  1. The cruise line will allow you to cruise. I believe some lines to request the doctor to approve that you are able to go, but I am not certain. All of the lines have a deadline that you are no longer able to travel after. I believe that most of them are once you are in the thrid trimester.

    The best thing is to ask either your travel agent or the cruise line directly to get accurate information for your particular situation.


  2. you shouldn't have a problem but i think in the cruise docs it tell you to what month you can.

  3. i was ten weeks pregnant in may 2006 on our ncl cruise....there was no problem...i enjoyed the luxury of having the beds made, meals made and i could take a nap..it was heaven...

  4. Cruise lines requesting a physician's letter (faxed in advance or hand delivered at time of check- in) will require this letter to state that woman and baby are in good health, fit to travel, and that the pregnancy is not high-risk. The letter must also include the expected date of the child's birth.

  5. Yes.  But only if you are under six months pregnant.  If you are over six months, they won't let you.  Only because the doctors on board the ship aren't prepared for that kind of stuff.

  6. depends how far along i guess...

  7. carnival says no after the 24th week. it depends on the cruise line.
