I am sure this has been asked before, but I am struggling to find a way to "search" under the forum to find this family cruise section successfully, so forgive me.
My hubby and I are experienced cruisers but have never gone with kids in tow.
We will have two staterooms: 1 balcony + 1 interior, which is directly across. It will be myself, DH 13 y/o son and the almost 2 y/o son.
I was wondering if it would make sense to use a toddler rail on one of the twins in the interior with the teen and a baby monitor (non-WIFI, which we will bring), or use the travel crib/pack and play? Sailing on Carnival Panorama this month!
We have traveled with babe before sharing a room and have had mixed success (younger, he stayed in pack n play, at a little over 1 year old he refused on a short trip and had to bring into bed with us, making it a miserable night 😞
I am nervous about letting him sleep in another room, although he will be with his teen sibling, with a monitor and we of course, have the keys.
If possible, would like to take advantage of my interior stateroom to have some privacy with husband....
Should I do:
1. in the interior stateroom across the hall on the other twin with bumpers with the teen (and baby monitor)
2. in the pack and play with the teen (and baby monitor)
3. room with us (in pack and play)
4. room with us (on the sofa? not sure how flex sofa is, is not a sofabed in this room)
5. in our bed (please, God, no!!!)
Help! pros and cons?? please keep it real with me
