Having cruised with a toddler many times, I can tell you that, as a family, it worked for us. This article explores The Best Royal Caribbean Cruise For Babies and Toddlers because if you get the ship right, the whole trip is a lot more enjoyable.
How Old Does A Baby Need To Be To Sail With Royal Caribbean
Babies sailing on a Royal Caribbean cruise must be at least 6 months old on the first day of the cruise vacation. For transatlantic, transpacific, Hawaii, select South American and other selected cruises, babies must be at least 12 months old on the first day of the cruise/cruise tour.
Stay And Play Sessions On Royal Caribbean Ships
From 6 months, parents and tots can enjoy family time in Royal Babies (6-18 months) or Royal Tots (18-36 months), who offer interactive playgroup sessions including music, art, toys and mini-learning sessions. These activity-based sessions are 45 minutes long, and parents must accompany their child. Free-time play is also offered daily, which allows parents and children to bond whilst playing with a variety of developmental toys.
Royal Babies & Tots Nursery
However the Royal Babies & Tots Nursery also allow you to leave your child. Although this service does come at an extra fee, children aged 6-36 months can be cared for by trained professionals at a ratio of one staff member to three children, while enjoying specially designed programs.

Dining With Babies And Toddler On Royal Caribbean
Organic baby food can be pre-ordered for your baby on Royal Caribbean; however, we also found the restaurant staff very accommodating. Royal Caribbean also offer children’s menus and options in all their restaurants. Additionally, we were also able to order portions of veg, fruit and rice in the restaurants, making dining with a toddler very easy.
