Ep. 280 - Små Barn: A DCL Cruise to Norway with Little Kids

Ashley and her family made their first cruise on Disney Cruise Line a fabulous seven-night Norwegian Fjords sailing.  Ashley took her two young kids along, and came on to share her tips and tricks for sailing with little ones in Europe, and to also share how they approached port adventures in Norway.  Finding good ways to explore the port stops in Europe, which tend to be the stars of the experience, with little kids can be challenging. Many DCL port adventures have age restrictions and sometimes require kids to be at least 8 or 12 years old, even if the tour provider would allow younger children to go. Navigating finding and booking non-DCL port adventures can also be nerve wracking. Ashely shares how she approached this challenge, all the fun her family had, and her tips for a successful cruise in Europe with young children.  All that and more on this week's episode!
