megann831 Posted August 21, 2017 #1 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I'm considering going on a cruise while on maternity leave since as a teacher I never get to take advantage of lower off-season rates or less crowded ships. Are there any cruise lines that take babies at 4-6 months? We'd also have a 6 and 8 year olds so we'd need to fit 5 in the room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted August 21, 2017 #2 Share Posted August 21, 2017 When do you want to go? In the winter, Pulmantur sails the Southern Caribbean and they take babies under 6 months. You kinda need to know some Spanish, though. It's possible MSC does not have an age minimum. I have not been able to find one on their website.

cb at sea Posted August 21, 2017 #3 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Most mainstream lines require a child to be 6 mos. on the day the ship leaves.... As far as the cabin, it's going to be quite tight with 5 in a standard cabin...and many ships do NOT have cabins that sleep 5. You would have to get a "family cabin" (which is sort of like a suite), or 2 connecting cabins, which might be a good option. Kids in 1 cabin, adults in the other, with a door directly between the 2 cabins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6rugrats Posted August 21, 2017 #4 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Agree; most cruise lines require your child to be at least six months old. Five in a room would be tight. I would consider looking at an all-inclusive resort with a good kid's program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john watson Posted August 21, 2017 #5 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Most lines have a minimum age of 6 months and many increase this minimum to 12 months where the ship has more than two consecutive sea days in the itinerary. I should carefully look at any prospective cruise lines terms and conditions on this point and other rules relating to children.
