If you bring a Car Seat do you have to carry it on board, or can you have it checked with your luggage and delivered to your room.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm taking my first cruise on the vista in December. They assigned me to the 8th floor. From what I have gathered its not ideal as its near elevators and the theater. Can you please recommend the best floor with light traffic and little to no noise?
@barrettosonthelooseАй бұрын
We were on the 6th floor towards aft and had no issues with noise. I think as long as you’re not below (or maybe even above) common areas and are away from elevators/foot traffic, there shouldn’t be any issues with noise.

Hello, thank you for the video. My wife is due in September with our first, and extended family is wanting to do an Alaska cruise in June 2025. You mention that the baby needs to be 12 months old if it is 2 sea days in a row. Does that mean the day after you leave has to a port day? or would it be fine to be leave and sea day the next day. Thanks

Hi I’m happy I came across your channel, I was curious has any of your babies gotten sick from being on the cruise? I want to plan a cruise with my baby boy he turned 6months today and I just feel a little iffy on taking him on a cruise on as people say confined space I have watched another video and the lady said her girl got sick and they as well but she thinks it was because her girl was crawling all over the floors on ship. Anyways so that’s my thing but I mainly came because I wanted to know what to take when I eventually go on our first cruise with baby when he is about 9 months old close to ten well last days of September into first week of October. Hubby and I have been on 8 cruises but now that we have a little person we are bit you know hopefully I hear from you thanks

Happy Half Birthday to your son!!! ❤️ Our oldest has been on 5 cruises and the only time we all got sick was back when we cruised to Alaska in May 2022. We got sick 2 days after we returned home. We do a lot of handwashing. I bring hand sanitizing wipes to use all around the ship/port and Lysol wipes for the room to wipe everything down before we start unpacking. There is a recent video packing our 6mo for our cruise. I recommend checking it out as well as downloading the packing list we have in the video descriptions. 🤗
