as it is right now... carnival ships sail at full capacity... so until that changes I am sure they will continue to charge for infants.... and parents will have to make the choice if they want to cruise or not.... but I think carnival makes more money on people who are not with infants...because I would think that when the baby goes to sleep they would be in the cabin with the baby... while without a baby people tend to stay up later and spend more onboard. but I could be wrong.

We are taking our son and his gf with their baby in December on the Valor, she will be 11 months old. Carnival charged us $72.00 for her cruise but the tax and port charges are $289.00 the most she will eat is a bit of juice, milk and maybe cherios! We are bringing her food, I think carnival should rethink charging for small children, they might get more crusers in the end and make more money!

they do not give infants a break.... they start to charge them at 6 months which is the youngest they are allowed to cruise.

check with MSC they are suppose to let kids sail free

I think Disney may also.

At what age do you get charged for an infant? how much? We are setting up our cruise and they quoted me a regular charge for bringing my 7 month old daughter?

She doesnt eat "normal" food, shes on formula, so she doesnt drink cow's milk, and she would be sleeping with us in our bed, so why would I be charged for my infant?
