Without pictures of the plants it is hard to tell what might be wrong...as long as they are still green (or what ever color they are suppose to be) they should be OK...the new offshoots will take 1-3 years to flower...they can even be transplanted without roots on them...the roots will develop over a period of time if watered properly...more than likely your problem is watering frequency...Plants die from too frequent waterings, not from how much water you give them at one time...Also letting them go too dry between waterings can cause death...Usually most plants die from improper watering technique...Plants inside need to be watered less frequently than plants outside...

try watering this way...water by weight...Check how much the plant weighs when thoroughly watered VS its' weight when it is ready to be watered again. Sometimes it helps to put a saucer under the pot and let the plant sit in water for 10-15 minutes. Pick the pot up and feel how heavy it is after watering it thoroughly. Don't water it again until it feels considerably lighter and the top of the soil is light in color. Depending on plant types, sunlight exposure and pot size plants will need water at many different rates (1-2 times a day to once a month or more)...Bromeliads like bright light but not direct sun unless it is morning sun...
Hope this helps...Let me know what you think...
