A steamer is allowed but not an iron/steamer.

beachchick...thank you. I was thinking the same thing about taking bottles to the coffee bar...........but the real issue here is that the OP did not know that water on a ship was safe to drink..and now she does know.....so problem sloved.

 

to the OP....have a great trip.

Now I know where to post more questions w/out being made to feel like an idiot.:rolleyes:

For everyone who is mocking me about sterilizing the bottles - I don't sterlize at home. However ,I wasnt sure about the quality or source of tap water on the ship ( being my FIRST TIME Cruise ) so I thought I should sterilize the bottles ( boiling water would take care of whatever is questionable in the water). Rather be safe than sorry.

Anyways- atleast now I know from this post that the tap water on the cruise ships is very safe to drink.

Also - thanks for the tip on introducing sippy cups on the holiday. It sounds like a good idea.

It never ceases to amaze me how things can go awry because of a poorly worded question. IE - "Do I need to sterilze bottles on a ship?" OR "Is the ship's water safe to drink?"

I don't think people on this board are any less friendly than on the family board - I think the people who responded were genuinely surprised that someone was sterilizing bottles in this day & age. I am certain it was no one's intention to make you feel like an idiot.

...and can put away almost a pound of bacon by himself sometimes. HA!

Can't we all:D

Everything's better with bacon! - the chef's mantra!

 

I can't believe you still sterilize bottles & nipples for a 15 month old?:confused:

 

Give her a break it's her 1st. It is usually the second that you stop that.

Did you not read - the very next post I gave her an USEFUL suggestion on how to do it.

If you really feel you must continue sterilizing, you could bring an electric baby bottle sterilizer.

 

But like the pervious poster said, unless your baby has a medical condition, sterilizing bottles is really unnecessary.
