Hey, I can help on this one. I am Mrs. Cruise Expert! LoL. My parents started taking me on cruises when I was a baby. I am now 26 and just took my 3 year old on her 4th cruise, and my 39th cruise. Take EVERYTHING. I took my daughter on her first when she was 8 months old. Take everything that you use everyday... plus some. Also, take an umbrella stroller. You can take the bug stroller... they have room for them, and it''s easy to get around the ships w/ them. There are elevators everywhere. When you are in port, the stroller is a MUST. The big strollers are handy if your child gets sleep, you can recline it. We took a whole new BOX of diapers (i dont know how long your cruise is for) Take twice as many clothes as you think you need. A couple of sippy cups or bottles, some liquid soap and a bottle brush to wash the bottles. Light snacks for waiting in the terminal to board the ship. A few toys. Your child will find plenty to play w/ on the ship. Sun screen, BOTTLED WATER. The water is safe to drink on the ship... but in port, its better to have your own. You can take any baby food that she still eats. They have buffets, and kid friendly menus at dinner. Snacks are always available. Lemme know if you have anymore questions.. This is one of my favorite subjects :) Will be glad to help!!

Oh I love cruising - although I've only been twice - I'm so jealous!! My mom lives in Orlando so we would probably leave ds with her. Both of mine were Royal Carribean and I agree - take more than you think. What fun!!


MrsShelton217 - May 22nd, 2007 4:28 PM

Norwegian is a great line. So is RC. Those are my faves. Yes, they have whole milk. Room service is available 24/7 so you will have access to it when needed. The stoller is a MUST! You WILL regret NOT taking it. If you daughter uses a pacifier... take TEN!! My daughter kept throwing them and one even went overboard!!!! LoL. Take PLENTY of film and batteries! Also.. some little swimmer swim pants for the pool. No need to take towels.. the ship provide beach towels.
