Royal Caribbean Quantum of The Seas Cruise from Singapore to Nowhere (4 nights, Sept 2021).
(Grand Suite Large Balcony with Unlimited Dining Package)

If after watching you're wondering why half the video is just food, it's really because:
- We couldn't take videos of most of the shows.
- The toddler rejected all our attempts at leaving him at the nursery until Day 4, so we couldn't do much of the adults-only activities that we hoped (casino, bumper cars, flowrider, rock climbing).
- We really did spend most of our time just eating and sleeping.

Some thoughts on cruising with a toddler:
- Don't worry about the balconies, the glass railing is really high enough that there's little risk of your tot climbing over.
- If he/she is not potty trained, he/she is only allowed in two small pools (the ones you see in the video), and nowhere else.
- Go to the nursery on Day 1 to register your tot & book time slots. Try and drop him/her off on Day 2 itself cos if you get called back, at least you still have Day 3 and 4.
- If you have a hyperactive tot, drop him/her off at Nursery as much as possible cos you will need the rest time.
- You can get unlimited UHT milk boxes from Windjammer.
- Most of the staff love young kids, making it easy to forget that not all the guests do too.
- Bring lots and lots of snacks if you intend to sit through entire shows. Our tot's attention span was about 15minutes otherwise.
- Booking a Grand Suite is pricey but was worth the investment for us if for nothing else than being able to isolate the tot in darkness during naps and bedtime from the living room/balcony.
