Best cruise line for a 1 year

[mystic5091]

I am starting to research cruises for next year and depending on when we go we will have a 1 year to 1.5 year old. Is there a cruise line that is better than another for little ones? Do any cruise lines allow water diapers in the pools? Thank you for your help

I would recommend Disney or RCL. Disney has a nursery and a splash zone for kids in diapers. The new RCL Class has a nursery and splash zone as well. In addition, the Freedom and Liberty will be adding a nursery during dry dock in early 2011. Keep in mind that the there is a fee for the nursery but it may be worth it. In addition, RCL charges a 3rd person rate even for an infant. We did NCL with our 1 year old DD and all we had to pay for her is taxes and port fees, which was great but they didn't activities for her. I posted on here a few weeks ago about cruising with a 1 year old so check out that post for some tips.

Most ships don't allow diapered folks in the pools...but a few ships do have "splash zones" for the diapered ones. If that's important to you (I know the baby won't have a clue!), then research that before booking! Otherwise, pick what YOU want...the baby doesn't care!

Disney Cruise Lines, and the RCI ships Freedom, Liberty, Independence, Oasis, and Allure will be the only ships allowing non-potty trained kids to swim in special and designated filtered pools. Choose wisely!
