Cruising with young children

Hello! We will be cruising with 4 small children on the Norwegian Getaway. Does anyone have any tips? Such as excursions, things to pack, activities on the ship, and so on. Thank you!!

If you haven't already looked there, check out the NCL spot. https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=107

Kids that age will LOVE the club...let them try it!

As far as excursions, before you start booking stuff, research your ports, either with a guidebook from the library or google searches. Many things are easy to do on your own, which is good with little ones....you aren't "held captive" if the tot gets tired or cranky! Find out what there is in each port that interests you, then we can help with HOW to do that!

You should bring any and all pediatric meds...the ships don't sell children's meds! Bring anything you MIGHT need, just in case! Other than that, a cruise is merely a vacation...pack for the expected weather!

In addition to the NCL link already provided,there is a forum devoted to cruising with children: https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=49

We've been cruising with our kids since they were a year old. What ports are you visiting? I may have some suggestions.
