Cruise with toddler - did you do it? Any tips?

[OrangeMood]

Ladies, we booked a cruise on Carnival Glory to New England/Canada. We went to Alaska and the Caribbean by ourselves before but this is the first time we are going with our daughter.
Any tips/suggestions?
I want to purchase medical/evacuation insurance - can you recommend an insurance company that does it?

Thanks

We went to Newfoundland when DS#2 was almost 11 mths old. It was only a crossing of about 7 hours and it was torture. More for me because I literally hate boats of any kind. I was a little freaked but DS#2 spent most of his time in the stroller.

I have no advice for you on a cruise but I would look into one of those strap thingys that goes around there torso/waist and around your wrist. Maybe something for an upset tummy and no idea about insurance. I hope you have an awesome time.

No advice for cruising with a toddler, have not done that, but I can recommend Travelguard for trip insurance. We always use them for trip insurance, and one year we had to cancel a trip due to medical reasons. All of our expenses were reinbursed without any problems whatsoever.

We went on a Carnival cruise (Mexican Riveria) when my twins were 3 yo. It was great. We checked them into the kid club a couple times during the day, for about an hour at a time. They had fun activies for them. They give you a pager and will call you for any issues. We got a room with a balcony, so when my girls were down for a nap, I was able to sit outside and relax, though we did miss the evening entertainment. Overall, we had a great trip.
