Thanks for the help all! We really appreciated all of the helpful info! We are home and had a great time minus the COVID I got as a parting gift!
My youngest turned one a week before we cruised so we were set for her no matter what in terms of sea days!
We took the wonderful advice on waiting to board and arrived at the port maybe 11:40? We basically walked on minus a small line at security. We had no problem booking reservations while on board including changing our dinner plans last minute. For those curious, it was really only reservations for specialty dinning, the show (choir of man) and the escape room. The rest was first come first served sort of thing. The escape room was really fun though!
Also we did stop at GSK and it was fine. It was a ramp to get on/off the boat and while we didn’t use it, there was an elevator to get between the two levels on the tender. I held her in a carrier and my husband had the stroller folded up. Next time I wouldn’t bring the stroller to that port at all though as it’s mostly sand.
cruising with kids was fun and we will do it again, but I think our next one will be just the adults 😂
