Child prices on excursions

Hi there.

Only 6 weeks until our first ever cruise and I just wanted to check the cost of the excursions for children. Do they pay full price?

Cheers.

Hi Miss Ritchie,

There is a cut off point for child prices, maybe wrong but I seem to think it is 12. It's a long time since we were buying child prices.

Is it not on the Thomson site under tours?

If there are four of you it usually works out cheaper to hire a taxi or mini-bus for most places in the Med.

Hi Miss Ritchie,

The child prices are normally half of the adult prices.

Hi Rachel,

Thanks for clearing that up, do you know at what age they stop being a child and have to pay full price?

Usefull for answering other post.

Hi Tenpin,

I've just had a look on my excursion guide and the age for children is 2-16.

I hope this helps.

Rachel.

hi rachel , would be interested to know some more details about excursion guide, were on the destiny for two weeks from 26th june and are planning what excursions to do , the cost of the tours is abig factor since there will be three of us , myself my wife and our 12 year old daughter, if we were to do an excurion at each port of call it would cost us a wee fortune so are planning carefully what to do and not..cheers

Thanks Rachel,

This poor old mind get confused sometimes with the different cruise lines, fairly sure Princess is 12 but was'nt sure about Thomson.

I'll put that information in my little black book.

Do you know I've forgotten your phone number could you refresh my mind, No, oh well, just trying but don't tell Mrs T

For further information on the excursions available. If you go onto the Thomson Cruise website and click on itineraries then find the cruise you are taking i.e. Mediterranean Rennaisance, then click on the ports of call - this will let you know all the excursions on offer and the prices which admittedly are adults however I was told that kids are charged just over half of the adult price.

Hope this helps.

P.S. We will be getting off the cruise ship as you are getting on!! We sail from Palma on 19 June. It will be good to see our reviews as it's our first cruise too.
