JinxyB Posted August 14, 2011 #1 Share Posted August 14, 2011 We are cruising for the first time with our son next month-he will be 9 months old. I have found a ton of very valuable information on this board and I appreciate everyone's input! I asked our travel agent about getting pureed food and she said some places on the ship will do it and others won't. We are cruising Carnival Valor. I really don't want to bring a ton of baby food in my suitcase...I figure we can mash up fruits and veggies for him on board? He still drinks formula and eats cereal so I will bring all that on board. Has anyone had any luck with getting pureed food on Carnival? Thanks!

foxesden1 Posted August 14, 2011 #2 Share Posted August 14, 2011 I once boarded a flight, for 10h with no food (thankfully we were nursing) my daughter was 6 months old.. so I always bring food now. ALWAYS. But I owuld look into a baby food grinder. Super easy, and you do it by hand. http://www.google.com/products/catalog?oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&q=baby+food+grinder&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=shop&cid=14866838534689374660&sa=X&ei=tlxITvyWLsPdiAL84p2cDQ&ved=0CEUQ8wIwAA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted August 15, 2011 #3 Share Posted August 15, 2011 The MDR will do it..no problem. It may be more difficult in the buffet....since there really aren't waiters.... there will be soft foods that don't require mashing...applesauce, mashed potatoes, bananas, etc....you'll make do. If your child needs something special, bring it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Almost Packed Posted October 3, 2011 #4 Share Posted October 3, 2011 i second the soft foods from the buffet. I'd bring a couple of take along containers to easily fill from the buffet line, you can store in fridge, or then carry to main dining room if needed. but even at 9 months, baked potatoes, french fries (they love to gum them) saltines, pudding, applesauce, peaches diced tiny, cottage cheese, peas, green beans, carrots etc. you can mash them, or some you can give them whole. just make sure they are large enough or small enough...whichever the case me be.

RizzoLee Posted October 11, 2011 #5 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Thanks for the posting - I was looking for something similar; my 6mo will be 9mo exactly on our cruise in January, and I was wondering the same thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Kat Posted October 11, 2011 #6 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Mashing with a fork works, but they also have hand-crank food mills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bliss_fully_happy Posted October 13, 2011 #7 Share Posted October 13, 2011 My 9mo is chewing small items. So you may not need purees. We are going on Fascination in 29days (but who is counting). I plan on taking some jars, but not much. I will hoard cheerios from the morning buffet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
