Sorry for taking so long to reply, just got back from Daytona Beach (no cruise 
)
Ever notice that people who are not baby friendly refer to babies as "it"? (Not trying to start an argument but just making an observation) I understand the apprehensions of taking a baby on board, and even though we have pretty much made up our minds I wanted to see what a general consensus would be, fortunately it has been very positive. Leaving our daughter behind would definatly NOT be a break. We don't need a break from our daughter, my wife would be so stressed she would have an absolute awful time if our daughter was not with us.
>> I'm curious...why don't you want to take your daughter off the ship?
Being overly protective I trust her on the boat with my sister-and -law and friends not the locals in Grand Cayman and Cozumel. However we are considering taking her on some excursions, I just need to see if we have to pay full price for her to go along.
>> On the cruises I've been on, unsupervised teens are much more obnoxious than any baby. Or how about the loud, drunk guy in his speedo on the elevator during formal night? Or how about the guy who buys the Cuban cigar and smokes it on the Lido Deck when it's wall to people?
Good point, I hadn't thought about that, I will mention that if someone questions me about it.
>> I vote to take her with you. You are making family memories.
After spending the week at the beach with her, we definatly want to take her now, we have so many memories and pictures that we can't wait until the cruise! We are in the beginnings of planning next years cruise with us and my wifes family as a result!!
Thanks for all the replies and support, we are going to have an awesome time, and now I know not to smoke cuban cigars on the Lido deck (Just kidding)
