Cruising with a toddler?

I love cruising and I want to go on another one with our DD. Do cruise ships have baby sitting? Anyone of you ladies ever use it? Any ideas on what ship we should take? TIAChat Icon

I love cruising and I want to go on another one with our DD. Do cruise ships have baby sitting?
Most do, but they have age restrictions so I would check out what they are for each line.

Anyone of you ladies ever use it? No. We had family with us, and they babysat for us.

Any ideas on what ship we should take?
It depends upon where you want to go, your budget, and the type of cruiser you are. For little kids I have heard wonderful things about Disney. RC is now adding Shrek characters. NCL has freestyle dining which is great for parents of little ones. We just took Celebrity, and I was really pleasantly surprised at how accommodating they were to us.

We went on the Carnival Miracle out of NY with Andrew when he was 2 weeks shy of 2. We had the time of our life!!

He had to be 2 to be in Camp Carnival so we did use the Babysitting they had. It was set times when the camp was not in session. It was fantastic! It was clean, the ladies were sooo nice and they give a phone so that you can call them or they can call you if they need to.

We loved it so much we are going again next yr on the same ship and now we will have Alexa and my sister is coming with her daughter. This time they all will be old enough for the Camp which is free. I am so excited. They do some great things.

I highly rec cruisecritic.com and go to the families section. They can help you a great deal.

I also started a cruise blog type site but it is only geared towards the Miracle.

I posted about it a few days agoChat Icon Chat Icon
