Stroller rental on Carnival?

[YayGirlsTrip]

I could have sworn I had seen something about stroller rentals, but maybe I am imagining things? Are there strollers for rent for port use?

 

I'm debating bringing our umbrella stroller for use in Jamaica and Grand Cayman. My DD is 5 yrs old and tall, and looks silly in it at this age, but I imagine it could come in handy if we do much roaming around (even for toting souvenirs!).

 

What are your thoughts?

No, you aren't seeing things. I just looked it up and it says $25 -

Single and Double Stroller: collapsible; roof/umbrella

Strollers can be used on the ship and in the port-of-calls.

 

Single Stroller

Jeep - Kolcraft Enterprises, Inc.

"Jeep Wrangler Sport”

Model: 55095 - PA23470 (HK)

 

Double Stroller

“Jeep Wrangler Twin Sport”

Model: 55111

 

With that being said, I have not PERSONALLY tried this. But I am able to pull the info from the CCL site and have seen flyers on this included with our camp carnival info when we get onbaord.

Is that $25 a day, or for the whole trip?

Thanks! I'll discuss it with DH. Just remembered that his mom is going to be with us and she is a germ FREAK! LOL. She would probably be appauled. :rolleyes:

Check the weight limit on those strollers! My 5 year old is 57 pounds and 47 inches tall! I decided to go ahead and get a Maclaren Volo. Last year in San Juan I had to carry my son for 30 minutes because he refused to keep walking. After a meltdown, I carried him back. Want to avoid that whole situation this summer.

I would bet the weight limit is 40 pounds on the Jeep stroller.

Yep, you can rent strollers (as well as video game systems) from the ship, on a first-come-first-served basis. I saw posters advertising this in front of Camp Carnival, so I assume that's where you rent them.

 

We brought our own deluxe umbrella stroller that folded flat. It was less than $20 at Wally World, and has a storage basket and canopy. Because the handle was a straight bar, rather than the two separate U-shaped handles that standard umbrella strollers have, we were able to slide our daughter's booster seat onto the handle and secure it with a bungee cord. Not only did this make it easier to transport her car seat through port, but it also made a great handle extender so my hubby wouldn't have to lean over to push the stroller.

We rented the Jeep stroller from Camp Carnival on our last cruise- it worked just fine and you can use it whereever you want. Just return it at the end of the cruise. Its $25 no matter how long the cruise is.

wow I am so glad that this thread is up. I had not thought of using a stroller for our ds who will be 4 at the time of sailing. He is so independant we barely use any stroller for him at home. I am glad to hear that we will have the option of using one on the ship for shore excursions.

A tall 5 year old will not fit in the Jeep stroller. My son broke his foot at 4 and he was 45 inches at the time. We went stroller shopping and the Jeep was the first one out- too short between the seat and the foot rest and a very low weight limit. His knees were up around his shoulders in that one!

 

We have a Graco Ipo now that we take on really long trips or lots of walking. He's 6 and doesn't look silly in it, can still put his head back and sleep and it's very easy to push with him in it.
