Car seat for South Pacific cruise with RCCL?

[trickyquickfeet]

Anyone been on a Sth Pacific cruise recently?

 

Should I take a car seat for my 2.5yr old for port excursions? We will be at Noumea, Lifou and Isle of Pines, Dec 2013.

 

Any suggestions appreciated! :)

Hi there.

There is nothing at Lifou and Isle of Pines, except some markets, and great swimming and snorkeling.

Noumea has a great Hop on, Hop off (HoHo) bus, right there where you dock (or get dropped off).

No benefit in taking the car seat.

We are going on Radiance December 10th and 20th for Christmas, back to back(B2B).

What ship are you going on?

Have a great cruise.:)

We travel with a product called the RideSafer Travel Vest. I don't recall the height/weight requirements but know we purchased ours when my child was 4. It is relatively heavy but folds relatively flat in a large backpack. I like to have ours along just in case we need to grab a cab. If you child is too small, it is something to consider for future travel as it is so much more portable than a regular car seat. We keep ours in the car in case we every need it for a friend or cousin, so it gets used even when we aren't traveling, too!
