Creator's Key Takeaways
So, cruising is an amazing way to travel.
The first thing is sailing age. So when you book a cruise, your child must be 6 months to cruise on a shorter cruise and 12 months to sell on a transatlantic.
The second and this is the most important is check if they the children can use the cruise ship pools.
Cruising with a baby can be amazing. As long as you go with a tool kit ready and structured so that you've got everything you need to have a great holiday, it can be a really chilled experience.
