Minimum child age to cruise?

[Mybearsbaby]

Just curious and sorry if this has been asked before...tried to find the "search forum" button but I seem to be overlooking it at the moment...

What is the minimum cruising age for babies on the different cruise lines? I think Carnival is 6 months, but not sure about all the others.

The others are all 6 months with a couple of exceptions: If you have 3 or more sea days in a row, its 12 months. If it's Disney, it's 12 weeks.

Thanks Boulders! You can take a 12 week old on Disney?? Did not know that...

And the other one with no minimum age is MSC

They say 12 months for Europe, a TA, around So Amer and to Hawaii

Due to their immature immune systems

Not 12 months IN Europe, just on the TA to get to Europe, due to the number of sea days, no access to further medical care. I believe some lines require 12 months on some Australia cruises. EM

I've only heard 6 months for carnival.i can't speak for any other lines.

You have good answers, but you can Google something like:

site:boards.cruisecritic.com Minimum child age to cruise

(Even when/if search is working here, Google will give better results.)

 

Or you can leave off the "site:" identifier and get a bigger pool of answers.

For instance: http://www.*************.com/preg-infant.cfm

 

And, of course, double check directly with the line before you do anything non-refundable. :D

Edit: I guess CC doesn't like that site, but it's the first one to pop up given your search terms and it's a pretty comprehensive listing.
