Has anyone gone a cruise with a toddler?

We are planning one for May of 2008. Right around Andrews 2nd Birthday.

Just curious

Re: Has anyone gone a cruise with a toddler?

We went on our fiirst crusie last year when Jenna was 10 months old, we are going again in July when she will be 22 months old.

If you have questions ask away

Re: Has anyone gone a cruise with a toddler?

How was it honestly? Was it difficult to manage?

Andrew will be a week shy of 2 when we go. My parent's are going too so they said if we want to do something crazy on land we can and they will watch him.

Did you at anytime have the ship people watch her? RCL just started with a 6 month-2yr program which I am so excited about

Did you get a crib for her? At that age I have no idea where he will be sleeping.

TIA

We went on Disney so it was very child friendly, the had a great nursery on board but we opted not to use it. Since she was only 10 moths old I really had to bring alot of stuff with me like diapers, wipes, powdered formula, bottles, a bottle brush and drying rack and a small container of dishwashing liquid not to mention a ton of baby food.

We did request a pack and play for the room but she rarely slept in it, it was more for when we were trying to get dressed and needed her in one safe place. She liked sleeping in the bed much better

Just call your cruise line and find out what their policy is regarding the pools. I know most cruise lines with the exception of disney have no pools for children who are not potty trained, even if they are wearing swim diapers
