Cruising w 8 month old
Ok so how many people have went on a cruise with their babies? How good/terrible was it?
My MIL has invited us to go on a cruise in july (when our son will be 8 1/2 mo ths old) and she will be paying for the entire trip. At first I was all for it and my husband wasn't. Then I decided he was right and all of a sudden he changes his mind and says we should go!!! In the past few weeks since his mom came up with the idea our son has become very mobile and is standing up and crawling EVERYWHERE!
I have no idea how this is going to go and I just keep thinking it's going to be the cruise from he'll. Am I over reacting? I mean we do have a built in babysitter going w us lol!

@Mom2ING I completely understand where ur coming from. I'm not so much worried about my MIL She is AMAZING! Very helpful and loves to be of assistance. We don't live near her so anytime she gets to be with Robby she is thrilled. Obviously I don't take advantage of her tho...I'm just more worried about the germs and where would he get to crawl around at.
@clope18 Yes germs are a huge concern of mine! I've flown numerous times w him but he's in my lap for a few hrs and we make do. The payout of visiting friends and family are worth the risk I guess. But going on a cruise for five days is another story. I have no idea where he's going to play at besides our pack n play...ugh
@2ndbut1st well I'll let u know if we end up going In July and I'll tell u all the helpful hints lol!
I really think it depends on how your baby is! Is he a good baby? Fussy baby? I think it could work out.
My daughter has gotten many colds from him, but I see it as a good thing. When she starts kindergarten, she won't be sick as much.
@mom2ing I second that lol
