ashton57 Posted February 10, 2018 #1 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Was wondering if anyone knows if Carnival ever offers specials where kids sail free? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geovet Posted February 10, 2018 #2 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Not a common sale and when they did the price was jacked up for parents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trirae Posted February 10, 2018 #3 Share Posted February 10, 2018 I could be wrong, but I think the better sale might be the "more the merrier" one where 3rd and 4th guest in the cabin have a reduced rate. We got a great deal with that one once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tallnthensome Posted February 10, 2018 #4 Share Posted February 10, 2018 MSC, kids sail free and NCL have third and fourth guest specials. Not so much of any specials on Carnival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geovet Posted February 10, 2018 #5 Share Posted February 10, 2018 I agree that mor the merrier rate can be a good rate. I find that you need to look at the final complete charge to see if it’s works well for your family regardless of line or sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salty dingo Posted February 10, 2018 #6 Share Posted February 10, 2018 That would be a great way to ensure the ship was packed to the gills with kids! Maybe for select sailings they could do this... in the summer when school is out. But hopefully there will also be cruises where kids are few and far between.

ashton57 Posted February 10, 2018 Author #7 Share Posted February 10, 2018 When do they normally run the “more the merrier” specials? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaytonCruiser Posted February 10, 2018 #8 Share Posted February 10, 2018 When do they normally run the “more the merrier” specials? They ran it last month, not sure when it will pop up again. They do these sails based on trying to fill capacity. This is the T&C of More the Merrier,which indicates when it was last offered Carnival reserves the right to offer promotional cruise fares that require a minimum occupancy requirement per cabin. When the booked cruise fare is contingent to a minimum occupancy requirement per cabin, cancellation of one or more guests in a cabin may cause a re-adjustment of the guests booked cruise fare according to the prevailing and eligible rate. Final payment in full of the recalculated fares for all remaining guests in a cabin is due by 11:59:59 p.m. on the eve before the start of the cancellation penalty period. Failure to make timely final payment in full of the recalculated fares for all remaining guests in a cabin will result in automatic cancellation of the reservation for the entire cabin. Offer is non-transferable and has no cash value. Cruise rates are in U.S. dollars, per person and based on triple and quad occupancy. Offer is capacity controlled and is not combinable with any other discount or promotional offer. Rates may vary by ship, stateroom type and sail date. Changes made to the reservation may result in the assessment of cancellation penalties or service fees. Category restrictions and exclusions apply. Carnival reserves the right to withdraw and/or change offer at any time without prior notice. Offer is for the cruise fare only and does not include Taxes, Fees and Port Expenses. Taxes, Fees and Port Expenses range from $56.90 to $359.73, and are assessed on a per guest basis for all guests according to the itinerary. Offer is applicable in guarantee categories IS/OV/BL only. Guests who select the oceanview, balcony or suite stateroom types may be assigned partially to fully obstructed views. Carnival will assign the stateroom at a later time. Subsequent upgrades in lieu of price protection will no longer be offered. Cancellation penalties apply. Group bookings are supported. Amenities are must buy up. Offer is applicable on select sailings through Spring 2018. Offer is applicable on new bookings made between January 9, 2018 – January 11, 2018. Please request rate code PMP.

Rare Tapi Posted February 11, 2018 #12 Share Posted February 11, 2018 The only time I’ve seen (and taken advantage of) REAL kids sail free promotions where the cruise line doesn’t jack up the fare for the 1st and 2nd guest have been on Holland America and MSC. Thanks to these promotions we sailed for considerably less than on Carnival on these two cruise lines. We are sailing again on MSC this year in big part because our kids will be sailing for free again. In all of my years of cruising, I’ve never seen Carnival offer such a promotion, and even though Royal Caribbean and Norwegian have offered their own version of a kids sail free promotion, the savings were not substantial because you’d have to pay a higher fare for the first two passengers in the stateroom.
