Cloth on holiday

Postby clairelou88 » Sun Feb 07, 2010 8:04 pm

Has anyone used cloth while on a cruise ? the thought of using dispicables for 12 nights is only an option if we really HAVE to. OH is happy for me to bring Alisters nappies, but what doyou ladies think? am i being mad taking cloth on hol on our honeymoon :giggle:

Never been on a cruise, but it may be worth calling them to see if they have some kind of laundry service perhaps?

Yes my only worry would be the laundry faciliities? I have been on a number of fruises but not in the last 5 years but the only laundry services were where you sent items off and they came back clean and ironed...not sure if they have washing facilities that you can use yourself now or not?

Maybe a bit of both, if you are not used to disposables then he might get nappy rash............we have always used disposables on holiday but have had some trouble with rash with them on a couple of occassions

I bet you'd spend more on sposies than you would on 3 or 4 loads of washing/drying :wink:. I brought our nappies on holiday this year (not on a cruise, just to MIL's :giggle:) and was so glad I did, I hate sposies! The only thing that can be called a hassle about cloth IMO is scraping off the poo, but it's definitely outweighed by the loveliness of the nappies :mrgreen:.

I expected to wash every 3 days so took enough pockets for 4 days (just in case) and 5 NNs (MIL doesn't have a dryer so I allowed 2 days for them to dry). I also took some extra inserts for the pockets, so I could reuse some of the outers while the inserts were drying.
