Id think it would be easier to take your own. Ren

I have been on a few cruises. They do not have strollers for rent as far as I know. I would take a small stroller just to get around the ship but definitely not a big one. There will be too many narrow passages for you to walk through. Something like those umbrella strollers might be good, or one a little bit bigger.
If you are flying to meet your ship you do not want to drag a big stroller with you anyway. I don’t know if the airlines would even allow it. Have fun on board! Tanya

some that you can rent. I would call them ask and have them describe the stroller to you. It might not be as comfortable as yours. You do not want an unhappy baby on your hands. Or have to carry your baby in your arms if your baby doesn’t want to nap in their strollers. But thats what I would do is to contact them and have them give you a full discription of the stroller. illegitimacy

It may be trouble, but bringing your own stroller helps cut down on germ introduction from previous users of “public” strollers. Also, your own stroller is familiar to you and your child, and all the ways your stroller feels to your child will be there, even the smell of your stroller (not that it stinks), but we are comforted on many sensory levels, and smell is one of them. Anything you can bring with you that speaks of home to your child will be a comfort to him/her in a place where there are lots and lots of unfamiliar things, including, I suppose, the baby bed unless you are planning to bring your pack n play with you also. May cut down on crankiness and fussiness in general if you have brought things that will be familiar to your baby. I know the pack n play is heavy, but it does fold up fairly easily (I have one, I’m a grandmother) and because it was first used at her house, my granddaughter could go right to sleep in it. Very familiar to her. Happy cruising! Marylu
