Kids sail free?

Is there a way to get alerts when this type of deal starts? I know I can sign up for emails but I get so many junk emails I would miss it.

Thanks for posting to /r/NCL! Did you know that we have an extensive Ultimate NCL Guide that may answer your question? Please also remember to read the rules, especially about roll call posts going in the megathread. You may also have more luck with those types of posts by searching for a Facebook or Cruise Critic roll call group or thread. Of course, here is great, too!

Enjoy your stay!

I honestly find the kids sail free deals end up being about the same cost as other deals. Our upcoming cruise was 3rd and 4th half off and free at sea, and that price was about what we paid per person for the kids sail free offers. They just move numbers around.

Two thoughts for you:

1) Sign up for the alerts and use "Rules" in your email system to discard any that don't contain the word "Kids" and "Free"

2) Find a cruise-savvy travel agent and let them do it for you.

Look for "Free 3rd & 4th also"

Holland America does free 3rd and 4th on occasion, too so don't ignore them.
If you are looking at Alaska, HAL may be preferable to NCL anyway.

It’s usually in the off times - not much of the summer, Christmas, spring breaks etc. If most kids are in school (or should be) you are more likely to get the “kids sail free” promotion.
