8 recommendations for traveling with the baby on the boat
Although it is true that traveling with a baby carries certain logistical complications, these disappear on cruises that are usually prepared to face any situation. Traveling by boat with a baby is much more comfortable than doing it by car, train or plane and the only drawback we find is that the baby can get sick the first day. Something that also happens to adults. We have somerecommendations for traveling by boat with the baby.
1.Choose a cruise with an interesting route but not too long and try that the departure and arrival are in your country of origin to avoid the journey by plane.
2. Check with the travel agency or the shipping company for the age limit for babies. Most cruises allow any baby to travel from 6 months.
3. You will need your baby's ID and a health card to board. And so you'll have any health needs covered at any stop. Also do not forget to bring the basic medicines that your baby may need, although in almost all cruises there is a company doctor.
4. When preparing your baby's suitcase, keep in mind the summer outdoor temperature, but inside the boat the air conditioning is usually too strong. Do not skimp on jackets and warm clothes for your baby. 5.
Before hiring the cruise, ask if the boat has facilities and accessories for babies. In some boats you can find cradles, bathtubs and even nannies that take care of your baby at specific moments. 6.
On this vacation, forget about the baby's cart and just take a folding chair . Although the most useful both to be on the boat and for excursions to different cities will be the baby carrier.7.
Try to carry all the accessories that your baby needs for food, such as jars or baby bottles . If you are still breastfeeding your baby, you are in luck, because you will have to worry about less details.8.
Remember that your baby is responsibility yours. If you already walk or crawl you will have to be very aware of it. And do not ever forget that your family does not travel alone on the cruise, act with responsibility and respect because all passengers have the right to enjoy their vacations. Laura Vélez
