We'll be on the Grand princess and I did just earlier add myself to the roll call mentioning our child. Yeah, it is what it is, I don't expect Princess to make a guess at how many kids might be on board, its still so early no one could know. That's ok, the more I'm finding out about the treehouse, the more I'm feeling confident. Plus my son is so smiley towards strangers I'm sure he'll make himself into a Grand Princess celebrity.

@cnd crsr Thanks, we've spoken to Princess and they don't really have any answers for us. They do have the kids treehouse (ages 3-7) on our ship but they don't have much else to say. The people we spoke to have no idea how many kids will be on this cruise either.

@rjack22 @nattieI suspect you'll be right there, just a few kids would make him extra happy. He's a happy kid who is very familiar with daycare setups so I'm not to worried. He also interacts with adults really well so that bodes well.

@jeromep @arizonaperson Thank you for the great replies. I had not even considered the laundry situation, foolish considering its 23 days. I will head over to the family section tomorrow when I'm not working and ask there.

Thanks. Ill do that. Still looking for any personal experiences with the treehouse daycare if anyone reading has had any.

Thanks Everyone. Scarily I see no mention of kids in the role call. But then, only ~20 people have announced themselves and the ship takes thousands.

Thanks Rick. I'm going to assume that went well considering you didnt mention anything specific 🙂 At 3 years old our kid is a bit past the infant stage.

Hi JennyB1977 I didn't know there was such a thing. I looked everywhere obvious on the Princess Cruise planner but didn't see such a thing, though I wasn't looking specifically for roll call. Is this something I'll find on the Princess website or elsewhere? Apologies, complete noob. We've put down our deposit we have members access, the child situation is our only doubt with the cruise at this stage. We're relocating to Auckland to live, so we'll need to end up there one way or another.

Thanks for the reply. Yes Princess allows for children of any age on the 23 day cruise but their day-care type thing starts at 3 years old. Our son will be three by then. They have a facility called 'The Tree House' which caters for children 3-7. I'm trying to gauge how many kids would likely be in attendance. He is good without routine and has travelled well when we go camping or visiting another city. He loves being around other children and loves going to day-care, so I'm hoping the ship will have a vibrant day-care like space with other children near his age.

Hi All We're considering taking the 23 day cruise from Vancouver, Canada to Auckland, New Zealand in September. We're a family of three, two Adults, one 3 year old. The idea of travelling slowly home to Auckland is appealing to us but we are worried about 23 days on a cruise ship with such a young child. Has anyone here been on a Princess Cruise with a child and can talk to this? Will there be other kids in the discovery center or will my child be alone? Does the discovery work much like a daycare? Disney doesn't do the same route unfortunately, its Princess of flying. Thanks
