ucsbgirl Posted January 10, 2010 #1 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Just back from our Mexico cruise with our 9month old son. If you have any questions about cruising with an infant, let me know! Overall we had a great time, and the baby enjoyed his first cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepsiwoman4711 Posted January 11, 2010 #2 Share Posted January 11, 2010 How was getting off the ship? It's always chaos getting off the ship and I worry that it will cause much impatience and issue with a little one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tggrtoes Posted January 11, 2010 #3 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Glad you enjoyed it! That's the ship we took last year with our just turned 1 year old. Don't know how your experience was getting on/off, but ours was a breeze. DH's family are platinum (?) Princess cruisers and they all couldn't believe how quickly we were out and at the airport.

mandiecandie5 Posted January 13, 2010 #4 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Hi, Did princess charge full rate to take the infant (so the regular 3rd/4th passenger rate)? We are considering taking a 6 month old but can't decide which line will be best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beffiegirl Posted January 15, 2010 #5 Share Posted January 15, 2010 I'm wodering how it will be taking an 8 mo. old to the beach...Hope it's not crazy and I hope he likes the water on the ship( water park, kiddie pool) And I hope it's warm.....The only thing that stinks is no babysitting.He has to be 1yr old on rccl. I wanted to go to chops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only ships that allow non-potty trained kids in a small area of the H2O zone are the Disney ships and the Freedom class ships of Royal Caribbean. The majority of the H2O zone are for potty trained kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ucsbgirl Posted January 24, 2010 Author #9 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Getting off the ship- This by far was the smoothest and quickest exit. I was worried about getting tired/hungry, but we walked quicly through, grabbed out luggage and got into the car. We stayed in the covered pool area so our little one could play on a lounge chair until our "time" was up Our son LOVED the beach, very entertaining. Stroller-I forget the actualy name or model number but it is an umbrella stroller by Chicco. It fit through the hallways nicely, and folded up easily and we kept it under the crib. A note about food: we pre-requested baby food. A tray was delivered to our stateroom the first night. Each night in the dining room a staff member came by our table (not our waiter) and took our little one's dinner order so we didn't have to carry jars to dinner. Very nice. Charged a 3rd person's rate. We had a mini-suite, balcony was great to hang out on while baby slept. Enjoy cruising with your little one, it was great to share many firsts with him!

mandiecandie5 Posted January 26, 2010 #10 Share Posted January 26, 2010 uscbgirl thanks for answering questions! how did you transport your infant when going on excursions? Did you bring a carseat with you or what did you do at each of your ports? :confused: I want to bring my baby but also want to see some beaches! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
