Freezing facilities onboard

[bertrande]

We cruise on the Harmony in June with our then 7-month old who's on full breastmilk taken from a bottle. When we go on shore excursions, I like to carry 1-2 bottles of milk to standby in case our schedule doesn't allow for me to express on time.

 

I emailed RCCL's special needs department and was told they wouldn't be able to help me freeze my cooler bag and ice packs. When we were on the Liberty in 2013, it wasn't a problem and I am surprised by (and panicking at) the policy change.

 

Does anyone have any suggestions or alternative solutions to this? Should I email again in hope of a favourable response? Thanks!

Ask for frig for medicine. The last one we had was more of a freezer than a refigerator.

You could also get one of those Yeti Rambler Bottles and place the milk pouch inside then fill with ice. Those things work awesome.

Drop special_needs@rccl.com a note. They should be able to help you out.
