when I made the booking, it didn't showed the blank for children under 5 (which is free of charge) so we couldn't and did not know we should make the booking for our 2 infants. When we check in on spot, we almost couldn't go for both trips. But luckly, there were 2 people didn't show and we could go at the last second. I felt very bad when waiting and our trip almost got cancled.
