Cape Canaveral with an 8 month old.

We will be cruising September 5-12 with our two children 8 and eight months. I am just wondering if I have to bring the babies car seat? We are doing the coco beach transfer in Florida. Any other tips to cruising with an eight month old would be great :)

Erinchristine38 - you should be able to request and have a car seat made available by the big transfer companies in Orlando and Cocoa Beach. We used a small independent company and they were able to provide seats no problem.

If you'd like to let the group know what ship and itinerary you're sailing you'll get some specific tips/tricks to make your vacation more enjoyable. In the mean time here are the two reviews I have written while cruise with my wife and DD.

We are sailing from NY, to Florida, Bahamas. Norwegian gem :)

If the transfer is a bus, you won't need the car seat.

Thank you

If your 8-month is still in an infant car seat (ours was) you can use the regular belts in any car to secure their car seat.

You might want to bring along a blow-up tub to bathe the baby unless you have a suite with a tub. It will also be a place for the baby to splash in near the pool as NCL has no facilities for babies/toddlers in diapers.
