Family cabins. How does it work?
Apr 2024
Cruises have become one of the most popular forms of travel for families with children. This is because families can use the ship as a wonderful attraction for their little ones, who are never bored on board. At the same time, parents can find moments of relaxation and entertainment through evening shows, exploring new destinations, sports facilities, and endless views.
However, there is an issue that families need to address. It concerns the availability of cabins with three and four beds. The number of these cabins on each ship is limited, and as a result, they are the first to fill up, especially during peak season. Later on, people search in vain for a cabin, as all are already booked.
Nevertheless, there is a simple solution to this problem, and we will present it to you.
Start planning your cruises well in advance. According to current trends, you have the opportunity to get a better price compared to waiting until the last minute, when cabins are significantly more expensive or unavailable, or only expensive cabins like suites are left. Many people are unaware that even if they book their cruise six months in advance, under current cancellation conditions, they have the option to cancel the cruise 60 days before departure, paying a fee of 50 euros per person. This means risking the loss of 200 euros for a family of four, but on the other hand, you have the opportunity to choose exactly what you need six months or a year in advance, without restrictions.
Another option is Costa Cruises' policy, which offers a Family Plan. This means that if a family opts for two cabins - one for parents and one for children - the children's cabin can be significantly cheaper than if you were to buy it separately and sometimes even cheaper than if you were to buy a cabin for four people.
To illustrate:
Costa Pacifica 07-07-2024 from Savona
The Interior Cabin with four beds I1 costs 3578 euros, including port taxes. If parents choose the FAMILY PLAN, which means 2x Interior Cabins I1, the price is 2756 euros. This means that, instead of one cabin, the family has two cabins and saves 822 euros, also gaining greater comfort.
It should be noted that these cabins are not always next to each other and depend on cabin availability. Of course, if customers choose a category where they can select the cabin number, these cabins can be chosen to be as close to each other as possible.
So, if you are looking for a cabin for 4 people and can't find anything, don't hesitate to write to us, and we will help you choose two cabins at a more advantageous price. The Family plan can have various combinations. For example, parents can have a balcony cabin, but the children's cabin must always be interior, without windows.
So, if you haven't booked a cruise for this summer yet, no problem, write to us, and we will find you the best offer.
