Anyone ever taken their baby on a cruise or know anyone who has? We are going on a cruise this March with LO who will be 9 months. Any advice or recommendations?
We took our daughter on a Disney Cruise when she was 6 months (in December). It was such a great way to vacation with a baby, I highly recommend it.
As for tips/advice: We did Babies Travel Lite, which is a company who delivers diapers, changing supplies, baby tub, diaper genie, etc. to your stateroom. It was great not to have to pack an entire extra suitcase with all that stuff. Our only problem with the cruise was that the pack n play provided was not comfortable enough for her to sleep in AT ALL. We placed some extra folded blankets underneath the fitted crib sheet to add extra padding, but she still had trouble sleeping.
What is so awesome about a cruise and a baby is that you don't really need to take a diaper bag anywhere! Any time you need to, you can just pop back into your stateroom to change/feed her. I enjoyed that feeling of freedom.

You might want to check on the Travel board on the Nest. I lurk there sometimes and there is usually a few posts a week about babies on cruises or traveling with babies.
