheapsk8 Posted May 31, 2017 #10 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I booked a cruise for my wife and our three kids under the kids sail free promo with Royal Caribbean and only paid $589 because our third child was on a separate reservation (we booked an Oceanview Family Stateroom) and her total only came to $89 because the taxes and fees. This is a little different than some of the 2 adults, 2 kids setups, but done right, through the right agency, you could only be paying $500, instead of the normal $1,000. Just a heads up.

Just a heads up for those not aware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
