Kids Sail Free Coming?

[jgoodm]

Haven't seen a KSF in a while.  I've seen that sometimes people have marketing flyers in advance of the promos being announced.  Is one forthcoming?  Thanks.

Yes.  Not sure what I am allowed to post here, but you should see KSF by the end of the week.

I booked during the last KSF in November. 

If I find a better rate on my room during this upcoming KSF promo...will RCI honor the new rate?

Yes, though if there were other perks for your current price, like OBC, you may lose that.

It may be OK by CC's rules, but I am not sure about my travel agency's rules.  Some agents were posting info about Disney sales in advance on Facebook and they were very sternly reminded that doing so again would result in termination.

KSF starts Feb 1 and runs through Feb 28.

So basically the KSF promotion is only available when your kids are supposed to be in school.

You got it.

 

Why  would Royal discount kids when they are out of school.

When are we going to see them adding 2020 to the KSF?

Fall break generally works.  I've got my fingers crossed my October cruise will go down in price tomorrow!

not for everyone. Our spring break starts on March 31, so we scored the KSF deal.

[cloud7cruise]

Oh no... the cruise that I have been eyeing sails on March 29th... so it is excluded in the KSF deal/

Think you may be misunderstanding.  Sail date does not have to be in Feb. You simply have to book in Feb.

Well shucks.... thought this would go live today. Will have to check back in three days I guess!

I got pricing for the kids sail free earlier today.  It wasn’t advertised but the prices (or lack of forvthe kids) are loaded in the system for the applicable dates.

Funny thing is that there seems to be no mention of the KSF promotion on the home screen like I have seen in the past. Only once you pick an applicable cruise and start your reservation does the KSF promotion show itself.

My guess is that it will be advertised right after the current Super Bowl promo is done.

it's already a go.

Since we don't have any KSF in Sweden right now, I can't check. But when I read above, the transatlantic cruises are excluded from the KSF offer?
