Do they sell Diapers in the convenience stores onboard?

[JordanLovesCruisin]

My friend is going on a cruise with her sisters, and she is bringing her 8 month old baby girl.

 

She knows I'm on this site and what not and wanted me to ask if they sell diapers onboard.

 

She is going on a 7-day cruise, and was just scared that if the baby gets sick (diarrhea) or something, that she wouldn't have brought enough diapers.

 

I told her bring way more than she normally would, but she insisted on having me ask!

 

Thank you so much!

Generally, you should bring what you will need. Even if they have some, there's no guarantee that they'll be available the entire cruise....I'd pack everything I need for baby.

Hello,

 

Again, I would pack more than you need, although diapers (nappies for me in the UK) take up a bit of space, they are not heavy.

 

Even if you can buy them I assume they would be more expensive than what you are used to and not the brand normally.

 

I was on a cruise recently with a toddler and brought all of my nappies from home.

 

Good Luck

Also, pack them in different suitcases. That way if one suitcase gets "re-routed" you will still have some to use.

It's always a sad sight on the last day or two of a cruise to see the parents who have run out of diapers. The shop has very few, not much selection of sizes and they're expensive. Much better to bring a bunch home (or leave them on board) than not to bring enough. She can fit a ton of them in the outer pockets of luggage where they won't take away space and end up providing more padding for the suitcase!

 

Best,

We live close enough to drive to port, so I just brought a case of diapers and put a luggage tag on them. By the end of the week the leftovers were added to the spare space in everyone elses luggage.

Please have her pack way more than normal.....and the same with ladies and feminine hygiene products..the stuff onboard is not good....believe me....LPT:eek:

I was worried about the same thing when I first started cruising with my babies. And I know they do take up a little more room but what I did was pack a carry on bag that had all my baby supplies in it (bottles,formula,bottled water,juice,breastfeeding sup,passeys ETC)

and I carried it on with me BUT then I also had a back up plan!! I packed 10 diapers in everyone elses luggage it didn't take up much room for 10 diapers and do that with 3 or 4 people and you will have way more than you will need. I packed it in everyones luggage just in case the diapers I packed in my checked luggage didn't make it, But I ended up with way more than I needed. They do usually have a few diapers in the gift shop but if you think you are going to need them I would buy them when you first get on board because when they are gone they are gone. I have had other parents ask me for diapers before (I guess I had chronic over packer written on my forehead:rolleyes: ) Hope they have a great cruise!! Babies are fun to cruise with (for me anyway!!)
