Adult vs. Child cost

[triciasrv]

When is a child not considered a child? I am cruising with twin 14 year-olds and a 6.5 year-old. When I look at the cost of excursion, the cost for the two 14 year-olds is the same as the cost of an adult. At which age does a child become an adult? They are not going to drink alcohol, so being charged for an adult beverage on an excursion does not make sense.

 

Thank you for the clarification!

The excursion should have the parameters for child pricing vs. adults. What type of excursion is it?

All of the Carnival excursions bump them up to adult. I also want to make sure I know the age for when the 6.5 year-old makes the age change.

 

I did see on a non-Carnival excursion that there were ages listed for adult vs. child cost.

Found it!!!

 

Under the ? by 'prices starting from' on the excursion list it states that the child age is 4-12.

Yeah usually by age 14 they are paying the same as an adult.

Most everywhere, not just on a cruise. At Disney World, age 10 and above is considered an "adult" (price wise). :eek:

Oh I know it. We've been paying adult fares for flights since our kids were 2. And we felt the difference in our Disney trip last year from 3 years prior when the youngest still able to get in free. Lol

I can't drink alcohol either. Since being charged for an adult beverage does not make sense for me either, at 65 I would be able to pay a child's price. I like your thinking.

What country are you talking about for the excursion? They are old enough to drink alcohol in some of the countries cruise ships visit. Also, many local laws allow a minor to drink in the company of a parent.

There's usually non-alcoholic drinks available. In some countries those are seem to be expensive.
