Does Grandson have to pay full adult rate if he stays in the same room with his parents. (the third person) on cruise in May 2013?

Yes. And full gratuities as well.

Yes he does.

 

In regards to the gratuities, unless they have recently changed it, my son was 18 months when we sailed in September and he was NOT automatically charged for them. We were free to add them our self, of course, but they were not added.

Why not? I've always found that the servers in the dining room and the room stewards really go out of their way for kids - and who had to deal with the stinky diapers? I think one should tip MORE for kids.

I didn't say that they don't deserve them. Just that they weren't automatically added for under 2s.

That depends on the cruise line.

Sorry - it appeared that you said they were not added by you. Other lines definitely do add/expect them.

It's okay. We didn't add them on the account but we did leave a pretty size able cash tip to both the room steward & our wait staff :)

We were with our 22 month old on NCL Pearl over New Years and she was one of the last "free" under 2s so she just paid taxes and port. They also did not automatically add her tips to the account. That was up to us to do.
