We doing 8 night cruise to the South Pacific in April - Royal Caribbean - Rhapsody of the Seas.

It is our first ever cruise, and we're taking 7 month old and 3 year old. We have 2 external (window) rooms which are interconnecting, on deck 3.

The kids club and baby nursery sound good and I'm sure we will use both. Just wondering if anyone can provide advice on any of the following:

Can you request food to be puréed for baby? Or better to pack store-bought food? My baby also eats some finger foods, which I'm sure will be easy to order. Is kids cutlery provided?

Is there fridge, kettle or iron in the room?

What is the air-con temperature like in the rooms i.e. need warm pj's?

Can anyone recommend any shore activities that would suit our young family? I'm not keen to leave baby on board in nursery too often, would prefer to bring her with us. Has anyone used baby carrier at this time of year - is it comfortable with the temp and humidity? Thinking we will just use umbrella stroller.

Are there any beaches with umbrellas, huts etc to provide shade?

Any other handy tips? Thanks :)
