Cruising with a 11 month old

[jefarl]

We have taken many cruises but this time we invited our DS, DIL and there 11 month old. Never been on a cruise with a baby and don't recall seeing many either.

1. Is it somewhat normal to bring babies on cruises?

2. does the line provide cribs? We are going on the NCL Jewel

3. is there baby sitting available if we want it?

4. can you take a baby into the shows?

5. any other information/suggestions would be appreciated...
