Definition
Package price categories for children sharing their parents' room. CWB (child with bed) means the child gets an extra bed; CNB (child no bed) means they share the existing bed at a lower price. Age bands, usually 2–11 years, are set by each hotel.
How the categories work
| Category | What the child gets | Typical price vs adult |
|---|---|---|
| Infant (under 2) | Shares parents' bed, cot on request | Free or a small fee |
| CNB | No extra bed; usually breakfast and tours | Roughly 40–60% |
| CWB | Extra bed, meals and tours | Roughly 60–85% |
| 12 and over | Treated as an adult by most hotels | Adult price |
Exact ages vary by hotel. Some let children under 5 or 6 share free; others start child rates at 2. The cut-off for adult rates is usually 12, but check.
An example
A Delhi family of four books a 4-night Dubai package. Their 4-year-old sleeps with the parents as CNB, and their 9-year-old takes an extra bed as CWB. One room works because the hotel allows two adults and two children. If both children had been over 12, the hotel would have needed two rooms or a family room.
Points to check
- Maximum occupancy: many hotels allow two adults and one child per room, some two children. Hotels in Singapore and Europe are strict about it.
- What CNB includes: breakfast and tour tickets usually are, but confirm, especially for theme parks and attractions that charge by age or height.
- Flights: children aged 2 and over need their own seat and pay close to the adult fare on most airlines.
Share every child's exact age when you ask for a tour package quote; it can change the room count as well as the price.
