Thank you for that.

I completely understand the policy behind it. It makes sense. I stated that I understood it for swimming pools.

I completely understand the health and sanitary concerns of sharing a body of water with a dirty diaper, sweaty bodies, etc. I do not swim in public pools and do not intend on swimming on the cruise either.

What I meant by "ridiculous" was that Carnival, a company that advertises as a family-friendly cruise line, have not invested in a separate, more advanced filtration system dedicated to a play area for the little ones with swim diapers.

I am aware that the Sensation is an older ship, but my point remains true. If you are going to advertise as a family-friendly cruise line, spend the money to make it truly family-friendly.

However, as Homosassa pointed out, one gets what one pays for (although cruising with Carnival may be less expensive compared to other cruise lines, it is NOT cheap).

Again, thank you all for your responses.

Hello again.

Thank you all for your prompt responses. I truly appreciate it.

Hello all.

I am taking my wife and kids (3yr old and 1yr old) on their first cruise next week. We will be on the Carnival Sensation.

I just found out that non-potty trained kids are not allowed to use any of the water-areas. This ruins our plan as my boys love the splash areas. My 3yr old is potty trained, but my 1yr old is not.

While I understand the policy on the swimming pools, it’s ridiculous that it also applies to the kid-only areas. It would be cruel to deprive one of fun in front of the other because Carnival decided to save a little bit of money by NOT having a dedicated filtration system for the kids.

I read that people bring an inflatable pool to remedy the situation.

Does anyone know if this is allowed on carnival cruises? If so, is there a particular type of inflatable pool that is recommended? Where do I dump the water after he’s finished playing?

Thank you.
