Expert Q&A
![]() | ||
| By Bonnie Ramirez Cruise Expert Marketing Director for PleazurCruises | ||
My sister says children should not go on cruises. Is she right?
Your sister is misinformed. Cruises have lots of fun things for children to do. On major cruise lines such as Royal Caribbean, Holland, Norwegian, Disney and Carnival cruise lines, they all have a sort of ""day camp"" for kids from ages 2 and up. For children under 2, they have a babysitting service, but not for babies under 6 months of age since any child under that age can't go on a cruise (liability and for medical reasons).
