Do any cruise ships give information regarding fees for a child in same cabin with her grandmother (me) and her mother? Thinking of Hawaii. So far, I have not been successful in getting this information online with any site.

Most major American cruise lines, like Carnival Cruise Lines and Princess Cruises, do not offer special cruise fares for children. That being said, the third and fourth passengers in a cabin receive a discounted fare. For example, we discovered an interior cabin for a 14-day cruise in Hawaii starts at $1,845 for the first two passengers. The third and fourth passengers’ fares are 50 percent off that price, or $922.50. The rates will be lower for the third and fourth passengers, but the rates vary, depending on the cruise, the time the cruise is booked, and other factors. So instead of searching for kid-specific fares, just look at the prices for extra people in the same cabin.
