gszenacm Posted April 13, 2006 #1 Share Posted April 13, 2006 We just went with RCCL and paid full price for my daughter who was just 11 months - seemed like a waste...but there were EVEN younger ones there...at least my daughter ate some of the food and left a mess at the high chair. I thought at least one cruiseline let under 2 kids cruise for free or at least at a discount...was I dreaming??? and I'm not just talking 3rd or 4th person discount here...

bruce-r Posted April 14, 2006 #2 Share Posted April 14, 2006 dreaming perhaps. Doesn't seem fair, but parents to have a choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, awhile back I took the kids on Premier's Big Red Boat. My 5 week old (Yes, that's right, 5 week old!) was sort of free. We had to pay the port charges only for her. There were other lines that did that also. But that was then and I don't know what they do now. Costa runs "Kids Sail Free" on some of their sailings. That's not even for kids under 2 either.

besito20 Posted April 27, 2006 #4 Share Posted April 27, 2006 NCL charges only port fees and taxes for children under 1. We booked our cruise this year based on that. I don't think any other cruiseline does something like...(except the one that the PP stated). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loobylouuk Posted April 27, 2006 #5 Share Posted April 27, 2006 my two kids went for free. We are uk residents though and this might make a difference. we are cruising Europe from Southampton on Sea Princess.Looking through their brochure there are lots of dicounts for kids, P&O discount too.

crusinmama06 Posted April 28, 2006 #6 Share Posted April 28, 2006 I think NCL might be the only one (although we have never sailed Carnival, so I am not entirly sure about that line). On Disney, we paid full price ($899 for a 7 month old). On NCL we paid just taxes and port fees for a 2 year old. On RCCL, we pay the 3rd person rate (it's $499 for each child). The reason is that a ship (by law) is only allowed to hold so many people. And a baby, no matter how young, is counted as a person in a room. So although they don't take up the same space, they do up the amount of people allowed on board and take a space away from an adult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
