Cruising with an infant

score:10

Accepted answer

I searched for infant in the Carnival FAQs and found the following (in order of relevance to you)

  • Minimum age for sailing is 6 months, with the exceptions of Transatlantic, Hawaii and South American cruises, which are 12 months.
  • Cribs are provided complimentary in staterooms.
  • The onboard nonfree childcare will accept (to a limited extent) children under 2 and children in diapers, and will change diapers if you provide them.
  • no child in a diaper is allowed in a pool, whirlpool, water slide etc
  • Baby food and formula is not available onboard.

So it seems your answer on Carnival is NO. They're not equipped and you're not allowed. I didn't search other cruise lines, but since the rationale for not allowing them is worry that such a small baby could get sick very quickly, I suspect you'll find the same elsewhere.

Disney Cruise Line also disallows children under 6 months (or 12 months for certain longer itineraries) beginning last year.
