We've just got back from the Ventura with our 9 month old and 5 year old. We have been cruising since our oldest was 14months. We think it's the most family friendly holiday.

I breastfeed and BLW so we didn't need any bottles, formula, food but they do provide it all. Steriliser, sma progress, and Heinz jars. The laundrette is a god send with a small baby. You can hire pushchairs from the kids club but we took our own. Night nursery is fantastic opens at 6pm and as long as they're settled you can leave them asleep till 2am. So you can enjoy your evening. They give you a pager. As we have an older one we all went to the mdr on 1st sitting then eldest went to club and we put baby in pushchair till he went to sleep then left him in the Nursery in the pushchair.

As stated previously limited supply of nappies etc in shop so we took everything but nothing is too much trouble for them plenty of highchairs and they can go to the playroom if you stay with them. They have baby toys Playmats etc.

I was 22wks when I went last year it was a transatlantic and there was just a couple of days I suffered with dizziness. It wasn't particularly rough but I seemed to feel it more. The bands def helped. Congratulations.

I take an umbrella stroller, great to load bags on and them to sleep and my woven wrap. I agree if you don't usually babywear, I wouldn't just for the trip. I wear my 8 month old every day so I'm used to it. I wouldn't if it was really hot either, I took reins with my 1st who was 15 months for when he wanted to get out the pushchair and walk a bit but he was a runner!!!
