Cruising using points Questions

[scott.campbell]

Hi Everyone,

We will be cruising with another family next year using points, we intend to pay cash for the kids (8,6,4yr old).

Is anyone aware of the kids cash cost through member services for a 7 night cruise?

Also the other family are 4pts short for the cruise, borrowing is an option - but is anyone aware if you can pay through member services for a shortfall - if so how much.

I intend to phone member services on Monday but I was hoping to get some ballpark answers this weekend as I meet the other family Sunday night to discuss booking.

Hopefully someone can help, if not well no biggy.

Thanks.

Can't help with this one, sorry.

No, you can't pay cash to make up for the shortage. They could pay cash for one person if they wanted (you can't combine points and cash for the same person). They could also find another member to transfer them the 4 points (for a price), but IMHO, the easiest thing to do would be to just borrow the 4 points.

I intend to phone member services on Monday but I was hoping to get some ballpark answers this weekend as I meet the other family Sunday night to discuss booking.

Hopefully someone can help, if not well no biggy.

Have fun planning!

Best wishes -
