Cruise Ship/Car Seat

[GalwayGirl03]

We are flying down and would like to take a car seat for our 2 year old...We are cruising on Royal...will they take the carseat and store it for us somewhere on the ship.  We are in a small inside cabin and won't have room to store it with us.

 

Thanks!

I believe you will need to store it.

Unfortunately, you will need to make room in the cabin.

I had no problem storing Britax Frontier in an inside cabin's closet. 

Good for you for bringing a car seat with you for the 2 yo. It's easier to transport if you put it on a stroller (if you are bringing one) or on a magna cart with bungee cords. Or attach to a carry on bag...

Also, use it on the plane - don't check at gate or with luggage.

 

Which car seat do you have? Do you have one that you use for travel/secondary seat? Is the 2 yo rear facing or forward facing?

We also stored our carseat in the closet when we were in a small OV cabin on the Empress going to Cuba. We have the Cosco Scenera Next. We also put the folded up umbrella stroller under the bed.

Some will simply stick the car seat in the shower, when it's not in use!

might be too wet. I wouldn't. I'd stick it under the desk if it's a smaller convertible and you don't have space for it in the closet, but we traveled with a huge Britax Frontier, so we stored it upright in the closet instead (inside cabins). Cosco Scenera NEXT is much smaller and could fit in tighter spaces.

Car seat will usually fit in the closet. Or tucked next to the bed. Unfortunately you will have to store it. 

 

That being said, we left ours at home. We never needed it on the cruise, and we were ok in the airplane without it, because lets be honest, if the plane crashes, the car seat isn't going to make a difference 🙂

Yeah I need you...we have never taken the carseaf with us before but our last flight from San Juan in December was hell..he wouldn’t sit still and just screamed bc he wanted to climb and walk..so at lest he would be strapped in and secure...it honestly more for our sanity than safety!!

That makes sense. Our one sat really good. The other not as much. One thing that did help was letting him run the airport before we boarded. Good luck on your flight!
