Trip reports/reviews with toddlers

[alpha0meqa]

Hello all,

 

Anyone out there have any personal reviews or trip reports you've created after your trips with toddlers? Or if you know where I can find any. Just wanting to read some experiences.

There is a Family Cruises forum that may be more informative than this one, which tends to be more general:  https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forum/28-family-cruises/

Howdy & welcome back to the message boards! I see it has been awhile since you have posted! 

 

To help you out I have moved your thread to the Family Cruises forum where it will be more on topic.

 

Also, in the Member Cruise Reviews section check out the Reviews by Category - Family Cruise Reviews.

 

I hope this will be helpful and glad to have you back aboard Cruise Critic! 

 

Happy sails,

Here is my mini review of our 2019 cruise with an update from our early 2020 cruise with our toddler. Hope it helps.

In my signature line, there are reviews for a bunch of cruises I took toddlers on.   We found that private tours were the most important thing that made sailing with your children manageable - we could stay longer when the kids were happy and leave sooner if they were unhappy.  We stopped to feed them when they got tired or cranky (the cereal in sealed individual boxes on the ship were perfect snacks but they might not be available anymore).

 

If you have any questions after reading my reviews please let me know.  I was pregnant with my first in Alaska (although that really is an amazing cruise with kids) and had toddlers on all the rest of those trips.  The Baltics and Norway were my favorite with kids, but the Panama Canal was a great and easy trip to make from the east coast and Alaska would be an easy trip from the west coast.
