Creator's Key Takeaways

we recently took our young children on a cruise for the first time and here are a few things we wish we knew before we sailed

our children usually eat lunch at 11:00 a.m. and they eat dinner at 5:00 p.m. and if they don't then it gets really crazy at our house

most Cruise entertainment is late at night so on our cruise ship the entertainment started at 9:30 and our 2-year-old goes to bed at 7:30 so that just simply was not going to work

it seems to be pretty standard in most cruise ship cabins that there are no bathtubs so when you are traveling with toddlers that's one of the things that we typically look for

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Take a look ahead at your dining options and keep children on their normal schedules
βœ“Review entertainment options for age-appropriateness and consider supplemental activities
βœ“Choose a cabin location away from loud venues to avoid disturbing sleep
βœ“Check sleeping arrangements in advance, such as bunk beds or pack-and-play availability
βœ“Research pool depths and children's play areas before booking
βœ“Plan port excursions with toddler-friendly activities in mind
