whenthecatsaway Posted September 13, 2014 #1 Share Posted September 13, 2014 (edited) Would be really interested in taking advantage for this type of deal for DW and I and our 3 small people. Aiming for 2016 as my twins will be 2 in May 2016 and then we'd have to pay airfare for them 😩. Does anyone know When might those fares be out/when that promotion might be on?

Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app RCI has this promotion going on right now - here is link for details. You need to sail by May 2016. http://www.royalcaribbean.com/contentWithGallery.do?icid=chc_gs_tctclp_thr_hm_cntntr_2334&pagename=august2014_three_ways_save#friends Sent from my iPad using Cruise Critic Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted September 13, 2014 #3 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Keep in mind that those kids sailing free have to be sharing your cabin...or a cabin with two full fare passengers. So since you will have three little people, you need to be looking at cruise lines that have cabins that will accommodate five. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whenthecatsaway Posted September 14, 2014 Author #4 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Have a family Oceanview booked on RCI for October 2015. Will give them a call and see if they can sort something similar for us. Can't see any mention of Kids Sail free on the website though 😳 Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see any mention of Kids Sail free on the website though 😳 Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app I wonder if it's only being offered in US. When you click on link, is there an offer for friends and family sail free? When I click on the link, this is second offer shown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SadieN Posted September 14, 2014 #9 Share Posted September 14, 2014 It says 'Select Dates' Quite possible mot going to work for heavy travel seasons, like spring break time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennAngel9 Posted September 14, 2014 #10 Share Posted September 14, 2014 The offer indicates that 3rd, 4th & 5th passengers sail free. Has anybody ever tried this in a suite? I don't see anything saying that certain room categories are excluded. It seems to me that for a trip with our in laws and infant, a 2 bedroom suite with 60% of our party sailing free might actually be cheaper than two mini-suites.

On the last KSF promotion, I priced out a GS and my son was priced as zero cost - just port fees.

Sent from my iPad using Cruise Critic Forums mobile app Thanks RSLeesburg. Just tried it and it does appear that 3rd & 4th guests were zero on some of the full suite options, but also told me I could not book the 2 bedroom family suite online, which I suspect isn't eligible for the promotion. Since we don't have a set sailing date and the promotion ends tomorrow, I suspect we'll miss this offer. Is anybody aware of a site/service/blog/etc. that notifies you when you can get 3rd guest free on various lines? We were hoping to do an Alaska cruise with Celebrity next year, but can't justify going from 4k to 6k (or worse!) to bring along a 6mo old.

Tatka Posted September 15, 2014 #14 Share Posted September 15, 2014 MSC has kids sail free program. I think it is standard for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The minimum to book those cabins is 5 people. So, the cruise line has you call in to ensure this. They release those cabins to everyone else a few days before sailing. We currently have a family oceanview booked. 6 of us in the room (myself, husband, sister, 4 year old, 2 year old, and 9 month old). Came out to less than $3,000 for all of us, including gratuities. We're hoping the price of the suites come down so that we can snag one....or even better, get upgraded to one! [emoji6] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whenthecatsaway Posted September 15, 2014 Author #16 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Happy to book over the phone but would still need to know when the Kids sail Free promotion is being offered to UK residents. Looking forward to our first cruise on The Vision next October since our party of three became a party of five. Have a family Oceanview booked for that so really looking forward to it ☺️ Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, we took our first cruise last year on Grandeur, which is also a Vision class ship.
