Is there any prob wif ur boy sleeping in e cabin? Im quite worried my gal wil, first time bringing her on a trip so im getting quite paranoid.
And also, iszt difficult to bathe ur boy? I heard e toilet is v small.

Did you put ur son at e childcare? I hope i can put my gal in childcare for a while so tat i can go casino. Hehe...

Re: Bringing toddler on Cruise!
The usual stuff adults use actually blocks the channel between the ear & the brain ... so that the brain only receives non-conflicting signals from the eye. But I dunno whether there is any side-effects when used on young children.
:biggrin: :biggrin:
I suggest you check with your regular PD on what to give your kid, in case of seasickness ... people who cannot overcome this condition could end up feeling nauseous, vomitting all day.Charbabe said:

Re: Bringing toddler on Cruise!
Anyways, the passenger liners usually already took precautions ... for example, the cruises will not head out to the open South China Seas during the NE monsoon season, but offer locations found in the more sheltered Straights of Malacca instead.
It is around the change-over period now ... so, even if your cruise heads out to South China Seas, it should still be reasonably calm.
However, nothing is absolute ... your gal can still be one of the rare ones who cannot take the slightest rocking of the ship, on a consistent basis. Just like my ex-wife ... who I brought onto a naval ship once & she immediately felt like puking because the ship was rocking a wee bit due to the wind, although it was secured firmly to the pier.
If this should be the case, dun feed her too much liquid ... even if you fear dehydration,, let her sip on the water-intake. You see, the nauseousness comes about becoz of the tummy (filled with lots of liquid) being swung from left to right ... besides that, it is also the liquid which forms the main bulk of what gets puked out.

Re: star cruises
Been to sun cruise twice, the cruise that sank a couple of years back. Its quite a nice getaway.
You can go swimming, spa, mini golf, exercise, etc. depending on the facilities they have there.
The cruise staff will organise games and activities for the children and parents such as face-painting, movie marathon etc. Its quite fun! The food is free for every meal so you can choose the cuisine you want. There is casino too if you are interested.

Re: star cruises
Had been on Star Cruise Virgo to Penang & Phuket recently.
My activities is like eat, sleep, eat, sleep, totally relaxed.
It included breakfast, lunch, high tea, dinner and supper, so eating non-stop.
I did not got off at Penang, need to transfer on the bumboat to go to the jetty and i'm pregnant, so give it a miss.
As for Phuket, it stops just beside the jetty and we signed up for the shopping excursion abt $45 each pax, so the local guide will bring u shopping ard Phuket, we went to cashew nut factory, sea products wholesale, lunch at thai restaurant, shop at the Central mall and Patong beach.
As for in the ship, we played arcade, watch movies(not much choices though) and also their special shows every night. The crews will also organise bingo game, dances, art & craft, alot of activities u can feel free to join in.
I would say it's a great experience totally, especially for a first-time cruiser.

Re: star cruises
Hate to get wet with sea water, covered with sand, dripping to find a place to bathe so .... Didnt do much on Phuket beach cos having a special needs child + her barang made us 'relax' at the beach for a few hrs, ate MacDonald (ya, all the way to Phuket just to eat McD, a bit crazy and blow sea breeze).
When we got time to swim on board, it drizzle so it was super cold. The pool is just next to arcade and THERE'S NO BATHROOM/CHANGING ROOM at the pool. U only get towels to dry n return to yr rm for proper shower.
Suppose the best part on Virgo trip was buffet.... 2yrs ago. The trip could be a satisfactory one if the last night had no rocky sea ... sea sick.
Think I prefer my Star cruise to nowhere when I was still single 10yrs ago... I could even go play jackpot ... with kids, I'm strapped!
We got down to Penang for lunch with our big BIG grp then set off to the shopping ctr which gave us only 45mins to shop .... how to? So I didnt get to visit any special attraction nor got time buy any Penang product. How to drag my kids around, comb the whole shopping ctr in 45mins? End up we stay put in a toy store while HB grabbed an ice-cream.
