Cruising with a 14 month old.

[BOATCAT66]

My daughter ,her husband and our 14 month old Grandson are going on a cruise Feb.11. What should we not forget to bring with us? Never cruised with a baby before, this is our 12th. cruise. Help!:)

diapers, wipies, sunscreen, hat for baby, favorite blanket, baby soap and shampoo.

I believe in toys r us, you can purchase cloth books that have toys inside. they are light weight and very portable.

I would also bring a stroller.

Are you flying to your ship? If so, I hope that you bought a seat for baby so bring his car seat for the plane. My children always seemed to like to snuggle with a cloth diaper and would usually fall asleep with it. Just a few things to get you started.

Personally, we usually did the Club Med thing when our kids were that young but I have seen many babies on ships of late. I would also ask the cruise line if they have cribs for the room.

SWIM DIAPERS and bathing suits.....hopefully you are lucky enough to have a pool designated for babies on your ship. Your grandchild will definatley need them for ports. Baby boat or water wings for swimming.

 

Have a great cruise!

Bring a VERY small blow up pool since babies are not allowed in pools even in swim diapers. this pool can be placed out of the way and have a little water from a bucket in it.

 

also be sure if you are bringing a car seat and did purchase a seat on the plane that the car seat is airline approved.

SWIM DIAPERS

 

The child is not allowed in any of the pools, per Carnival policy:

 

"Use of the Pools:

Due to United States Public Health (USPH) Regulations, we do not allow children in diapers or those not toilet-trained in the pools. "

 

The reason is clear.
