Three lines say yes
Royal Caribbean lets you bring your own stroller and use it around the ship. MSC's Conditions of Carriage say prams are always allowed. Disney allows strollers too and suggests bringing your own, because it has only a few loaners.
Carnival, Norwegian, Princess, Celebrity, Holland America and Virgin don't mention strollers. Ask the line before you pack one.
Where to keep it
Cabins are small, so plan on a stroller that folds. Royal Caribbean and Disney both say to keep it in your cabin when you're not using it. Disney adds that you can't park it in hallways or on stair landings.
Wagons are a different rule
Disney allows collapsible wagons but bans other wagons. Carnival allows wagons only as an approved medical accommodation, and they can't be used on board. If you'd rather bring a wagon than a stroller, check your line first.
