Hi, I am boarding Harmony of the Seas 7n western on 5/1/22 and I will have my 9 month old, and 11 & 13 year old boys. I am looking for all kinds of advice, tips, tricks etc. I plan to take my own travel crib because it's lightweight, compact, and I know its clean. But in general how does a pack-n-play fit into a room? I currently have a Boardwalk Balcony but I did the Offer Up (pending) for the ultra spacious room. I am thinking putting in an offer for the junior suite and also basic balcony room too. Maybe the ocean will be quieter for the baby to sleep. But anyway, I will have 2 adults, baby and 11yr old in my room so I am looking for suggestions on rooms. Should I go to a bigger suite? We are a party of 10 so I am unsure how it works if one room is a suite and the rest are basic. I want to dine with everyone so not looking to be secluded. Baby- How did you heat water for the bottle? How did you get water for the bottle? Did you take a sound machine? Did you take a stroller? Uppababy cruz or umbrella? Suggestions on what to carry on vs pack for the baby. Suggestions on packing enough but not a billion things for a 9m old. CoCoCay - Would you book a cabana? We were debating the over water one but it's not $1,899 so now looking at the chill island one for $999. We are doing the helium balloon and 3 out of 10 are doing the jetski otherwise the day will be chill on the island. All the adults have cruised before just not the kiddos so share what you got. Thanks in advance!

Hi Everyone! We are headed to Barcelona for a week on Wonder of the Seas in May. We will be travelling with our 8 month old. Would love tips and tricks for those that have travelled with little ones! Some questions I had: - Is it pack n play's that are supplied or are they actual cribs in the room? Did anyone bring a black out to go over top so the parents could keep some lights on after the little one went to bed? - 1/2 pumped breast milk and 1/2 formula. I can't seem to find read made formula in Barcelona, what are tips and tricks with bottles? Did anyone wash the bottles in the sink in the bathroom or buy the bottles with the disposable liners? Can I bring on extra distilled water for bottles or is the ship water safe for an 8 month old? - How easy is it to ask for steamed veggies in the dinning areas or Windjammer? What else am I missing. First time mom travelling for the first time with our baby! HELP Thanks Jenn

We are sailing Symphony of the Seas on Dec 18 with my 2 year old and 6 month old (both unvaccinated) and are banking on babysitting/ Royal Babies/ Royal Tots/ nursery drop-off (not sure what the appropriate term is?) so my husband and I could have a breather and enjoy some alone time. Would this be available for me to use given the COVID protocols and young children are unvaccinated? Was it available for your sailing? If so and you used it, anything noteworthy you'd like to share? TIA!

Will be going on Anthem in 19 days with my daughter (17 months). 50+ friends & family going for my brothers wedding. Best excursion recommendations and things to do on the ship for toddlers? First time cruising with a little one.... thanks!

Hey everyone, We have a question and haven’t been able to get a strait answer. We are sailing on the Harmony of the Seas in April 2019 and we are taking our one year old baby with us. Our question - for people who have sailed the Harmony or Similar ship - what are the hours of childcare for a one year old? Is childcare available all day during a port day? Or is it the same hours of 9-12am/2-5pm/7-10pm. We recently received an email letting us know that in room childcare was no longer available. Thank you

We are going on a cruise in June with our little one who will be 7.5 months old. Looking for any tips/advice from those who have done so in the past. From do we bring the car seat for the taxi on the way to the ship? Size of the crib in the room on the ship? Stroller? Water? Etc. TIA!
