Creator's Key Takeaways

I think it's a great idea to to just embrace the fact that you're on a cruise ship and you can wear this kid out to the point where they're sleeping really good at night and you might get more sleep.

Choose one that is roundtrip Tokyo. So you're going to you're going to go out of Yokohama, probably Port Osamashi port or or the actual Tokyo cruise port.

I think you should buy the Princess Plus package. It's a great value even if you don't drink alcohol.

Take all the diapers you think you're going to need. Do not rely on buying diapers in port or on the ship if your baby is if your toddler is still more of a baby and they're still diapering.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Take all the diapers you think you'll need for cruising with toddlers.
Book a roundtrip Japan cruise from Yokohama for a stress-free experience.
Buy the Princess Plus package for great value even without alcohol.
Consider a helicopter to glacier and dog sled excursion in Alaska.
Use a small umbrella stroller for port days when cruising with toddlers.
