I've only visited laundrettes on Ventura [since we've had kids], but I've found that 7pm onwards seems to be the quietest time.

One tip, the laundrette on your deck might not be the closest, a deck or two up / down might be closer

We cruise in Europe and started to take two buggys [strollers], we currently take an umbrella stroller for on the ship and an "off roader"[Phil & Teds with inflatable tyres] for off the ship.

When we first started to cruise with our daughter at 6 months we just took a large [maxi cosi] umbrella stroller and we really struggled across the cobblestones at certain destinations [Maderia being one], at the next point we started to bring a phil and teds "off roader", but we've found on some ships it fits through the doors and others it doesn't.

Didn't really think about an umbrella stroller again until two cruises ago when we borrowed one from kids club, our eldest [then two] used it a lot, whilst our one year old traveled in the backpack kids carrier [which we bought for the eldest....].

Following on from that, on our last cruise we took the phil and teds and our own umbrella stroller [mammas and pappas ] which worked well and will be doing the same again on the next cruise.

One tip, take a doorstop I'd like to pass on, take a doorstop! If you end up taking a buggy / stroller that turns out to be just wider than the cabin door, its rather useful to be able to wedge the door open whilst you carrying in/out all the bits

Next week we’re starting our 6 month old daughter on solids using the baby led weaning (BLW) approach. We’ve been on various cruises, but her first cruise was supposed to be in January. However due to a last minute bargain we’re now going away on our first (Thomson) cruise as a family in two weeks time.

Just wondering if anyone has any experience or tips of baby led weaning on a cruise, especially the early days?

thanks!
