    When are you going? We were going to go, but couldn't because I was past 24 weeks, and most cruise lines won't let you on past then...as for the maternity swim suit, I would just buy one that's XL, or a couple sizes bigger than what you normally wear...I wouldn't spend $150 on one that I would wear just a couple times....Good luck! Have some fun for all of us! Big Smile

    Target had some cute maternity swimsuits last year - not sure if they will have them this early in the season.

    Yay, I had a great time on a cruise (and got engaged on the trip!)  I heard someone say on here that when they got on, they introduced themselves to the ship's doctor, so they would feel better knowing who it was.  I think that sounds like a good idea. 

    I figured that I might be able to wear a regular (cheap) 2 piece this summer... but I have no idea if that will look ok.

    I got mine from old navy for less than $20.00 but that was back in the summer.  Or try ebay.

    Fun!  I've been on 2 cruises and love them!  Target in Montana has there maternity swimming suits in so I'm sure most other places will too!  They are really cute!  Also you can try just typing in Materinity Swimmingsuits and some of the websites have cute ones that won't cost you an arm and a leg!  Have fun on the cruise and don't forget the sunscreen!

    We are headed to the Mexican Riviera and taking our 3 year old. ?We literally get back to port the day before I turn 24 weeks. :)

    Old Navy has some suits online that look cute, but don't have any structure in the bust. ?The ones on Target online don't look very good.

    I would suggest sea bands. They are wrist bands you can wear if you get sea sick. They're also recommended for morning sickness? It works wonders for me, and its just a little sweat band looking bracelet that has a plastic ball to push on a pressure point. You can normally find them in the pharmacy area next to any of the motion sick medicine. They're much cheaper to buy before hand than to buy on the boat, and for me they work within 5-10 minutes!

     

    have fun I just got back from one. We love cruising so much that we got married while on a cruise. 

    Blessed with 2 amazing little boys. One grew in my tummy and the other my heart.
