well there are 2 ways to think about this.
1. Your child will have a lot of fun but will not remember it. So for some that makes it a waste of money.
2. You will remember all the fun your child will have so actually your doing this more for you than the child. But I guarantee the memories will be priceless. Plus the child will have fun.
There are pros and cons to any age.
The splash zone for toddlers is great. Bring plenty of swim duapers!!
Flounders nursery will have plenty of toys if you leave her there. I think its $6 per hour, 2 hour minimum. Counsleors will get down and play with yor child. They limit how many kids at a time, so you must have reservations. That way they can guarantee enough one on oen with every child. Sometimes when the older kids club is empty they will take toddlers in there to play for a bit too. There is a 2 way mirror you can look into anytime to see the kids. You will also have a beeper in case they need to page you.
Normally your limited to 10 hours per cruise but if you keep in touch with them, you can almost always pick up hours if you want.
When we took little ones we also walked them around deck 4 where it was quieter and often had them nap on the padded loungers there while we enjoyed the ocean view or read a book instead of being in the room while they napped.
Alos during the day around the sdult club area its ok for family and there are huge port hole windows with padded bottoms so you can sit and watch the waves. Our little ones loved to sit there.
In the evenign shows all the kids are talkative until the music starts them its like they are hypnotised by the music and bright colors and movements on stage. we always brought a treat to keep them busy until the show started. but thye loved the shows too.
Also when the live music was playing in the Promenade lounge they loved to bop up and down on the dance floor while we enjoyed the music. They wern alone, many kids joined in.
It was the same in the Studio Sea family dances. Little ones loved to dance around with everyone and nobody was bothered at all by it.
The wait staff is awesome with little ones too.
The youngest we took was 18 months, so a bit older than yours but if I was asked would you do it again ,even though they do get cranky and tired. I would say YES without hesitating!!
I figure they get cranky and tired at home too so why not have some fun at the same time, plus to see the smiles and looks when they saw characters was priceless.
we lived by the kiddie water areas. It was awesome!!
