crusinmama06 Posted July 29, 2008 #2 Share Posted July 29, 2008 At my blog (link in my signature), I outline all of the programs for each cruiseline. Off the top of my head - here are the pros/cons for the main cruiselines Disney - Flounder's Nursery, pay per hour service, on board infant water splash area for non-potty trained children RCCL - In-cabin sitting for those 1 year and older, Freedom class ships (Freedom, Liberty, Independence) and Enchantment of the Seas has a baby water area called the Baby Zone. Carnival - Has some group babysitting times for Under 2's. Will change diapers. No baby water areas, would have to bring an inflatable. NCL - No babysitting. But child would only be charged port fees/taxes instead of the 3rd/4th rate that other cruiselines charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mistymulan Posted July 29, 2008 #4 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Last year we went cruising to western Med and my daughter was 18 months. We really enjoyed NCL because we could eat when ever we wanted with the Freestyle cruising option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julienatul Posted July 29, 2008 #5 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Carnival Inspiration and Imagination do have the water areas for babies in the new waterworks section. Babysitting at 10p-3am every night and on 12-2pm on sea days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
