woodmill100 Posted October 19, 2007 #1 Share Posted October 19, 2007 We're on Caribbean Princess in January (grand suite :D ) however, I have just found out that I am pregnant. Very early so assuming everything goes ok, will I be ok sailing at 4 months pg? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toto2Kansas Posted October 19, 2007 #2 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Just remember to check out your cruise personalizer. There is a form that is supposed to be filled out for those pregnant when cruising. It shouldn't be a problem being only 4 months along. From princess: Special Notice Pregnant Princess Cruises cannot accept passengers who will have entered their 24th week of pregnancy by the end of the vacation. A doctor's letter must be submitted to Princess' Fleet Medical department indicating the estimated due date. You may download the Medical Condition form and fax it to Fleet Medical at (661) 753-0121.

packin4caribbean Posted October 19, 2007 #3 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Congrats! Is this your first? We are sailing next month on the CB, and I will be 21-22 weeks. This is during the ''honeymoon'' stage (2nd trimester). The only downfall to cruising while pregnant I see is no alcohol (if you drink in the first place), no caffiene, and you have to be careful about the food (no raw or undercooked eggs, fish....) Being 4-5 months is the best time to cruise if you are cruising while pregnant. Your morning sickness is usually gone, and you don't have a big enough bump for it to be a bother, and usually your engery is back to normal, too. Have a great time on your cuise, don't worry about being pregnant, just enjoy being pampered and relax! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted October 19, 2007 #4 Share Posted October 19, 2007 I believe Princess says you cannot have started the third trimester at the end of the cruise, so you should be fine by them. I would definitely talk to your doctor to get his/her blessing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodmill100 Posted October 19, 2007 Author #5 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Will do most definitely. Thanks for your input. We're having to cancel our HAL cruise to Alaska in May as it is - don't want to cancel the Caribbean too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharktums Posted October 19, 2007 #6 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Check out the Family Cruising Board as we just had a recent thread about cruising while pregnant in the Caribbean with lots of good info! FYI, I cruised pregnant in the Caribbean last year and it was great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momofsamandeden Posted October 19, 2007 #7 Share Posted October 19, 2007 I sailed while pregnant with my son. Two weeks before leaving the dr. put me on limited mobility. I was around 5 months pregnant. I asked if I had a wheelchair if I could still go and he said it was up to me. I went and had a great time. The downside was that we had a wheelchair but it still worked out I was just wheeled everywhere! RCCL even gave us a wheelchair cabin at last minute when we called about the wheelchair. This last pregnancy with my daughter we were in the planning of a wedding cruise to Greece when I got pregnant and we had to cancel! I say go to Alaska the May 2009 and take a little babymoon for you and the hubby if you can. You will need it after a year of baby food and diapers! BTW I found out I was pregnant around this time too! June is a great time to have the baby right before all the really hot weather! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
