Will I save money with this offer?
They say “beauty is in the eye of the beholder”, and similarly the profitability of a deal depends on who is trying to book it.
The biggest downside to any Kids Sail Free offer are the blackout dates, which significantly hamper many families’ ability to book a cruise that qualifies for the offer.
If you can find a sailing date that isn’t blocked, free sailing deals for kids can absolutely save you money, especially for higher category rooms. Suites, in particular, offer big savings with kids sailing free.
Of course, the Kids Sail Free offer requires the children to be in the same cabin as the parents, so you cannot split up into several rooms and use the offer.
By using a good travel agent you can easily compare and contrast prices between crossings.
