2plus4 Posted May 27, 2013 #1 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Hi does anyone know if there is a section of any of he pool areas that babies are allowed in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tapi Posted May 27, 2013 #2 Share Posted May 27, 2013 None. You need to sail on Disney or Royal to have pools specific for babies and toddlers in diapers (they'll have pools that are chemically and temperature treated and that have a separate filtration system). Unfortunately, Carnival doesn't have any of that and babies in diapers are prohibited from all pools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2plus4 Posted May 28, 2013 Author #3 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Thanks for the information. Considering they've just had a $140 million refit you'd expect them as a family friendly company to provide family friendly facilities. Thanks again!

EZ4 Posted May 28, 2013 #4 Share Posted May 28, 2013 The regular pool isn't even open, yet. Sent using Tapatalk 4 Beta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2plus4 Posted May 29, 2013 Author #5 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Do you think that it will be open by August? Heard rumours that it won't! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sargent_Schultz Posted May 29, 2013 #7 Share Posted May 29, 2013 There is an entire waterworks section with slides, squirt things, etc., but not a pool, per se. How old is the baby? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PresDuLac Posted May 29, 2013 #8 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Do you think that it will be open by August? Heard rumours that it won't! Apparently it is to be opened today I saw a picture of the OPEN pool on Sunshine on the face place today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazygal Posted May 29, 2013 #9 Share Posted May 29, 2013 I've seen people bring inflatable pools for their baby; they fill it up and have it in a more private play area on deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2plus4 Posted May 29, 2013 Author #10 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Hi she will be 18 months old so still in nappies. I've heard that about bringing inflatable pools but where would you pour the water away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

okgirl Posted May 29, 2013 #12 Share Posted May 29, 2013 I've seen people being told they can't inflate a small pool on any of the public decks. There isn't that much space and the only way to empty them is into a floor drain and then the same issue exists with potentially contaminated pool water being spilled around the drain. I think some people with balcony cabins put them out there, but they still have to bring them into the bathroom to empty (pretty messy) because the water can't be dumped overboard.

ib4cruzn Posted May 29, 2013 #13 Share Posted May 29, 2013 because the water can't be dumped overboard. "Can't" or "shouldn't"? Remember this is Carnival where you can't wear tank tops on Elegant nite and you can't save chairs...etc., etc., etc... Never underestimate the resolve of a Carnival passenger.

Well.....I get your point, but the "rule" is Can't......and it's likely that since it can have heavy penalties for the cruise line getting caught letting it happen, they might actually enforce this particular rule.

Unfortunately, Carnival doesn't have any of that and babies in diapers are prohibited from all pools. Well I used to think this was the case but our recent Breeze cruise proved otherwise. There were several infants/toddlers in the main pool each sea day. Not one word to the parents who were holding them in the water. Actually the worst cruise pool experience we've ever had with lack of supervision and rambunctious kids diving and cannon balling into the crowded pools.
