Special needs

Hi everyone. I have a 15 year old non verbal autistic child and we are going on our first cruise in 10 days. To Progresso and Cozumel we are also bringing our 20 month old. I was wondering about the mustard drill is there anyway one parent goes and one stay with the kids? My son does good in crowds for about 15 min. Any help or advice on this or any part that will make this smooth sailing I would appreciate. We are sailing with carnival.

As said, muster drill is required by everyone. You should be able to arrange a special muster for your group, but go to guest services as soon as you board to discuss it. You might also want to contact the special needs department for the cruise line. But, no, you can't just send one parent to the muster drill.

Mommaof4kiddos - Welcome to cruise critic! You might find the Special Needs board (https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=190) and Family Cruises board (https://boards.cruisecritic.com/search.php?searchid=123386281) useful too. Doing a search on 'autism' will return a number of threads on both boards. Hope you have a great cruise!
