To my knowledge, no cruise line will permit children that are not potty trained in the pool or jacuzzi (for obvious reasons).

That's what I figured. I know this is the case on most cruise lines. Not that it will be nice enough for swimming anyway. Just want to prepare the cousins in advance that we will not be joining them in the water! Thanks!

@ Phillygirl3 - Not our choice. This trip is for his Grandmother's birthday, and it was her choice. I'm excited to see Alaska, but terrified of having other passengers upset that I have a 16 month old on board. Hopefully, he will be his adorable, funny self, and everyone will be happy to see him! Fingers crossed!

Anyone know if the pool is open to kiddos this young? His cousins are hoping he will be allowed to swim with them. Doubtful, but I can't find information anywhere on the topic.

Oh goodness. My family will be on the July Anchorage to Vancouver cruise. 5 kids - aged 16 months to 15 years. As the mother of the 16 month old, I am already a nervous wreck that other passengers won't be understanding about the occasional "melt-down." This thread makes me even more nervous! We tried talking the grandparents out of Regent, but this was the cruise they wanted. FYI - if you witness a very frazzled mom trying to keep her toddler "well behaved," please be kind. I'm really not looking forward to being stuck in my cabin the whole time if he doesn't adjust to the time-change well.
