MSC Cruises special œKids Sail Free holiday offer has proven so popular that the line is extending it to nearly all of its winter 2006-07 Caribbean season sailings.
œThe ˜Kids Sail Free program combined with special promotional rates makes this an incomparable family vacation value and a trip the whole family will never forget, adds Jim Henwood, senior vice president of sales, marketing and passenger services for MSC Cruises (USA).
Youngsters ages 17 and under sharing a stateroom with two full-fare-paying adults sail free on MSC Lirica and MSC Opera on nearly all of the ships roundtrip sailings from Fort Lauderdale. Most cruise-only departures are priced at $1,150 per person (double occupancy) or less. Since a limited number of staterooms are available in conjunction with the œKids Sail Free offer, guests are encouraged to book early.

Since accommodations, onboard meals (featuring authentic Italian dishes, international delights and a childrens menu featuring younger-set favorites such as hamburgers, hot dogs and pizza) and European-style entertainment on the ship is included, Mom and Dad will know the bulk of their vacations cost before setting sail.

Do any of the “kids sale free” offers leave from a NYC port?
I did a quick look at the MSC Web Page, and found a current up-date to their kids Sail Free Promotion. They are offering it on the Lirica and Orchestra for Caribbean sailings, but in my quick glance it doesn’t look like any of the sailings are out of New York.
I’m not exactly sure how the program works. Probably the best way to find out if they have something that would work for you would be to contact them directly and just ask if they have any NY departures that offer the kids sail free promotion.
Please let us know if you find a cruise that works for you.
