We drove for this cruise. But, I’ve flown before with frozen BM. I used a soft sided yeti cooler with yeti ice (not dry ice). TSA was awesome and didn’t give me any trouble.

UppaBaby Vista! It’s truly an amazing stroller!!

We brought her PNP as well as the mattress.

I’m so very glad to hear that. I hope you and your family love cruising as much as we do!

I hope you have an awesome time! We used/still use a vtech baby monitor. It can be connected using WiFi or direct mode. We love our monitor and have never had any issues. When cruising, we do not use WiFi to connect and of course, we never leave our room while our baby is in there. baby camera is only used while our daughter is sleeping and we are in the other room or balcony.

@@DouglasFamilyTravels awesome thank you so much. Trying to get everything together now because this is our first time traveling with our daughter I’m sure I’m gonna overpack but hopefully I have everything we need

@@ashleypalmer6604 i am the worst about overpacking!! You can never bring enough diapers and wipes for sure!! Would rather be safe than sorry!

Some people like their children and like taking them on vacation. Have the day you deserve ☺️😘

I took my kids everywhere. There is no way I would leave them. Now I cruise with my 4 grandkids and cherish every single minute.

Yes we brought our own. I just posted a newer video giving a bit more detail too about the things we brought. I hope you have a wonderful cruise with your baby!!!

Hello! I did not bring any breast pump supplies (we received donor breast milk); however, I did a lot of research and everyone suggested that I use the Medela breast pump cleaning liquid to wash all my bottles/baby supplies as it cleaned the best. We used that and will bring it again on our upcoming cruise. We also brought portable drying racks to dry everything. I do not believe the cruise line will let you bring a sterilizer; however, we did bring a portable bottle warmer (I showed that on one of our videos. It's the Munchkin brand and it works very well and is portable). I provided the link below to show you the Medela cleaning stuff we used/recommend. I hope this helps and that you have a wonderful time on your cruise! We next sail this October on Allure again. a.co/d/5GS0scD

@@DouglasFamilyTravels Thank you sooo much, have fun on your next trip!

If they wear a diaper you can only take your baby in the splash pad area. Only potty trained kids can swim in the pools.

We brought our own to be safe. But I know you can request one and they are first come first serve.

You are so sweet! Thank you so much ❤️

@@DouglasFamilyTravels You are very welcome Kali!

You are so sweet! Thank you so very much! We sure love our girl and want to show her the world!

@@DouglasFamilyTravels You are such sweet people! I can’t remember how I connected with your videos, it might’ve been a RUclips recommendation, but I enjoy your videos.

Hello! I really hope you and your family go on your fist cruise! We sure love it! One really important thing - most cruise lines, including Royal, a baby cannot sail until they are 6 months of age or older. As far as "would it still be fun" - we still had a great time! It was just a lot more relaxing/chilling than going-going. One thing to note, that i think is important when reviewing our video and someone wanting the same - we were in a suite. I only say this to mention that the suite perks greatly helped us as we were able to stay in our room to let our baby play or sleep / rest while we had food or drinks delivered. It was also nice being on our balcony to people watch while our baby napped or slept at night.

@@DouglasFamilyTravels ah, very nice! thanks for the response! if we do go, our baby might actually be 9 months I realized.

9 months is how old our daughter was in this video! You will have a great time! Unfortunately, she did not want to stay in the Adventure Ocean (kids club for babies). The AO staff was very sweet and great with kids. One of our favorite things was the baby free play area. We would go each night after dinner to let her play around with toys and other babies! Was nice to get her tired for bed!!

I hope you guys have a great time! Our next one is this October and our daughter will be 18 months. We are anxious to see how differently this cruise will be compared to her cruising at 9 months!

I'm so glad this helped. We are so thankful Royal was accommodating with us bringing the frozen breastmilk. Definitely do the dry ice too. If you are sailing on a Royal Caribbean ship, I suggest you contact Royal Special Needs Department (just call Royal and they will transfer you) to give them a heads up you will be bringing a cooler. Also, make sure you add a luggage tag (the one the cruise lines provide to you) on the cooler so the porters can take it up to your room. We are SOOOO glad we brought our Vista. We used it everywhere we went (on and off the ship) and had no issues. Plus, it was nice having the bottom for storage! I hope you guys have a great time! Our daughter was 9 months old in this sailing!

Sure! a.co/d/hh8Xro2 Should the link not work, on Amazon, they are called "SAMMART 10L (2.6 Gallon) Set of 2 Collapsible Tub-Foldable Dish Tub-Portable Washing Basin-Space Saving Plastic Washtub (Grey + Sage Green)"

Nope! Just request it when you are placing your meal order. They were able to always quickly whip up something. We would also always ask for small cut fruit when we sat down which really helped keep our 9 month old happy.

Hello! She was 9 months old during this sailing. Our next cruise with her will be this October and she will be 18 months old.

Arlan’s Market in Galveston.

You’re so welcome!! I really hope it helped.

Thank you so much for your kind words! She is such a good girl! No, we did not royal up. This is the room we originally booked. As far as noise, you will be good. I don’t think I’ve ever had any complaints with noise on any cabin I’ve stayed in. One thing I would do, if you are worried about noise, is to bring a sound machine. We take one everywhere we go and sleep like babies.

@@DouglasFamilyTravels do you like being on that deck 8? It seems very centered around good places. We get on when you get off I think. Where would you suggest we watch the Super Bowl at. At a bar not the Aqua stadium seating. It doesn’t look that comfortable for the whole football game. Thanks for answering all my silly question.

@@tinagorski9 I would rather sit at the aqua theater! With those big screens it’s going to be awesome! Plus, the seating is VERY comfortable! (Unless you are sitting on the wood section lol!). Other than AquaTheater I would pick a seat at the Bow and Stern for the crowd excitement. Get there early

Thank you so much! ☺️

Thank you so much! That means a lot to me! I’m so glad you liked the video.

Hello! I hope you had a great time on your cruise in your Grand Suite! I'm so sorry I missed this comment. Yes, our couch could be pulled out into a sofa bed.

I absolutely agree! I hope you love your next cruise! Our next sailing is this coming Feb., so you will be right behind us.

Thank you! We had an unforgettable time!

Not all suites are like that. For alcohol to be included you would have to book a cabin eligible for Star Class which would be on Oasis or Quantum class ships.

The whole ship is huge so you definitely need to be used to walking. I did not mind the walk to our cabin at all. We do not have any issues with the Internet.

I hope you had a great time! We did not have any issues inside the cabin with sound and our 9-month-old daughter slept perfectly!

People typically tip genies at the end of the cruise for all their awesome work!

Thank you for your feedback. Really appreciate it. Will try to keep improving. :)

I’ve never tried it, but I believe so. Especially for enough seating outside on the balcony
