Since we don't have any KSF in Sweden right now, I can't check. But when I read above, the transatlantic cruises are excluded from the KSF offer?

I just priced out the Indy TA in early May nd the KSF works.

I don't see KSF promotion on the Canadian website. This the promotion I see:

 

  

60% off second guest

+ up to $150 Instant savings

+ up to $100 savings to spend at sea

That's the one we are looking at... But no KSF in Sweden 😞

Use a US TA.  There are plenty that will gladly take your business

Would you be able to take a screen print of the price on Royals site for a guaranteed balcony cabin?
(The American site will re-direct me to the Swedish site.)

Didn’t see a banner either however it did populate the sale when I entered the kids on a mock booking. RCI  I.T at its finest.

Just saw that my cruise is now $500 cheaper due to KSF.  Called TA and the "estimated on hold time" is 71 minutes!😲

Wish me luck...

Oh, so I would just make the booking and by adding my child it will automatically add the promotion?

Yes.  Sometimes the kids selection box is highlighted, but other times it's not.  Yow will see the discount once you go all the way through to the "Who's Traveling" page.

Once you've selected the cruise your interested in after you select the number of cabins you need you'll click continue.

 

You'll go to the next screen and if you see the Kids Sail Free then it's available on that cruise. If not then the promotion is not available on that cruise.

Thanks for the visual.  I'm new at nagivating RCI's website, so not where / how to find stuff like this.

Same cruise and guarantee balcony but for 2 adults only.

Thank you very much Ken! We only have one daughter, but since it's only the tax & fees that differ it would be $2345.32.
I guess that the gratuity will be added on top of this? In Sweden they are always added automatically.

Gratuity would indeed be extra.  $14.50 per day x 3 people x14 days.

Then it's almost the same as we would pay without Kids Sail Free in Sweden.
With KSF in the U.S: 26 737 SEK
Without KSF in Sweden: 27 623 SEK
Difference: 886 SEK ~ $98

KSF doesn't work for our cruises but out of curiosity how does it actually work?  For the fun of it, I priced out our Navigator cruise, but for September (instead of our Aug summer booking) to see the KSF benefit.  

Only one of our kids is under 12, but yet the pricing shows

• Guest 1 = $1169
• Guest 2 = $1169
• Guest 3 = $369
• Guest 4 = $369

Then it shows

Kids Sail Free = $1161

 

I guess in the end its the similar result, but you would think guest 3 (14 years by that date) would be more than guest 4 (10 years by that date - so the "free" one).

 

PS - It looks like too that it only works if all in one room.  I priced out two rooms (2 adults in one room, 1 adult and 1 child in other) and no KSF savings.

KSF only applies to the third and fourth guests in a room as long as they are under 12. (Additional guests in one of the family cabins also qualify)

 

best way way to compare us to do a booking for 2 then do a booking for 2 plus 2 kids and only compare the final prices.

Yes, but only our 4th guest is under 12 years.

So just curious why 3rd guest shows same price.  (But explains though why when price 2 rooms it doesn't show at all)

Just do 2 comparisons and see the difference.  They have a weird way of getting from A to B

[Extra Kim]

3rd and 4th guest never pays the same as the first and second guest. My guess would be that they would pay $738 and that's what you see as $369 on guest 3 and 4.
