Thanks for the replies, with your help, I think I worked it out.

I investigated a little further, the price with kids is near spot on if you were to book a cabin with 2 Adults, twin share. I believe this where they then tack on the Kids Cruise Free as once you add the kids, you change to a Quad share room but at the cost 2 Adults in twin share, which is obviously more expensive that 4 Adults and then halving the cost.

Between their FB Chat and Phone Rep, I wish they had just told me straight up how it was calculated but I guess that might start some unwanted arguments.

Hi All,

Wife and I were looking to try and take the kids on a cruise after we both enjoyed a recent 4 night cruise on the Carnival Spirit. We saw the Kids Cruise Free promotion with P&O and started having a look on the website.

Found a 7 night cruise out of Brisbane and punched in the numbers, 2 Adults, 2 Kids and selected the Value pack so that Kids Cruise Free promotion was applied. Price was around $600pp (using even numbers to keep it simple). Checked the total and it was $2400. Assumed the website had not calculated correctly and reloaded the page. This time, punched in 4 adults and it came to $2400, changed the kids section to include two kids under 12 and checked the price, still $2400.

Decided that website is not playing ball and rang the Reservations line, asked for a price for the same cruise with same 2 Adults and 2 kids config. Again, price came to close to the $2400 mark.

Queried the gentlemen that was assisting about how it was calculated but he was reluctant to go into how it works out the price and said that its probably a glitch with the website. Pointed out his price was very similar... Asked again and he suggested I look at another sale they currently have running.

Am I missing something on how the calculation is made? Still new to cruising so apologies if this has been pointed out previously.

Cheers,
