CRUISE PACKING GUIDE for BABIES & TODDLERS

[@Stefanie1210]

Once again, this video was great! Now I know to bring disposable diaper bags. That’s going to be a life saver for my family as I’m so used to just using a diaper genie at home. We don’t get out much and I’m soooo excited for our upcoming cruise. I watched some of your other videos and I feel much more prepared!

[@ahoymommy]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ahoymommy]

Let me know if you found my checklist super helpful or if I need to tweak it and add some more things 😁

[@abbygarcia1151]

Love that you have extra formula just incase another mom needs some. You're my kind of mom ❤

[@ahoymommy]

Awwww 🤗

[@zoomzoomzoom29]

Preparedness level 1000! Thanks for all the great ideas! I’m loving your content.

[@ahoymommy]

Thanks for watching!

[@phucle1339]

Ha,Ha little girl really helpful...🤣🤣🤣

[@ahoymommy]

Very!

[@aislinnschepers]

Omg I’m 5’1 too and I struggled with baby carriers too! I found happy baby carrier to be the best.

[@ahoymommy]

That’s great to know! Are you still currently using it now? Definitely will help when you get off port and go on excursions!

[@justjess5518]

Thank you so much for making this video!! I'm taking my 3 year old on our first cruise ever and you really helped me pack our luggage without bringing the whole house lol

[@ahoymommy]

You're so welcome! 🤗

[@angelrubalcaba1247]

Omg sooo much useful information!!! Love this!

[@ahoymommy]

Thank you so much!

[@michaelgoedeker9697]

Great video!! Thank you!

[@lph6202]

This is so helpful 💕💕 travelling with a 9 month! You should share your experience flying with a baby!

[@ahoymommy]

That is a great idea! However, my baby will turn 1 in a week and she is already walking, so she just stepped into her toddler stage 😆But we are doing an international flight February 2024, so I will definitely show my experience on flying with 2 toddlers then 😁

[@ziporrahdukes9149]

Thanks this was very helpful

[@loveinthewebb6168]

Cloth diaper skirt I’ve never heard of!

[@ahoymommy]

Yes! Really great to use for potty training and not have to throw the whole waterproof mattress and blankets in the wash. However, don’t use any fabric softener on it or it will lose its absorbency and I usually just let it air dry.

[@tfyyyy]

Thanks for making this video. It’s very helpful. Did you find it easier to use two separate strollers vs one double stroller? I have two young toddlers

[@ahoymommy]

Easier with 2 separate strollers bc some deck hallways are narrow when stateroom staff are cleaning and can only fit 1 stroller

[@lindsaysmith5638]

Thanks for all the tips! We're waiting till we stop breastfeeding but im planning now, so many great ideas,looking up disposable bibs now haha

[@ahoymommy]

They are great! My baby is at the age where the hair band bows and bibs are getting ripped off now! But I have to be quick to distract her and she has to have food in her hands to not rip off the bib 😅

[@ItsBrittany.]

QUESTION: What about if you make your baby food? Do you know how i would travel with that by chance? I puree my babies food

[@ahoymommy]

I don’t know since I’ve packed prepackaged food for my baby for ports and excursions. I have read in Facebook cruise groups that families had had the Main Dining Room purée their food no problem when they asked

[@mle011]

Are there rules to where you can throw dirty diapers away, or does any trash can work? Bringing 9 month old twins on a RC cruise next month!!

[@ahoymommy]

No rules for how you throw away dirty diapers, any trash can will work. They have staff cleaning all over the ship everyday and housekeeping comes to your room everyday as well. Yay! Excited for your twins! They’ll have a blast!

[@mle011]

Thank you! We’re excited for our first vacation with them. I’ll be pumping 4x a day still so I’m glad to see I won’t be the first mom to have to pump on a cruise ship!!

[@ahoymommy]

@@mle011 yay excited for you! Definitely stay hydrated to keep your pump sessions. The buffet food can be salty too. Plan in advance to have water in your stateroom. Pumping always made me thirsty, so I always went to the gym to refill my half gallon water bottle, from the water fountain to drink at night.

[@tonipiche6183]

the formula can has to be seal? thanks

[@ahoymommy]

no, it doesn't

[@tonipiche6183]

@@ahoymommy thank you

[@Scentsationaljoy]

How did the portable bottle cleaner work for you? We’re going on a cruise with our 6MO in Jan & I’m stressing! Thank you for this list!!

[@ahoymommy]

It worked pretty well! I did save it for traveling.

[@Scentsationaljoy]

@ ooh! Ok thank you!

[@aislinnschepers]

How did you store breastmilk while on the ship especially with an oversupply (because the 4 day rule)

[@ahoymommy]

I used the room fridge. My daughter drank a lot more bc we were out in the pool or out on the beach everyday. For the bags that were left in the fridge too long, I did have to dump.

[@cindyjerrypiard6468]

You can pack your milk and keep in your small personal cooler, your room stewardess can get you ice daily and if you want to freeze it you can take it to guest service at any time and they will keep them all for you until you disembark. Just make sure it’s labeled and you keep track of how many you give them.

[@ReadingwithCaptainRick]

How about sleeping? Did you bring a pack and play?

[@ahoymommy]

I have not. I was able to request a crib or pack and play before and on the ship.
