Stroller on Brillance and Allure

[bogs1009]

We are taking our son on the Brilliance (will be 7 mos old) and Allure (will be 11 mos old) and debating if we should take our larger Uppababy Vista stroller with us on board or if it's worth purchasing a smaller umbrella style stroller.

 

The bigger one is bulky and the room is small (getting standard balcony room) but figure when we are in the room we will fold it up and either put it the corner somewhere, under the bed, or on the balcony.

 

Does anyone have experience with bringing a full size stroller with or with bringing a smaller stroller for someone that is under 1 yr old? The bigger one is much more comfortable for baby and easier to navigate but is it worthwhile due to the size navigating the ship.

 

Thanks for the advice in advance

Umbrella stroller with recliner; all the way.

 

Our full size would have been an issue on the ship, the umbrella strollers are just right sized.

You want a sturdy stroller that reclines and has a sun cover - so a good quality umbrella stroller would be perfect. A large stroller can be a pain navigating around housekeeping carts in narrow halls, getting onto elevators, etc. That said, as a mom of twins, I cruised with large double tandem strollers lots of times with no problem - but they were not wide at all (width is the biggest issue with strollers).

 

I never had a problem finding a corner to put the folded stroller in. It wouldn't fit under the bed.

 

Have a great cruise.

We brought an Uppababy G-luxe for a 7 month old and wouldn’t have wanted anything much larger. As you said, space is tight, especially with a pack ‘n play in the room.

I never had anything BUT an umbrella stroller for my kids! Easy to fold, easy to roll...they are fine for what you need!

Thanks for the advice, sounds like getting a high quality umbrella stroller is our best bet. Happy Cruising!

Picturing a nice salt sculpture from a stroller stored on a balcony. Wondering if they would sell it at the art auction....
