Just back from carnival magic w/8mo and 4yo

We didn't bring any back, sorry! They handed out one big sheet on day one that had all of the activities for every day listed out. There were some movie times, some art activities, reading stories, jumping/exercise activities, face painting/tattoos. All sorts of stuff. Days usually had a theme - our 4yo's favorite was pirate day. We didn't leave her in the whole day, just maybe an hour in the afternoon on sea days after lunch, and then most evenings after dinner (we had early seating). She had a good time - I hope yours does as well!

Following!

 

We're cruising in Nov with our will-be 9 mo old. Infants can't go in the pools? I know I've heard that but I don't know anyone who's actually followed that rule.

 

 

Most of us actually do follow the rule. I would never want to be the cause of the pool being closed because my child pooped (since there are few chemicals in the ship pool, even a swim diaper doesn't help). If you stay away from the pool, babies and toddlers don't miss it. My twins did a number of cruises before they were potty trained and having a blow up bathtub on deck and visiting pools/beach on port days were plenty.

 

Best,

Mia

ArchMom-

 

Thank you so much! It sounds like there will be plenty for her to pick from. I am letting her pick out a few activities a day that she wants to do and plan our casino or spa time around it. She loves pirates too, so pirate day will probably be her favorite as well :)
