If you're taking a cruise, you need to be aware that most won't take kids under 6mths old and that kids need to be potty trained before they're allowed in the pool. That means no swim diapers.

Sucked that one kid got to play in the pool and the other couldn't. We made up for it at the beaches at each stop, however.

We love cruising.. been on about 5-6. Kids love it too. So nice to just go and eat whenever we want. Carnival has some nice kids areas too now, big splash parks. You can also leave the kids in the carnival kids area for a few hours if you want. They give you a cell phone and the kids just play, make crafts etc. We only did it once or twice for a few hours... some other parents literally ditched their kids in there every day for hours on end, which was kind of sad.
