Pregnancy & Cruising

In the last week I have spoken to two guys who were looking to book cruises for them and their partners and I’ve had to disappoint them.
The reason being both of their wives were pregnant. In fact one was looking to go on the cruise for their honeymoon but his new bride would be 8 months pregnant at the time they wanted to go.

Now going a cruise holiday can be ideal for pregnant ladies as they are very relaxing and you can even sail from the UK so don’t have the hassle of airports. However cruise lines do have restrictions and although each company may vary slightly the general rules are:
You must inform the cruise line you are pregnant have a letter from your doctor or midwife stating that mom and baby are both fit and healthy. (These can be sent to the cruise line in advance or handed at a check)
They will not accept ladies on board who are in their 24th week of pregnancy or reach 24 weeks during the cruise

I hope this blog helps as both are of these guys we’re going to book on our website http://www.cruise.co.uk/ and called up with some completely unrelated questions.

Had they gone ahead and booked they could well have found themselves out of pocket as well as disappointed!
