You might be eager to return to cruising after giving birth to your bundle of joy. But hold on because no major cruise line allows babies under six months to sail.
If you’re a die-hard cruiser wondering if there is any flexibility with your baby’s first cruise, there isn’t. Some travelers have fudged their baby’s birth date on their cruise booking information, only to be foiled at check-in.
Remember your infant’s actual birth date will be revealed on their birth certificate or passport. If your baby is denied boarding because they are too young to cruise, you won’t be getting a refund and, of course, you won’t be taking the trip either.
INSIDER TIPCheck your cruise line’s contract of carriage before booking your infant on any cruise. Some sailings prohibit babies under 12 months old. Not to mention, cruising with a baby may be more difficult than you imagined.
