Thanks rajones007, appreciate the follow up comment!

First off - thank you to those who actually answered my main question - is it a realistic option. From the sounds of it, those that have tried have found the range to be no use.

Second off - I do appreciate some of the feedback about the reasonableness of it (ie the comparison to the carnival cruise and not being able to get back to the room).

I must say, I am disappointed and offended to see how quickly the thread devoled into a bashing session....

The fact someone even considered leaving an 8mo alone in the room while at a lounge is sad and irresponsible. If I ever get to the point where I need a drink that badly then it's time to head to AA.

rajones - you read far too much into my statement, without any attempt to clarify:mad:. What part of "relaxing in the lounge down the hall" translates into needing a drink so badly that I need AA?

For the record, I was asking so that while my baby was napping during the day would I be able to sit in a close location and read a book. I often sit at the lounge to read on my previous cruises - the chairs are comfortable and during the day the lounge is usually deserted. In case you were wondering - no I don't drink while reading at the lounge, nor did I before having a child either.

I am shocked at the feeling I have tonight reading these responses. The tone of so many of these posts..... it's not even worth my time to reply.

I do appreciate the efforts of the few of you who took the time to try and clarify or understand what I was asking (like shirley or lady jag). I hope my cruise is filled with folks like you.

Morning folks.

Taking the little man (8 mo old) on his first cruise next week. while getting organized I started thinking: "what if I brought my baby monitor on the ship" Would it work to give me enough range to relax in the lounge down the hall?

Obviously I would test it out to see what sort of range it actually has before leaving him. But I'm wanting to know if anyone has used one before? What are your thoughts - does all the metal on the ship render it useless?

specifics:

I am in the rear Right corner of the ship, deck 8

Deck six has a lounge area right below us (2 decks)

Anglecare monitor

Thoughts?

Am I wasting my time hauling the anglecare, or is there a better solution?

Thanks
