We have sailed with an infant. The ship will provide a crib if you request it. We were in a balcony room and it was tight. I honestly don't think it would fit in an inside, but I could be wrong.

 

It's nice to have the the balcony for their naps....that way you can at least watch the world go by while they nap. We did have to lay a sheet over the side of the crib so our daughter wouldn't see us. If she could see us, she wanted to be with us. We even did that at night, in case she woke up. We didn't cosleep.

 

Our kids didnt need total dark or silence for naps. We never conditioned them to it....that was intentional.

 

My biggest concern was about her getting sick. However, she didn't and everything was fine. The vacation went well, but we did miss out on some things we wanted to do because of naps.

 

Later, we cruised with our son when he was an infant.

 

Take a lot more wipes than you think you'll need....and plenty of dirty diaper bags.....because small rooms get stinky very quickly.....just say'n.

The crib does fit in an inside cabin. I've done it. It's tight, but it fits.

Whether your child sleeps well in this situation is up to him/her and your family. For us it worked out, and we had a great time.
