Eastern Caribbean or Canada/New England with a 9 Month Old

[CruisingCatherine]

We are expecting our third child the first part of December. We are in the process of planning our next cruise for the fall of 2009. We are considering an Eastern Caribbean or a Canada/New England cruise. We are concerned about the sun in the caribbean with a small child. Any opinions on which cruise would be better with an infant?

Pick the one that will make YOU happiest! The child won't know the difference! Even in the Caribbean, you can keep the baby out of the sun.--and suncreen is very good, too!

Personally, if I'm paying to vacation, I want WARM weather!!!!

A cruise of Canada/New England would have advantages; both in terms of milder weather and the ease of obtaining items should they be needed for the infant or for your other children.

 

In the end, you should do the one that you think will work for your family.
