CRUISES

What is not included in the final price?
Your cruise price does not include organized shore excursions, alcoholic beverages or carbonated soft drinks, photographs, gratuities, spa and beauty treatments, medical services, casino expenditures or other miscellaneous items you may purchase on board. Airfare, airport transfers, and insurance are also usually not included.

Do children sail free or at a discount?
Most cruise lines do not offer discounts for children. The major exception is Disney Cruise Line. On Disney ships (with 2 full-fare adults sailing), children under the age of 3 are charged only port fees and taxes; children ages 3-12 sail at a discounted children’s rate plus port charges and taxes; children over the age of 12 sail at 3rd/4th passenger rate plus port charges and taxes.

Norwegian Cruise Line also lets children under 2 sail for port charges and taxes only; Holland America Line charges $250 plus port charges and taxes for children under 18 years old for a majority of their sailings.
