Hi Irene,

This is another Ray, not me. Another mistake by you. Kind of like you
thought rec.travel.cruises was a "Google Group". Kind of like you
thought you could sell Celebrity through your card mill host.
BTW, I will await your public apology. :+)

Best regards,
Ray

In her own way she is giving you the credit by acknowledging that there is

[Default] Thus spake "Ray" :


Gack, read your subject line. I almost choked.

My wife and I are looking at a Bermuda cruise on Royal Caribbean. The price
is $749/pp. We have a 1 year old. Does she pay full price, a reduced rate,
or is she free? (Somehow, I don't think "free" is a real option)

Cruise? Free?


Also, the $749 price is for an oceanview cabin. Will Royal Carib provide a
crib and will it fit in one of those cabins? I know they are tight to begin
with, so I'm wondering if we'd have to go with a larger cabin (at a higher
price) to make this work.

The price will probably be somewhere in the order of $300 or so. It
will be "full price", but the price of a 3rd/4th. If she was only
going with your wife, they would each pay the $749.

You do know that there are taxes and fees on top of that $749, right?


Thanks

Ray,

That is a very good question. However, why not go right to the source itself
for the correct answer, instead of reading through threads from some of
those not quite sure. Here is the contact information... Royal Caribbean
International: 800-327-6700 or www.royalcaribbean.com. Since Royal Caribbean
International does not allow discounting, and like most of the other cruise
lines today, individual bookings are welcome and without the assistance of a
travel agent. Besides, doing so personally will afford you the opportunity
to answer any personal questions about your family if the cruise line needs
it for some reason.

Happy sailing...

Just to close out this thread, we did end up doing that. I just posted the
question here late Saturday night hoping I'd have some info Sunday morning
before we called.

Turns out RC would have charged $549 (which is the 3rd person cabin rate).
We looked at some other similar cruises on other lines and Norwegian will
only charge us about $200 for her (flat rate for kids under 2, I believe).
But, I did get a call from RC today asking if we had any more questions
about the cruise we called about on Sunday. When I explained that RC was
going to charge $549 and another line was only charging $200, the rep
understood and was apologetic. She also said that RC had been receiving
complaints about that policy.

Then I told the rep that we probably wouldn't be cruising with them again
until my daughter was older and we could justify their charge. Again, she
understood and told us to come back to them when my daughter turns 3. She
also said that RC has the best kids programs out there. I told her that we
would give them a chance to make it up to us. It was a pleasant call on
both ends and I would definitely consider RC in the future.

Enjoy NCL.
They know what their cruises are worth, and as a
One year old your daughter won't mind the level of
service that you folks receive one bit.

On Royal Caribbean, they have to be 3 yrs old and they must be potty
trained. The children's program on Carnival begins when they are 2, so
you may want to give Carnival a try, first.

Keep reading the newsgroup, you can learn a lot here.

You might want to consider MSC Cruises. They have some new ships and they do
some nice 7 day Carib Cruises. Most importantly there is no charge for children
under 17 years of age.
