Thread: Cruises For Children?

At what age is a cruise appropriate for a child? Before I had my daughter I loved to take cruises, but now that I have a two year old I fear for her safety. When would this become less of an issue?

I would advise to wait until they are at least seven. I think two is unfortunately too young safety-wise.

I completely agree that two is too young. What about Disney cruises, when do they start pushing them? What ages are the activities provided for-that would give some idea at least of when the cruise company thought them safe.

I think that seven is too young to me. I think that you should go for at least 13 years old. I just don't do too well with the whole boat thing and kids.

I think it really just depends on the type of cruise you are going on. For example, a Disney cruise is going to be far more child-oriented that many others. They of course will make sure that the environment is safer for children than others. I would just look into the individual cruise lines.
