3rd & 4th person rate - cost more!?

Looking at 7 Day Carnival Glory Dec 30th on Carnival website.

The price for 2 adults is 679 +tax. And the 3rd person (4yo) is 719+tax, 4th person (2yo) is 459+tax.

Why is the 4yo more expensive than the first 2 passengers? Is that normal? I doubt I'll find a "kids sail free" sale for new years, but i didn't think I'd have to pay full price or more for the kids...

Not sure why. I would post this on the Carnival Cruise Line Board.

Seems strange. Have you tried a travel agent?

Just checking prices to see if we can afford, but hopefully will make it to TA soon.

Well, that breaks it down to $589 + tax per person for the 3rd and 4th occupant...still less than $679 (unless that was the total price for 2, and not the "per person" rate) If the 1st 2 people were $340 pp, then book 2 cabins!!!! That would be a great rate!

It happens occasionally, just a matter of how the pricing is entered into the res computer. Perhaps they decided to drop the 1st/2nd passenger rate from $899 and just forgot to adjust the 3rd/4th passenger rate accordingly. It is, however, a valid rate and if you call the cruise line they will not make any adjustment for you. Eventually some adjustment will be made -- either lowering the 3rd/4th passenger rate or again raising the 1st/2nd passenger rate higher.

Sorry, to clarify - it's 679+tax pp for the first 2 adults.
