AEckhardt Posted February 12, 2015 #3 Share Posted February 12, 2015 It's basically the size of one of those plastic kiddie pools you can buy at Walmart, with maybe a foot of water in it. It won't be very exciting for any kids over 3 and babies can't use it, as they cannot wear swim diapers in the pool. So... It's pretty unappealing.

daisyae21 Posted February 12, 2015 #5 Share Posted February 12, 2015 As a parent with a 18 month old. What do you with them? If they are not allowed in any pools due to no swim diapers? I just found this out the other day. I am super disappointed and also curious why swim diapers are not allowed in the pool... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AEckhardt Posted February 12, 2015 #6 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I haven't cruised with kids that young but I've read suggestions of bringing a small inflatable pool to play in on deck. Not sure how this would be tolerated on a busy deck, though. Check out the Family Cruising forum under special interest cruising. There should be many people in your same circumstance.

If an accident happens, the pool needs to be drained. The filtration system is different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look for "blow up tubs" rather than pools. The helmet from the beer helmet has been used as a splash toy for little ones as well. It is not that the "filtration" system on ship's pools is different, it is that the ship's pools have to meet USPH requirements, while land pools only meet the local health code.

cb at sea Posted February 12, 2015 #10 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Just because a swim diaper holds in solids, the pool water can still flow through it...and it contaminates the pool...that's why they don't allow ANYONE in diapers of any kind in the pools!!
