My 1 year old is on her 3rd cruise with
Royal Caribbean this year.
We love the flexibility of taking a cruise. Cruising just makes travelling a lot easier with a baby.
Olivia has cruised on the Adventure of the seas taking a short trip to France. Followed by a splash out cruise around the Caribbean for mummy’s birthday on the Oasis of the Seas and this month we have just boarded the Independence of the seas for a 11 night cruise around the Canary Islands.
The Independence holds special memories for us as a family so we were excited to introduce this ship to our daughter. We have had many special moments already which is why today I have decided to keep an onboard account of some of our favourite “wow” moments.
Day1
Olivia is wearing her sailors outfit today. We have packed all of her favourite things including a good selection of toys because of course sailing from Southampton means zero luggage allowance! Checking in with our Gold card was smooth and easy and we had met up with Olivia’s Diamond card holder Granddaddy just in time for lunch. We upgraded ourselves to a suite this trip and all our expectations were met. We love our room and there is space for Olivia to play and bum shuffle around! After registering with the nursery and a little exploring we decided to take advantage of ordering room service for dinner. Our suite has a dining area so we enjoyed a 3 course meal knowing our baby was asleep and safe beside us. The staff have been very accommodating and everybody adores the baby!
