Cruising with Kids

[AmandadeWitte]

Hi cruisers! My 3 year old son, my husband and I will be cruising onboard the Celebrity Reflection embarking on April 27th, 2018 with my brother and sister in law and their 2 year old. We need all the advice and tips we can get for cruising with toddlers. We’ve cruised quite a bit in the past but never with small children. Do you take strollers? Car seats? Have you used in stateroom babysitting services? Kids clubs? We are brand new to this and appreciate all the advice we can get! Thanks in advance!

I should add, it’s the 10 day Greek isles and Italy itinerary. [emoji5]

You will get answers here but let me also recommend you post this on the Family Cruises board as you will get a lot of information from those who have cruised with children.

I would also post this on the Celebrity Cruise Line Board for assistance on questions specific to Celebrity such as baby sitting services.

 

Board is at:

Now some of my own advice.

 

We recently took our family on a cruise and that included three grandchildren two of which were close to two years old.

 

I do highly recommend a stroller to use on and off the ship.

 

If you are going to go in cars I would bring a car seat.

 

Again for kids clubs and baby sitting best to ask about that on the Celebrity Board.

Yes..you will need and want the stroller!

I don't believe Celebrity's club allow kids under 3. There may be some "in cabin" babysitting avail., if some crew member is willing.
