Planing to take the children on a cruise this November on Carnival Cruise Lines, Boat Sensation to the Bahamas. This will be our first cruise and I just wanted some insight of what I should pack and shouldn't pack. What to expect by me traveling the ocean in November.
Also the ages at the time of the cruise for the children will be 2yrs, 13yrs, 14yrs, 17yrs. Do I still pack a car seat (here in Michigan it's mantory for a child under the age of 8 to be in a car seat), am I allowed to pack my own stroller or do I rent.
Any help will be apprechiated.
Answer :
I see that no a single answer has been posted......so I'll tell you our experience. We cruised during the last week of November. We anticipated "tropical" weather. On our departure a cold front was working it's way across the southeast. It was windy.....so windy that the top level of the ship never opened. The seas were high and the water was sloshing out of the pool. If anyone ever tells you that large cruise vessels are not subject to waves and causing sea sickness.....they are lying. There was a roaming vomit patrol and barf bags conveniently located through out the ship. Make sure you bring coats.....it gets cold.....your at sea and winter is approaching. "Fun Day at Sea" can be miserable.
Now the good stuff. The food was okay......but certainly not what they claim. The kids program on Carnival is outstanding. It was very obvious ALL the kids had a great time.
If you want to make it reasonably certain that you enjoy yourselves......go further south than the Bahamas. The West Indies (Leewards) is very nice during late November. It's warmer.....and that alone makes for a huge difference.
