Car seats

[dgadale]

Do car seats fit under the beds on inside rooms on Royal Caribbean? Specifically we are sailing on the Freedom. We have to bring our car seats for our 3 and 5 year olds since we are flying in and staying at a hotel 2 nights before the cruise, I don't think there's any other way to get to our hotel and to the port from our hotel without taking a taxi. (Flying into FLL and staying at the Courtyard at Ft Lauderdale beach.)

I don't think a car seat will fit under the beds. You can probably get them in the closet, or just put them in a corner.

No - not under the bed. I agree with the closet.

Thanks! There isn't any other option to bringing car seats, is there? At least the 5, almost 6 year old, is big and can just use a booster seat, but my 3 year old is only 36lbs and 40 inches, so I think she still needs a regular car seat.

You might want to look into a Ride Safer Travel Vest. It's useful for a lot of things, besides this cruise.

I had our cabin stewart stow our car seat. If you do that, be sure to have it returned the night before you disembark. Mine got separated on arrival (not a big deal but easily avoided).

If you're worried about space, you could look into the Diono Radian, it folds and would fit under a bed. Otherwise I can vouch for inverting one seat on top of the other to reduce the space taken up in a closet; however it was on a NCL ship.

Some car services will provide a car seat if you hire them to transport you. We were able to get our room attendant to store our car seat somewhere once on a Disney cruise and bring it back to us on the last night. Wouldn't hurt to ask.
