Cruise at 7 months

So, my mom just gave me a gift of a cruise for September. I'll be entering my 7th month. My grandparents my mom and step-dad will be traveling with me. Buy, my hubby is unable to get off work, he's saving up his vacation for when the baby comes.  
Do you guys think it's safe? My mom worked ob for years before she retired.  
The cruise company has a policy where I will have to lie about my due date, but my parents said that they never ask how far along you are.  I have told my hubby so he can decide.

Just my opinion, strictly my opinion and I don't mean anything negative, but I would not go if I had to falsify any documents of how far along I was. They have to have a policy for a reason... the passengers safety as well as the unborn baby.

Remember a cruise really don't have much medical assistance or doctors on bord. They usually have basic first aid. If something were to happen, more likely you would have to be airlifted off of the boat to the nearest hospital (whether that was in the U.S. or not). If you aire having a berry healthy pregnancy and your doctor gives you an all clear, then it may be ok. Otherwise I would try to rebook or something.

We had to move our cruise up for this reason.  I also got really sick for the first 2 days until I got used to being at sea.  they have those policies  because if you were to go into labor, your baby would have much better chances at a hospital than on a ship without a NICU.   I did get asked how far along I was by several crew members but they may have just been being friendly.  Best of luck!

Cruise policy is they will not let ur cruise after I believe it's 26 weeks. So o would look into that.  Cuz they don't have the medical needs on board if u go into labor.
I been on a few with carnival. And that is a policy.

Talk to ur ob or doc. It depends on ur pregnancy and how healty U are.
Many of my friends have traveld even me when I was 7 months. But they get approval from their doc that they are in good health for the travel with no complication. So talk with ur doc.

Well how long is this cruise exactly. If it's long I don't think it's safe to go just in case good forbid any complications come along or so. You're gonna be 7 months your right around the corner to be giving birth. I think you should think twice on going on this cruise.
