carbon Posted September 12, 2013 #1 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Anyone with child in diapers? Thinking we should just buy in orlando before heading to the port. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSLeesburg Posted September 12, 2013 #2 Share Posted September 12, 2013 From what I have read, it is much cheaper than buying them on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Essiesmom Posted September 12, 2013 #3 Share Posted September 12, 2013 If they even have them on the ship. Most ships don't. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted September 12, 2013 #4 Share Posted September 12, 2013 You will want to have ALL the baby stuff you need. You may not find in on the ships at all. If there is any baby stuff, it will cost you dearly. Bring or buy diapers BEFORE you get on the ship! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lerin Posted September 12, 2013 #5 Share Posted September 12, 2013 We've bought a box of diapers right before getting to port and taped a luggage tag to them. On the way home we used the box to carry fragile items we'd bought by wrapping them in leftover diapers. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twelvevman Posted September 12, 2013 #6 Share Posted September 12, 2013 NCL allows you to order diapers and wipes pre cruise to be delivered to your cabin but they are not cheap. If you have the opportunity to buy before heading to the ship I would. We brought ours with us in the luggage but would be easier to by them close to the port. Also make sure to have extra wipes....our son cut a tooth during the trip which wrecked havoc with his stomach :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prinycesa07 Posted September 12, 2013 #7 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I dont even remember seeing them on the ship. We brought a box with us. But yes, if you're flying, i would try to get them in Orlando. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruisin' Chick Posted September 13, 2013 #9 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Definitely when coming up with your packing checklist, also make a list of things you might need for your baby/toddler/preschooler. If flying to your embarkation port, always pad in an extra day before your cruise so that you can go shopping for things you didn't want to pack. Don't trust the ship to have the exact size or variety of diapers, pullups, medications, favorite snacks. Also bring sippy cup, bottles, a small size of dish detergent. If you're on a ship with a self-service laundry, pack Dreft or whatever detergent you use -- I would put load size amounts in ziplock bags and then put those in a larger ziplock bag just in case of a leak.

jlrn366419 Posted September 13, 2013 #10 Share Posted September 13, 2013 In the past we packed some and bought additional before boarding the ship. Depending on the age of the child, I'd also recommend pull ups or those huggies slip on diapers since it might make changing easier if no changing table is readily available.

Keith1010 Posted September 15, 2013 #12 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Either way buy them ahead of time before you board the ship. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apey9995 Posted September 16, 2013 #13 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Has anyone used diapers.com for delivery? (To the hotel, I mean). I've read some blogs on other sites, and it seems like a great solution! I'm going to try it. We stay in Miami the night before the cruise, so I'm going to order diapers and wipes to be delivered to the hotel the day of check in at the hotel. (They have free 2-day shipping). This way I can just pack a few diapers and wipes in my carry on for the flight. Just curious if anyone else has tired this before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
