Baby monitors

[TEEMChicago]

Hi! We will be cruising with our 7 month old in a few weeks and are thinking of bringing our baby monitor in the hopes of being able to leave the room during naps or after she is in bed. Does anyone know if baby monitors work on board and, if so, how far they reach?

 

Thanks!!

Where would you be going? I'm going to stop at that question because there's no way I would have left either of our kids alone in a room in a hotel or cruise ship or alone in our house while we went somewhere else.

We would be going to neighboring rooms as we are traveling with my entire family and there are 14 of us in all. with rooms all next to each other. We wouldn't be going bar hopping or anything.

I dont know how the monitors would work in reguards to room to room. I can only let you know what worked for us when we cruised with our 6 year old and 7 month old. We had a balcony and the monitor was a lifesaver for us. We would make sure the kids were asleep and then turn the monitor on and go sit on the balcony to enjoy the evening together. It was great we could hear every sneeze in the cabin and also hear if someone tried to get in the cabin as well.

we used them in the room adjoining & on the verandah. No experience with any further distances- my parents were staying 4 rooms away-- but that was not a comfortable distance for me to desire

They will be good if you are in the cabin next door or across the hall. Other than that, it is a crap shoot.

If you can get connecting rooms, that might be an easy way to do it without monitors....just crack the door between the rooms!

Thanks everyone! We have a balcony room, so it's great to know it reaches out there! Also, connecting rooms with siblings, so it looks like it should be perfect!

Please let us know how it goes. My wife and I will be cruising with family in March. Our son will be between 6 and 7 months. Would love to hear what all worked for you on the cruise as well as what difficulties you had.

I definitely will!

Good luck to you and your wife on a healthy and speedy delivery!
