    We actually saved probably 700 with this for a May 31 cruise next summer. Well, it is summer for us because school ends in May now. I had it booked without KSF promotion and when it came up, called and changed it. With our 2 boys, I was quite happy with the discount. Keep looking throughout the year. It was a 5 min phone call to Royal to change to the new sale. I think I did this on March.

    Are you sure? Does he have the money in his pocket? It was quite an effort on my part to get my $500 deposit back when Royal cancelled my cruise.

     

    I waited for the refund and it never showed...so I called three different times. I got the same story each time: "sir you will get a certificate for $300 ($150 x 2). You lose $200 because it was a non refundable deposit."

     

    Each time I explained Royal cancelled the cruise...not me. Each time I was told it would be straightened out.

     

    Finally my refund was processed after I received two certificates for $150 each. I won't use the certificates because I did get my full refund.

     

    Those refunds don't always automatically happen.

     

    Cheers:)

    Can you "gift" your refund to a good cause? Maybe a family that could use them that otherwise wouldn't be able to go? I know it isn't a lot' date=' but for some $300 could mean the difference between going and not. And it would take a crappy feeling situation and turn it into a good feeling for you.

    Absolutely...Yes...They do....Do your children go to preschool or school or an occasional day camp....not much different.

     

    The staff onboard are "professionals" !!!

    They are school age, I just would not be comfortable leaving them on board. Not so much because of the staff, but more of the what if we for some reason don't make it back to the ship. Just how my mind works. To me, it would never be an option because I am a cautious person. Nothing against any parent that does. We just wouldn't.

    Heads up folks - there's a WOW sale going on!

    I generally agree - the sales are usually a shuffling of the deck and prices remain about 5% either direction of the same price. But this sale worked for me in a big way.

     

    Bermuda out of Boston this October on Serenade had a Kid's Sail Free component - that saved me about $500 - had I booked it first thing in the morning when I first noticed it, I might have saved a further $150. Given the total bill was $15XX for three on a seven night cruise - $500-$650 savings is nothing to sneeze at.

     

    We all bemoan the sales - but EVERY thread like this, someone swears they got a deal. This thread - that person is me!

     

    The deals may be few and far between - but you have to try - someday your number may get called.

    And me! 8 night Bahamas out of NJ. I was happy to save! Have a great cruise!
