Being only able to book dinner for 5:30 was not good for us at all! We have a baby and we tried the 5:30 dinner time as a family a couple of times which was very stressful as little one was very hungry by the time dinner was served. We then thought we would go for dinner once baby was asleep around 7pm but couldn’t book a table for that time instead had to join a virtual queue and didn’t end up eating until around 7:45pm. Ideally would have just wanted to go to the restaurant when baby was asleep without having to book.

Yes we are home now. Our little one had a high temperature one of the nights which settled with calpol but she was very irritable and wasn’t herself the next day so I took her down to see the doctor. It cost £85 and they were fantastic, worth every penny for piece of mind that there was no infection going on. They were very thorough.

Yes all vaccines are up to date and managed to see GP this afternoon

Thanks for the input. Have seen the GP this afternoon, they’ve checked her ears, throat, chest, temperature and feel she is a perfectly healthy to be going on holiday. She has a slight red throat from coughing but feel it’s just a cold and her body is acting as it should be to fight the cold. No need for antibiotics and have assured me not to worry.

Haha yes have tried and as always no appointments available, don’t really think it’s deemed urgent as it’s just a cold at the moment. I will also phone again tomorrow at 8am to see if I can talk to the GP. I’ve also contacted the health visitor (registered children’s nurses) and again have to wait upto 48 hours to discuss but they will phone me before we go. I have insurance in place but I don’t care about what’s it’s going to cost to see a doctor. It’s just more to the fact I want piece of mind that they would prescribe me children’s antibiotics if I do need them. Thanks

Hi - we are going on Arvia on Sunday and I have an 8 month old baby girl. She’s got a bit of a cold at the moment and I’m started to worry about it turning in to a chest infection and not being able to get her treated. Does anyone have any experience of seeing a doctor onboard or being prescribed antibiotics? I’m assuming that as they allow babies onboard they will cater for them medicine wise? I know it’s expensive to see a doctor onboard but obviously if she is poorly I’ll pay any cost. Thanks

There’s been a medical emergency on board
