Cruising and pregnant

Hi! Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but figured it was close!

I will be pretty early on in my pregnancy when we cruise 8-9 weeks. Obviously no drinking, sushi, caffeine, and deli meat. Is there anything else to be aware of that pregnant ladies should stay away from on cruises?

Depends on where you are cruising to. Google Zika virus if you are cruising the Caribbean. Not a problem for Alaska, Bermuda, Canada...yet. EM

I am not concerned about the Zika virus right now. We are going to Bermuda and they haven't had any cases. Was more concerned about being on the ship.

Consult with your Doctor as what's safe to take in the event of motion sickness.

One thing to avoid would be heels. Do wear flats or sandals and......have a great time!:)

We aren't sure if this is still current information for RCCL, but it would obviously be worth you checking it out if you haven't done so already:

" A physician's "Fit to Travel" note is required prior to sailing, stating how far along (in weeks) your pregnancy will be at the beginning of the cruise and confirming that you are in good health and not experiencing a high-risk pregnancy. The "Fit to Travel" note should be faxed to the Royal Caribbean Access Department at 1-954-628-9622."
