KAKcruiser Posted November 5, 2021 #1 Share Posted November 5, 2021 HAL has a new promo on their website that says Kids Sail Free on select cruises. Does anyone know where to get a list of these cruises? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oaktreerb Posted November 5, 2021 #2 Share Posted November 5, 2021 On the HAL page that tells you about the promo, if you click to get details, I think the cruises it brings up are included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you get to this page from the main page banner? https://www.hollandamerica.com/en_US/deals_CAD/kids-cruise-free.html I believe all the cruises under the 3 categories (Holiday 2021 Caribbean and Mexico) linked on that page are eligible and the "terms and conditions" for the "free kids" are detailed at the bottom of the same page. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirkNC Posted November 5, 2021 #5 Share Posted November 5, 2021 I will be sure to check so I can be sure to avoid those cruises. 10 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RGEDad Posted November 6, 2021 #9 Share Posted November 6, 2021 Just remember to read the Fine Print... "Holland America Line cruises through February 28, 2022 are available for guests who have received their final dose of an approved COVID-19 vaccine at least 14 days prior to the beginning of the cruise and have proof of vaccination. " No Exceptions for Unvaccinated Kiddos... So no teeny tiny little younglings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAKcruiser Posted November 6, 2021 Author #10 Share Posted November 6, 2021 The cruises that are linked are not necessarily eligible. If you do a dummy booking, most of the holiday cruises have fares for kids. The only sailing I found for kids free was a 5 day caribbean cruise right before the holidays.

aa7yy Posted November 6, 2021 #12 Share Posted November 6, 2021 Have no ideal why HAL wants to compete with Carnival and Disney when most of us are closer to Viking or Virgen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare albingirl Posted November 6, 2021 #13 Share Posted November 6, 2021 Not many kids sail HAL. I remember on a transatlantic, we had one girl who was being home schooled. She ended up being everyone's grandaughter. She cried when she had to leave the ship after 42 days. We all loved her. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aa7yy Posted November 6, 2021 #14 Share Posted November 6, 2021 Last TA I was on there were probably 12 - 15. Not good when the Club Hal folks would bring them all to the pool at once. Zero guidance ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAL keeps trying to shift their demographics but they have never seemed to have much luck. Another move I do not understand. In my opinion the current HAL setup is not great for families. Much more of a focus on music, dancing and enrichment than live shows. Daytime activities are also not geared for families other than Club HAL. At the same time they have cut back MDR offerings. It seems like the worst time to introduce new customers to your product. If people sail and don't have a good experience they are likely to write off HAL forever even if HAL changes some of these things in the future. Why they would try to compete in this segment with Carnival, Disney, Royal & NCL right now is beyond me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
