Should I take a stroller on a cruise?

You will want some kind of stroller or baby carrier for taking your child around the cruise ship and in port. Some cruise lines, like Carnival, have rentals available; MSC offers loaners. You will need to store strollers in your cabin, so we recommend bringing a small umbrella stroller, rather than a large baby jogger.

How do you sleep with a baby on a cruise?

Your baby is also welcome to sleep in the bed with you, or you are welcome to bring your own travel crib. Older toddlers can sleep on pullout sofas (make sure one is available in your cabin before booking) or in a bed or rollaway cot, but cruise ships will not provide bed rails.

How do you bathe a baby on a cruise?
