Creator's Key Takeaways

We took our baby on a cruise and here are our Cruise Tips.

Cruising with a baby is a lot of fun but does require a lot of planning and packing.

So, first step before you book, you want to make sure that your child is 6 months or older because that's the minimum age for just about every cruise line out there.

The crew are amazing. Other cruisers we met were amazing.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Ensure your child is at least 6 months old before booking a cruise.

✓Pack enough diapers and wipes, as they are hard to get on board.

✓Call the cruise line to confirm a pack and play is on file for your cabin.

✓Bring a stroller, but consider a travel stroller to save space.

✓Research babysitting services, as they book up fast and may cost extra.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Minimum age for cruising — Ensure your child is at least 6 months old, as that's the minimum for most cruise lines.

Safety on balconies — Be cautious when holding your child near railings, as they may be over the rail; use a stroller or keep them secure.

Packing essentials — Bring enough diapers, wipes, formula, and baby food, as they are hard to get on board.
