Advice for cruise travel with young children?

eebrs asked:


We’ve already booked a cruise on Norwiegan Cruise Lines to the Mexican Riviera. We’re taking our 21 month old and almost 5 year old kids with us. We’ll have extended family with us to help out as well.

I’m trying to think of everything we’ll need and I’m sure there will be things that I can’t come up with on my own. Any suggestions?

I’ve already bought the cloth swim diapers (they don’t allow the disposable kind). I have water shoes for both kids. We have a brand new bottle of sunblock. We’ll obviously take children’s medicines with us just in case. We’re driving their so we’ll have some things to keep them entertained in the car.

It’s difficult planning for such a multi-faceted vacation -car trip, hotel stay, cruise, and shore excursions. We’ve been on a cruise before, but never with kids.

Thanks in advance for all your help!
