When my son was 2, my husband and I went on an adults only vacation to Costa Rica. While we had a great time, and enjoyed being alone together, all I could think of was how much my son would have enjoyed every adventure we went on! After that, I swore I would never go away for a full week without him again. Last year, when he was three, I took him on his (and mine) first cruise. I was really worried with how he would do with the MDR, the swimming pool area, and just worried about an all around melt down. Well....he did great!!! Was an angel in the dining room, and I just loved sharing every new experience with him. I think the cruise is a perfect way to vacation with a toddler. So I would say, if you are looking for alone time, go for it, but definitely plan a cruise with the little one soon....it is something you will remember forever! BTW....my DS loved it so much that we are going on another cruise this May. I wanted to do AI, but he begged to go on the "Big Boat" again!:)
