Cruise vacations

Hello all,
I would like to take a vacation before baby arrives and was wondering if a cruise would be a good choice? Has anyone taken a cruise while expecting? Im 4 months now but planning to take vacation when I'm around 6-7 months. So far my pregnancy has been normal aside from the severe constipation:/. Thoughts/suggestions greatly appreciated.

We went on a Disney cruise when I was 20 weeks.  It was awesome but we had to move it up for the same reason, couldn't go after 24 weeks.

I was actually shopping around and carnival was the line i was leaning towards. And  I wasnt even thinking about sea sickeness at all! But now i am. I cant go on vacation until im at least 6 months, due to work. so the cruise is definitely not an option then.  Thanks for the input.

Screw them then!! Lol jk
Its n totally fine. They just don't wanna be stuck in the ocean having you in labor. allot of things could go wrong.
But aren't you scared of being sea sick?
The smell of the ocean?
Try n put everything into prospective.
At the end, you will be fine......just don't want it to work against you're health.

I'm sorry that post wasn't very clear . When my stepdad called to book the cruise , they asked him if anyone was pregnant && he told them that his daughter was . They informed us that I couldn't step foot on the boat if I was 24 weeks or more . Also , you aren't allowed if you'll turn 24 weeks during anytime during the cruise . Luckily for me I'll be 22 weeks when the cruise ends . This is through carnival . I'm not sure about other cruise lines but I'm sure the same standards apply . && you cant lie about how far you are either because you must have your doctor fax them all your info .

I'm going on one in 2 weeks && they said I couldn't come of I was 24 weeks or more . So no , you wouldn't be able to take a cruise . At least not with carnival .
