Anyone been in the Norwegian Epic cruise ship recently?/ Cruising with toddler and baby tips

[Hungrycaterpillarsmummy]

I am looking for information re. Children (3yrs and another who is 9m) I have been told the splash academy is closed to under 5's for the foreseeable but I would like to know if the soft play is still open?

Also I am looking for tips cruisinf with baby and toddler as I have never been on a cruise before. I know my baby cannot use the kids pool so I will take an Inflatable pool but does anyone have any other tips?

HI
I've not been on Norwegian Cruises, but have used other cruise lines. There is a useful forum that may help - here's the URL -

Thank you, I have signed up to that now.

We've done the Norwegian Fjords on Royal Caribbean. It was absolutely fantastic. Went with our three young adult kids.
I will never forget waking up in the morning bruising down a fjord feeling as if you could almost touch the sides.
The cruise stopped every day in different fjords and we booked our own activities such as a RIB. Ride through waterfalls, the oil museum and lots of others.
Really enjoyed it and in the evenings and the days at sea we also did an escape room and played mini golf and saw a show etc.

That sounds fantastic!
I have really liked the thought of doing the fjords and also one up to Iceland.

This cruise is a 5 day one around Italy France and Spain and my in-laws are taking us for free so it was up to them what to book. I have a feeling in going to love cruising though. :)
