Cruise excursions w a toddler

Next year we are taking my 3 year old on a cruise
We are going to Disney as one of the ports

My question is, there is a coach bus from the cruise port to Disney which is about an hour or more bus ride
How have you traveled w your toddler? They do not provide car seats

I am not even sure how the seat belts are on a coach bus either

Please help

The Disney bus to the port has seatbelts. They are lap/shoulder belts.

I've done this with 2 young kids. One was on my lap for the ride. I'm pretty sure the other wore a lap seatbelt.
Can't comment on the safety of it... but we had a great time! We also went without strollers (you may want to check if strollers are allowed).

Ohh, I didn't realize you were going on RC, I thought you were going on Disney. I have no idea how their buses are. They aren't Disney buses, I do know that, since Disney only transports people from their own cruises.

We didn't bring ours... but, yes, I meant the bus... but it may be because we didn't bring them on the cruise. Either way, doing Disney without a stroller with 2 young kids was doable (surprisingly more than what you'd think).

We went on Carnival. Had a solid 6 hours in the park and had a great time!!!

We did this recently. We actually rented a car and drove to Disney. It was so much easier and we could come and go and we pleased.

The only thing about this is that if you miss the boat, you miss the boat, literally.

My DS was older but we did the excursion to Universal and we took the bus they offered. It was a coach bus, I don't remember seeing anyone with car seats or strollers.

My dad books almost everything on his own on vacations but he didn't want the stress of missing the boat because of traffic, etc, if you are on their transportation, you are in better shape

I would def take the excusion w RC for that reason alone. They do not allow strollers? what did you use or do?
