I have been meaning to post a review for a long time now. I usually try to make a very complete, thorough review but unfortunately, I simply don't have time to do that now. But, I did want to post about the very positive experience we had sailing with our baby. Prior to our trip, I did quite a bit of research/reading about cruising with a baby and to be honest, I didn't find many positive opinions or people that had had positive experiences. We had already booked and we weren't prepared to cancel so we went hoping for the best. It was fantastic! Our daughter loved climbing back and forth between the room and the balcony. We got a cabin overlooking the boardwalk so that, when it was bedtime for her, she could be in the dark quiet cabin and we could sit on the balcony people watching. It was definitely nice having that divide which allowed us to still enjoy ourselves after she went to bed. We made use of the Royal Babies and Tots nursery one evening for a couple hours while we went to watch Mamma Mia and on a couple afternoons, so that we could enjoy some relaxing, adult time poolside. We were very pleased with the care provided and the space/toys that were available to the babies. They had cribs for naps, various toys, changed diapers and fed the babies according to the instructions left with them. Prior to each visit, they would do a 1 on 1 consultation with the parents to get information about the baby and their needs. There was a charge but it was very reasonable (I want to say $6 per hour during the day and $8 per hour during the evening but don't quote me on that). We ate in the main dining room every night and as soon as we arrived, they brought over a cup of sliced fruit for her which she thoroughly enjoyed and helped to keep her occupied until our meals arrived. Cruise ships do not allow non potty trained babies to use the swimming pools. In my opinion, it's important to find a ship that has a baby/toddler splash park/zone. The Allure has a large area of very shallow toddler pools which our daughter really enjoyed. We also bought a little fold up actitivity jumper for her to sit/stand in while we were sitting on the deckchairs poolside. This worked really well for her at this age but probably wouldn't be effective now that she's 14 months and walking everywhere as she doesn't like being contained. The staff was fantastic with our daughter and every employee that we came across took the time to say hello and play with her a little bit. Labadee was a fantastic port for us as the beach was beautiful and calm and we were really close to the ship so we could simply walk back when we were done. Overall, we had a fantastic holiday and for us, cruising with a baby was a great experience.
