Accommodation with a small child on a boat.

Typically, standard cabins on ships look like a compartment - a window, two beds on the walls and a table between them. Most major cruise lines offer free travel for children under 5 without a seat in the same cabin as an adult. River cruises are not cheap and are a good opportunity to save money and go sailing together with the whole family.
How to sleep on a ship with a child? If you have a baby, then squeezing a stroller in the aisle between the beds is probably real. Already a separate cradle - for sure. But with a larger child, you can sleep together on the same bed, but it is not comfortable. The way out for comfort is to take a cabin of an improved category, so that instead of one single bed there is a folding sofa or the ability to put a folding bed. This time we sailed on, it is considered a luxury ship, and all cabins have a double bed in it - it is very comfortable to sleep with the baby.
On motor ships, a stroller in the cabin can normally be placed only when folded - there is very little space. But on the other hand, you can easily leave it in common areas - no one will touch it.
Walking around the ship and open decks with a stroller is not very convenient, but you want and, of course, you need to - it’s not all sailing to sit in the cabin :). But keep in mind the very steep stairs from deck to deck. Although the ship's staff is always ready to help you - lift / carry. Motor ship "Princess Victoria" - so far the only ship in Russia with an elevator!
Do not forget to bring anti-mosquito products and warm clothes for the evening. Even if the forecast predicts heat, it will be windy and cold on the deck in the evening on the water. On many ships, those who wish are given blankets to sit on the decks, but this is not a mandatory option.
And some who have not swum have a stereotype that they can get motion sickness on such cruises. So, I will say - it does not shake at all. Although managers advise taking a cabin on a higher deck when buying a tour, supposedly there may be vibration from the engine compartment below.

Food for the child on the ship.

Usually, free accommodation for children without a seat does not include meals. This is perhaps the moment that worried me the most. How and what to feed?
The first option is that on any ship you can buy food for the child separately (it is better to specify the cost when buying a tour, it is different on each ship).
The second and economical option is to eat at a common table. Today, on river cruises, most often for breakfast you will be offered a buffet, where there will be cereals, omelettes, pancakes, etc. That is, with a buffet, the child will definitely not remain hungry. Well, lunch and dinner - this is most often on the menu - will be shared "brotherly". Vacationers choose dishes from the menu themselves, usually from several first and second courses, appetizers and desserts.
The restaurants have high chairs, I hope everyone has enough.
I recommend taking only drinks from mine (except tea) and not forgetting something for snacks (fruits, cookies ...). As for dairy products, when buying a ticket, check if there is a refrigerator in the cabin (we had one).
On any ship for public use, there is free hot water for tea and other things all the time. I know that somewhere there is a microwave (it is necessary to specify when buying a tour). But in any case, in a restaurant (only during its opening hours), if you need, you can always ask to warm up your own for the child.

Entertainment for children on the ship.

There are no problems with this at all. In addition to caring parents, who, of course, will take their favorite and always new (for distraction) toys, books, pencils, almost all ships have children's rooms and often with an animator. Schedule of all master classes, collective games, competitions, discos are announced in advance - do not miss it. And to take a walk on the deck, look at the shores and some water - this is a self-evident entertainment :). I recommend not to forget binoculars at home. By the way, I know that there are boats from which you can even fish.

Feel free to ask me if there is something that concerns you, I didn't tell you. HAPPY SWIMMING!
