Kids Sail Free FAQs

ROYAL CARIBBEAN DEAL RIGHT NOW: ​

Right now you can take advantage of a Royal Caribbean sale where the second guest sails for 60% off and kids sail free!!

​Royal Caribbean Kids Sail Free Promotion
​Frequently Asked Questions:

What is the age limit for kids sail free sale on royal?

Royal Caribbean considers anyone aged 12 or younger to be a child. During the Kids Sail Free promotion, as long as you are not booking one of the excluded dates, your kids 12 and under will sail free! 

Kids sail free is not working - why?!

If the Kids Sail Free promotion doesn't seem to be working, it could be that the child's age at the time of sailing is above 12. Also, you may be trying to book a sailing that is excluded. The kids sail free promotion may have ended (don't worry, it will come back!)

Also important to note, the kids sail free promotion is limited to triple, quad, and family occupancy bookings. This means that in a double occupancy stateroom of 2 people consisting of one parent and one child under 12, the child will not sail free. There need to be 2 paying passengers before a child sails free. Very often the kids sail free promotion is coupled with one like you see here "Second passenger 60% off" so if there is 1 parent and 1 child then the child would be 60% off in that case.

Kids Sail Free Cabin Occupancy Sample Scenarios:


Double occupancy - 1 adult, 1 child under 12 - child will not sail free. 
Triple occupancy - 1 adult, 2 children under 12 - one child will sail free
Triple occupancy - 2 adults, 1 child under 12 -  child will sail free
Quad occupancy - 2 adults, 2 children under 12 - 2 children will sail free
Quad occupancy - 1 adult, 3 children under 12 - 2 children will sail free 

Your Royal Caribbean Travel Agent can ensure you're getting the best rate for your family cruise! 
​

Is 'kids sail free' not really free?

I recently booked a family with a child under 12 on Symphony of the Seas during a Kids Sail Free deal and their daughter paid $0 in cruise fare. Taxes and port fees are required for every passenger, so that still needs paid for each child under 12, but as far as the actual "cruise fare" is concerned, it is free.


​Do babies sail free on royal caribbean?

Infants and children are paying passengers on Royal Caribbean. Your best bet is to wait for a great sale like the kids sail free promo. 

The minimum age for a passenger on Royal Caribbean is 6 months old. You cannot sail with a baby under 6 months old. On embarkation day your child must be at least 6 months old. 
​

what are the 2025 kids sail free cruise dates?

There are tons of cruise dates in 2025 that qualify for the Kids Sale Free promotion! It's probably easier to check the section below which notes the dates which are excluded from the kids sail free deal. 

How can i get extra royal caribbean onboard credit?

  • Travel With Your Group - up to $100 bonus onboard credit​
  • Shareholder - up to $250 bonus onboard credit ($1000 for world cruises!)
    ​

Helping My Alaska Cruise Clients (& you!) Get Free Flights | Marissa Books Travel Blog

your visit to this page made me smile! 。◕‿◕。

​Over the past month I have had the privilege to work with a lovely family on a very special Alaska cruise to celebrate a 50th wedding anniversary - isn't that amazing?!  

​What a great way to honor such a landmark and truly inspirational example of working hard to preserve this sacred union. :) 
​
While the cruise is still more than a year out and it's too early to book flights, I decided to take a proactive peak at what the prevailing rates were for this year so I could match my clients with a money-saving strategy that worked for them. 
​
I quickly realized that Southwest Airlines does not fly into Anchorage, where their cruise will depart. However, my old standby United sure does! ;) 

As you can see below, I did a search paying with miles instead of money and there is potentially for flights at 15k + 5.60 taxes/fees. :)

United Award Flights Nashville to Anchorage 15,000 miles
Since my client has 5 travelers, at 15k per person we need 75k miles or corresponding points to get them free flights from Nashville to Anchorage Alaska (BNA - ANC) for their Alaska Anniversary Cruise!

The United card is one I highly recommend, but in this case I recommended it along with an alternative (actually my top favorite travel card!) because there is a limited time offer of a 75,000 point sign up bonus with this card right now. It's rare to see the bonus tip over 60k so this is perfect timing! These universal travel points can be transferred to United at a 1:1 ratio. Meaning my clients have a very real potential of getting all 5 of their flights free if they choose to take advantage of this offer! 


•> SEE OUR CURRENT TRAVEL BONUS RECOMMENDATIONS HERE! <•


How Much My Clients Can Save

The cash price of these flights was $354 so multiply that by 5 people and my clients have the potential to save +/- $1770 on their flights one way! Of course they do have a flight home to think about. And guess what? They could take advantage of another bonus to cover that one too ;) 

This is a huge advantage of booking travel early. You have time to take advantage of these opportunities at a reasonable pace. ;) This is also the advantage of booking with a travel agent who loves travel and can help you find out-of-the-box ways to save on your trip! :)

Related timeless Wisdom

  • Who of you wanting to build a tower does not first sit down and calculate the expense to see if he has enough to complete it? Otherwise, he might lay its foundation but not be able to finish it, and all the onlookers would start to ridicule him, saying: ‘This man started to build but was not able to finish.  (Proverbs 22:7)

  • ​The borrower is slave to the lender. (Proverbs 21:17)

    ​Basically, taking advantage of these opportunities requires planning and responsible credit card use. If you cannot meet the threshold to receive the bonus, or you cannot pay the balance of your card each month then it's not wise to try this because the amount of fees you will incur will far outweigh the "benefits".

    However, if you are in a position to leverage these opportunities financially it can really open up opportunities for you to enjoy both "a handful of rest" and display a "Here I Am! Send Me!" spirit. ;)
