Advice for cruising with young children?

We%26#039;ve already booked a cruise on Norwiegan Cruise Lines to the Mexican Riviera. We%26#039;re taking our 21 month old and almost 5 year old kids with us. We%26#039;ll have extended family with us to help out as well.





I%26#039;m trying to think of everything we%26#039;ll need and I%26#039;m sure there will be things that I can%26#039;t come up with on my own. Any suggestions?





I%26#039;ve already bought the cloth swim diapers (they don%26#039;t allow the disposable kind). I have water shoes for both kids. We have a brand new bottle of sunblock. We%26#039;ll obviously take children%26#039;s medicines with us just in case. We%26#039;re driving their so we%26#039;ll have some things to keep them entertained in the car.





It%26#039;s difficult planning for such a multi-faceted vacation -car trip, hotel stay, cruise, and shore excursions. We%26#039;ve been on a cruise before, but never with kids.





Thanks in advance for all your help!

Reply:You are gonna need toys for them and other things to do. Bring both child%26#039;s favorite toys especially for the hotels. Not alot for little ones to do other than the pool and if your at hotel for awhile that gets a little old. I brought some paper and crayons and books lots of book. Reading to the kids calms them as well as occupies their minds. Have fun
