Peggy5 Posted September 18, 2008 #1 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Hi all, its our 1st time cruising could use some advice we're on 7 nt Mariner Eastern carribean later this yr. I read here on this board that toddlers who are not potty trained are not allowed in mariner's pools but RCL special needs staff said she can go on deck 10 adventure ocean pool :confused: I'm not sure which one is correct? Also any helpful tips for 1st timers(who are cruising with a 2 yr old)? We have an inside cabin, I'm sure balcony would be better to sit there while our daughter slept but an inside cabin was a necessary cost factor when we decided to switch from monarch 4 days to the mariner for 7 days.

Peggy5 Posted September 18, 2008 Author #2 Share Posted September 18, 2008 And oh 1 more thing, how about excursions to st thomas/st marteen(with a 2 year old), any advice on that? Thanks so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusinmama06 Posted September 18, 2008 #3 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Oh the joys of RCCL reps. Mariner doesn't have a "Deck 10 Adventure Ocean pool"...lol Adventure, Navigator, Explorer - yes, they all have an Adventure Beach. Mariner is the only one in its class that doesn't. And Adventure Beach - last time I checked is for "Potty trained" children only. We kind of keep a list of those kinds of things around here. So far, on RCCL, the only ships that have an Infant/Toddler area for Non-Potty trained kids is Enchantment, Freedom, Independence, Liberty and coming up next - Oasis and Allure. Now, with that being said, I could be WRONG. :eek: I know, shocking isn't it. :p They do add things to the ships without telling us...lol. Like the time they added one to Enchantment and denied it existed until I produced photos of the area and they had to admit it was there...lol. So check with those on Mariner now or recently off of it. Go onto the most recent RCCL roll call here at CC. Ask them to look out for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All4fun1 Posted September 19, 2008 #4 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Hi, I can't answer your pool question, but we will be on the Mariner this december and I also have been researching what to do at ports of call with our 5 yr old. I got some great advice on this thread that I started about St Martin/St. Thomas. Just thought you might find it helpful too! hth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michelle, just an FYI, Navigator doesn't have Adventure Beach either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beachchick Posted September 19, 2008 #7 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Geesh, more bad news. :( lol Was it Voyager that does? I knew I missed one. You're correct. Voyager is the third V-class ship with the Adventure Beach. Mariner and Navigator, the second generation V-class, don't have it. There are no water or pool areas on Mariner for non-potty trained children. (Actually, that applies to any with continence issues, not just youngsters.) beachchick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
