My granddaughter (who will be 15 months) will be cruising with us in February. Are we seriously relegated to doing bubble tours because vaccines are not available for children that young? Her parents, grandparents and aunt and uncle are all vaccinated. The Shore Excursions are not very well labeled as to which ones are available in the three ports.
