Cruising with an infant

Cruising with an infant - White and Blue Boat on Water Near City Buildings

I'm looking to go on a cruise leaving from New York but have a concern because if I go I will be traveling with a 4 month old infant.

The question is whether the cruise ships are actually equipped to handle infants of that age?

And what are some of the practical considerations I should consider when cruising with child that age?



Best Answer

Disney Cruise Line also disallows children under 6 months (or 12 months for certain longer itineraries) beginning last year.

Infants must be at least 6 months of age at the time of embarkation in order to sail.

Most cruise lines mandate the child be six months old or older on the day of embarkation. This means that the child must be at least that age by cruise day.
