DH and I were planning on going on a giant family cruise with a few other families, which would include 3 kids all under 2. Maybe I was in la la land thinking there is a special kids rate since they don't eat or drink much, and will not really use any of the amenities. Nope! They cost the same as a full grown adult! I mean I understand they have child activity rooms you can too them off at but you have to pay an hourly fee to use those, so what is that full cost fare going towards? It seems outrageous to me that these 3 babies will cost around $2500-3000 alone - how?!?!

I'm just ranting unless someone in the travel industry can possibly enlighten me why they do this. It might kill the trip for us. And here I thought cruises were family friendly an easy. At least kids under 2 fly free. Sigh...
