🛳 Cruising With a Toddler: What I REGRET Packing🙅🏼‍♀️ (And Lessons Learned) 

Also a tip on the mini fridge you can pre request to have your mini bar cleared out prior to boarding on any ship.

I have watched videos for two weeks straight trying to find one like yours! We are going in September with our one year old and this helps so much!

We are going on the escape with our 1 year old next month and this video was super helpful!!!

Wow!! Great tips! We are doing a cruise this April with our 16 month old and 3.5 year old

We cruised with our 8month old on the NCL Encore February 2020. We had a blast and have already booked for NCL Escape February 2021. We brought a small stroller (contours bitsy in Canada) that could hold his bucket seat without an additional adaptor which made for easy travel in the airports and American taxis/shuttles. When we were at port we used a Tula baby carrier to keep him contained while getting to the beach in the buses/shuttles. I highly recommend this as they can fall asleep while you travel if they are tired. The compact stroller also made it easy to maneuver on the boat. It was narrow enough for the cabin hallways that you could make it past the cleaners carts! We brought muslin blankets and clips to provide shelter from sun/wind/reduce noise when in the stroller. Our guy likes his earmuffs so would use them in the evening. We got to Miami early enough we were able to purchase diapers/snacks/pouches at target so we didn’t need the extra space flying (just remember to bring enough to get you to your destination I almost forgot haha). We had a small collapsible duffle bag packed when we flew to put all this in to bring onto the ship. We had to bring his sterilizer for bottles and since it’s an electronic carry on the electric portion or it can be held up in screening, this happened to my moms travel steamer on our wedding and didn’t want to fight to get the sterilizer! If you do beach excursions we bought a baby floaty by Swimways Baby Spring Float Sun Canopy. The canopy was awesome to help shade the little ones. With the Encore we only got the drop in centre for under 3yrs which was awesome had a tonne of toys. We would visit 1-3 times a day to let the little one play, it was easy to do a 20min stop down in the guppies room. I’m excited to try out the drop off on the Escape when he is 20months next year, did you use it at all?

Thank you so much for this video! It was very informative!

thank you so much I'm going on one next month with my 6 month old great info i needed

so cool, thanks for sharing the valuable tips :-)

Hi! This was really helpful! Thank you!! Do you happen to know of you need to take car seats with you to get to excursions? My family and I will be going on a family reunion on the new NCL Prima and that question was raised.

Thanks for all the great information 😊

Yaaaasssss 🎉 Mama! I appreciate this! I am going to go buy more pouches now!

Needed this video so bad Ty!

I am bringing 5 kids and these tips are awesome! I would never have thought to bring an inflatable bathtub. I will have a 1 year old as well and worried about bathtub in the shower

That's what I'm doing! Cruise to Bermuda! Need toddler tips! My first cruise! Wish me luck!😁

Any tips on dining with a toddler? Aside from bringing things back to the room and the hub recommendations. Did the dining room and/or buffet have high chairs?

We use a door stop to use when listening to announcements that are not heard inside the stateroom.

For the fridge, you can just ask your room steward to take all of the alcohol out of it when you first get in the room! Then, you don't have to worry about it!

How did you navigate swimming pools? I am really struggling with Norwegian right now because they dont have splash zones for infants like Royal Caribbean

How did you deal with nausea if he had any? I’m contemplating doing a cruise when my son is 1-1.5 years old to Alaska but since it’s the Pacific Ocean it can get pretty rickety and I’ve gotten nauseous twice when I did that cruise.

How did you do naptime? We are going at the end of this month and she won’t sleep if we are in the room. She is also 1.

how many pouches do you think would be appropriate? were taking our 20 month old this weekend

What cabin type did you have? Sailing on the Escape in February and curious as to how the pack and play is going to fit.

Your editor could use some improvement. Add in photos while the video is running of the items your talking about. It will make the video more visually appealing instead of us just looking at you talking the whole time. Really good content covered in the video. Very helpful information.

NCL charges you 15 dollars per bottle to bring on board, no free bottles.. Just got off the Breakaway

We’re they able to have a child lock on your balcony door? I have a smart door opening toddler and worried about that but want a balcony.

How safe did you feel having a balcony room with a 1 year old? Thinking of booking a balcony room instead of a Panoramic ocean view.

You bought the wrong magnets then. Ours held EVERYTHING including a loaded beach bag. They were actually hard to pull back off

Do you get free food on this cruise line?

I wish you showed those pins....
