Quick question for one of you cruise veterans.....probably more for someone with kids. How easy is it to get apple juice? Is it only at sit down restaurants? How about at the beverage station? I'm debating if I need to buy a bottle and bring it along. Thanks!!
Did a search of Apple Juice? One Persons comments below: Good Luck
got off the Magic last month and sailed with my 18 month old and 3 year old (both boys) I had them split the beds in the cabin and had two bed rails on each bed ( he sleeps in a twin at home) and I slept on the couch. This arrangement was great for naps because I could just pull the curtains and watch tv or rest while he slept. Normally he has one mid day nap, but cruising wore him out so he had a before lunch nap and an afternoon nap (like 4) or sometimes he would make it to dinner and he would nap after someone walked him while the rest of us stayed at dinner. It only took about 10 minutes of walking to knock him out. He would wake up just in time for the 8:30 show! He loved all of the shows except for Twice charmed. .
We spent a lot of time at the splash zone (bring some cheap boats and stuff from dollar store) My son was the only one who had little toys to play with although Flounders brings some up on port days for an hour. I did not use Flounders, but I brought him into Oceaneers and stayed with him while he playedat least once a day. Random thought: I wish I brought raisins because they didn't have any on the ship. Tip: order
apple juice (or whatever) at night and put it in the cooler, in the morning you will have some
juice. ALso
Apple juice isn't available after Topsiders closes unless you go to a bar or order from room service. (maybe I am wrong , but I couldn't find it) It was hard standing in line for characters because my son didn't really get the concept that you have to wait your turn but we were able to get some character pics on port days at 9am when people were getting ready for excursions. Our servers brought the kids out grapes as soon as we sat down for dinner and also got some special things for them for dessert like Fruit Loops and a bowls of sprinkles. They want to help so don't be afraid of asking for anything. I brought my own swim diapers, wipes, and diapers. I also brought my own pails and shovels from the dollar store for
castaway cay. Rent a bike if you can on CC. It was great and my son loved it. They have toddler seats on some of the bikes (and helmets) Be first to get off at CC (well not first, but get off early) they have wagons and strollers to borrow so you don't have to get yours all sandy, but they have limited quantities. You also want to get off early to get a nice shady spot for your family. I saw many families who got off late walking the beach looking for a spot. Those are some tips, most of them I learned on here!!
