We prefer late, but we take early seating when cruising with our 10-year-old. Actually, the perfect time for us would be somewhere between the two, around 7:15, 7:30.

I can answer this with no hesitation whatsoever -- Tom Dentino of the old Dolphin Cruise Line. He was CD on SS SeaBreeze in 1993, the first time we were onboard this fine vessel. He emceed just about every event, got to know the names of many passengers, and had a great sense of humor. He was more than "the guy on the stage" I've seen on many of the larger ships. I doubt anyone will ever come close to replacing Tom on the top of our list.

Hi GiWiz! Speaking from experience, it is easier to travel with an infant than an older child. But -- first make sure that the cruise line will allow a 5-month old to cruise. Most lines have a minimum age of at least 6 months, although some will make exceptions. Our son was 11 months old on his first cruise, and we had a wonderful experience. We brought a lightweight umbrella stroller, which was essential for getting around both on the ship and in port. (We carried him into the dining room though, as space is usally tight.) Waiters doted on him, as did several passengers. Should you go, it's usually better to opt for early dining as that is when most families dine. If you are concerned about other passengers, as we certainly were, request a table for four in the dining room. I'll be happy to answer any other questions you may have. And, welcome to CruiseCrazies! Edited to add: The fact that you asked about experiences with other passengers' infants shows me that you are a considerate person, so I doubt your young one will create a bad experience for others.

Congratulations, Mebert! I'm glad to hear it all worked out, and with a fine ship, too!

Keith, I'm sure they'd make you a PB sandwich with no hesitation. I've actually ordered off of the children's menu in the past. Best mac-and-cheese I ever had. :)
