i1981star Posted September 24, 2013 #1 Share Posted September 24, 2013 We'll be cruising with my daughter, who will be one month away from turning two years old. She would have a lot of fun if they would allow her to come in and play. Is there any way I can get them to allow her in since she is so close to being two years old?

katiedidthat Posted September 24, 2013 #2 Share Posted September 24, 2013 You will be able to take her in and play with her (or pay to leave her on some ships) for 2 hours a day during the "under 2s time" and the night time babysitting but due to liability insurance issues, the age limit is strictly enforced for regular camp. Your only option to get her into camp is to reschedule your cruise for a month later when she is officially two. Sorry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerry's Girls Posted September 24, 2013 #3 Share Posted September 24, 2013 I was told that my girls wouldn't be let in even the week before they turned two. We sailed the week after instead. Best, Mia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prinycesa07 Posted September 24, 2013 #4 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Nope, pretty strict about it. We were going to sail Royal Carribean at the end of March, exactly 7 days before my son turns 3 but decided to go with Carnival for this exact reason since their program is 2 and up.

cb at sea Posted September 24, 2013 #5 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Generally, whatever age your are upon boarding, will be the age they consider you to be for the entire cruise. You may want to reschedule, so your child CAN make use of the camp! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megann831 Posted September 25, 2013 #6 Share Posted September 25, 2013 we're going 2 weeks before my son turns 2. I'm a teacher so I have limited vacation options and postponing the trip a few weeks isn't possible. When I booked it I asked the woman how strictly they would be checking his age and without saying anything officially she gave me the indication that I should be ok. I however assume he'll flip out if I try to leave him. I'm hoping for a peaceful dinner or two, but I'm not counting on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There aren't a lot of times for hubby and I to get time off from work together. When I booked, they told me it would depend on the people working on the ship. I'm hoping if I throw them a nice tip, maybe they'll hook me up. If not, that's ok, we'll still have fun. But my daughter is 12 years younger than her 14 year old brother, and she starves for peer interaction. The other day at the mall, she went up to a strange little girl and started hugging her! She'd be fine if I left her. After her birthday we're going to look into a preschool for her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lerin Posted September 25, 2013 #8 Share Posted September 25, 2013 They will not allow it, I believe I read it has something to do with insurance. Your options are: re-schedule, use the night owl sitting, or bring along a nanny We plan our cruises specifically around our child's birthday. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
