how can i figure out cost for 2A / 2K based on 2A pricing ??

[CanuckOnaBoat]

is there some sort of formula to figure out the cost of 2 adults and 2 kids - if i only have info on 2 adult pricing? I just need a rough idea... thank you!

Not real specific but there's this:
How Disney Cruise Line Pricing Works
All cruises are priced based on two adults in the stateroom. So, even if you are one adult traveling with a child, the price is the same as if there were two adults in the stateroom. After the two adult price, the third and fourth passenger in the stateroom are charged a lower rate. If you are traveling alone, DCL will charge you 100% of the second adult's cruise fare (not including port fees and taxes) in addition to the full fare for the first adult.

**NOTE** Teenagers will be Charged adult fares (13-17). Child rates apply to ages 3-12. Children ages 0-2 pay 50% of the child rate.
This does not impact access to areas of the ship that are designated as "18 and over" (like the Spa, Adults only pool, and Palo).

I did a test booking for 2 adults $1280.00 per adult
one child age 14 $675.00 (50% of adult price)
one child age 2 $386.50 (50% of child price)

Just curious as this confused me (and with a kiddo who's 10, obviously need to figure out how many cruises we need to try and get in before they turn 13 )

If teenagers 13-17 are charged the adult fare, then wouldn't that 14yo be at $1280 too? Or is there another aspect of them being the 3rd passenger in the cabin that I don't grock?

The fare for a third adult in a stateroom is not the same as the fare for the first two (adult) passengers in the stateroom. After all, you’re basically paying for food and ship amenities, since the marginal cost of accommodation in the stateroom is very low. If the third and fourth 13-17 year old passengers were to cost as much as a full adult fare, it might be sensible to book another stateroom in many cases.

Basically, there are four pricing tiers:
-first two passengers pay full adult fare (tier 1)
-additional adult passengers pay reduced fare (this tier includes 13-17 year olds as well as anyone 18 or older added to the stateroom) (tier 2)
-children 3-12 inclusive pay child fare (tier 3)
-children 0-2 inclusive pay 50% of the child fare (tier 4). Note also that DCL actually restricts children under 6 months from cruising at all and this increases to 1 year of age for Hawaii, Transatlantic, and Panama Canal cruises.

That's what I thought, also. But when I did a mock booking saying my kids were 14 and 2 that's the prices I got. I believe that information re: 13-17 year olds might be old. That particular site doesn't update it's info very often

BUT, the 14 year old would be the 3rd adult, and, as noted, a 3rd person is cheaper, regardless of age.
