Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Kids Sail Free + 60% off 2nd guest deal work?
Here's the math breakdown: Adult 1 pays full price ($999 for 7-night cruise). Adult 2 gets 60% OFF ($999 × 40% = $400). Kids 3 & 4 are 100% FREE ($0). Total for family of 4: $999 + $400 + $0 + $0 = $1,399 for 7-night Caribbean cruise. That's only $350 per person for a week-long vacation! For 3-night Bahamas: Adult 1 = $349, Adult 2 = $140 (60% off), Kids = $0. Family total: $489 ($122 per person!). You still pay port fees/taxes for everyone ($50-150pp) and gratuities ($16/day per person), but the base cruise fare for kids is ZERO. This is the best family cruise deal of 2025!
What ages qualify for Kids Sail Free?
Kids Sail Free applies to 3rd and 4th guests in a cabin, regardless of age. Typically this means: children, teens, or even young adults up to 24 years old living at home. The "kids" can be infants (6+ months old), toddlers, school-age children, or teenagers. Two adults must be in the cabin as 1st and 2nd guests. If you have more than 2 kids, book a connecting cabin or family suite. Infants under 6 months are not allowed on most cruises (12 months for transatlantic). Solo parents with kids: the parent is guest 1, and kids are guests 2/3/4 (so one kid gets 60% off, others are free).
Which Royal Caribbean ships have the Kids Sail Free deal?
Most Royal Caribbean ships sailing the Caribbean in 2025 offer this deal! Best ships for families: Icon of the Seas (world's largest cruise ship, incredible water park), Wonder of the Seas (pools, slides, Ultimate Abyss slide), Oasis of the Seas (zip line, aqua theater), Freedom of the Seas (from Cape Liberty NJ, great for driving), Harmony of the Seas (waterslides, FlowRider, kids clubs), Adventure of the Seas (rock climbing, mini golf). All these ships feature multi-story waterslides, splash parks, kids clubs for ages 3-17, teen lounges, arcade, and family-friendly dining. We help you choose the right ship based on your kids" ages and interests.
Can I sail from New Jersey with Kids Sail Free?
YES! Royal Caribbean sails from Cape Liberty Cruise Port in Bayonne, NJ (Exit 14A on NJ Turnpike, 30 minutes from Newark). The Freedom of the Seas offers Kids Sail Free on sailings from Cape Liberty to Bahamas and Caribbean. This is PERFECT for Essex County families - you can drive to the port and avoid flight costs entirely! Park your car at the port ($20/day), board your ship, and sail away. No airport hassles, no flight delays, no baggage fees. Many New Jersey families prefer driving to Cape Liberty over flying to Florida. We also book Florida departures with flight packages from Newark Airport (EWR) if you want more ship options.
What is included free for kids on Royal Caribbean?
TONS of stuff! All main dining room meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner) - kids eat free all week. Complimentary room service (perfect for picky eaters). Kids clubs: Adventure Ocean programs for ages 3-17 with supervised activities, crafts, games, and themed parties. Pools and waterslides: all included, no extra fees. Entertainment: Broadway shows, movies, ice skating shows, diving shows. Sports: rock climbing, mini golf, basketball, FlowRider surfing (on select ships). Teen lounges with video games. What costs extra: Specialty restaurants ($15-45pp), soda/juice packages ($8-15/day), arcade games, shore excursions, and photos. But the FREE stuff is more than enough to keep kids happy!
Should we book a balcony cabin or inside cabin for our family?
For families, we usually recommend: Balcony cabin if you have young kids (2-6 years old) - they can nap in the cabin during the day while you relax on the balcony. Inside cabin if kids are older (7+) - you'll barely be in the room because you're using the ship's activities. Save $400-800 on inside cabin and spend it on excursions! Family suites or connecting cabins if you have 3+ kids or traveling with grandparents. The best value for Kids Sail Free: Book an inside cabin (cheapest), which makes the total family cost incredibly low. Example: Inside cabin 7-night = $649 adult 1 + $260 adult 2 + $0 kids = $909 for family of 4. That's INSANE value! We help you decide based on your family's needs.
Can we book multiple cabins if we have more than 2 kids?
Yes! Options for large families: (1) Book 2 connecting inside cabins - each cabin gets Kids Sail Free for 2 kids, so family of 6 could be: Cabin 1: 2 adults + 2 kids (60% off + free). Cabin 2: Grandparents + 2 more kids (60% off + free). (2) Book a Family Suite - sleeps up to 6 with separate bedroom, living area, and often 2 bathrooms. Kids Sail Free applies. (3) Book a Junior Suite - sleeps 4-5 with more space than standard cabin. For families of 5: Book one cabin with 2 adults + 3 kids. Adult 1 full price, Adult 2 gets 60% off, Kids 3/4 free, Kid 5 gets 60% off. Still a great deal! We'll configure the best cabin setup for your family size and budget.
What if our kids are picky eaters?
Royal Caribbean is EXCELLENT for picky eaters! Main dining room: always has kid favorites like chicken fingers, burgers, mac and cheese, pizza, fries, pasta. Windjammer buffet: huge variety so picky kids find something. Kids can eat pizza and burgers all day if they want! Johnny Rockets (extra fee): 50s-style diner with burgers and shakes. Room service: free 24/7 - order plain grilled cheese, PB&J, fruit at 2am if needed. Special dietary needs: allergic to gluten, dairy, nuts? Inform us at booking and the ship accommodates. Pro tip: Don't force kids to try new foods - let them enjoy what they like. There's so much variety that even the pickiest eaters find favorites. Many parents say their kids ate BETTER on the cruise than at home!
How far in advance should we book Kids Sail Free cruises?
Book 6-12 months in advance for best selection! Here's why: (1) Kids Sail Free has limited spots per sailing (inventory restricted). (2) Connecting cabins and family suites sell out first. (3) Spring Break weeks (March) book 9-12 months ahead. (4) Summer vacation (June-August) books 6-9 months ahead. (5) Popular ships (Icon, Wonder, Oasis) fill faster. (6) Cabin prices INCREASE as ships fill. (7) Only $200 deposit to hold your cabin, pay balance 90 days before sailing. We sometimes find last-minute deals in October, January, or May (off-peak), but you risk no availability. For peace of mind and best prices, book early!
Is travel insurance worth it for a family cruise?
YES, especially with kids! Here's why: Kids get sick unexpectedly - ear infections, stomach bugs, fevers. If your child is sick the day before the cruise, you forfeit $2,000+ without insurance. Flight delays with kids are stressful - insurance covers hotel and rebooking if you miss the ship. Medical emergencies onboard - insurance covers medical care and evacuation (cruise ship medical care is expensive!). Trip interruption - if you need to fly home mid-cruise due to family emergency, insurance covers costs. Cost: $150-300 for family of 4 (about 5-10% of trip cost). We offer comprehensive cruise insurance through trusted providers. Given that Kids Sail Free makes the cruise super affordable, protect your investment with insurance. One sick child should not cost you $2,000!
