Re: what cruise to go on with a 7month baby
If you aim for a cruise where there isn't too much night-life you should do fine. She's very young to be left with a ship sitter, and most people seem to suggest that such tiny babies would probably benefit from having a grandparent or extended family member sit them rather than a 'stranger', but that's a matter of personal preference. Some lines won't accept such a small baby, so you need to check if they will have her on board at all and if they will offer any facilities once she's there (some Kid's Clubs are only open to toilet trained tots).
Remember to take your own buggy and nappies and powdered milk if she's on it - ship buggies can be less than perfect and nappies and milk are horrendously expensive and sometimes get sold out! Holland America and RCI both have great reputations for the under ones, but the cruise line that always scores highest for babies is, of course, Disney!
