When we published our first issue of Fun Time Cruisers magazine we included an interview of Shoshana Fischer who took her baby with her on the Carnival Breeze in January. Recently we’ve seen several questions posted on Facebook about the pros and cons of taken young babies on a cruise.

Maribeth Kring is a well-known and very popular travel agent who specializes in booking cruises. We were thrilled when she agreed to an interview during our February 2014 cruise on the Carnival Sunshine.

At the time of the interview (March 4, 2014) she was living in Texas. She …
