Woodmnky Posted June 21, 2011 #1 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I know that this question has been asked a thousand times, but I cannot find the answer that I was looking for. I know that some RCI ships and Disney ships have nurseries for little ones, but is there a full list of ships that offer care for babies (ours will be 11 months). Thanks for the help.

crusinmama06 Posted June 21, 2011 #2 Share Posted June 21, 2011 RCI Ships with nursery (for a fee) are Oasis, Allure, Liberty, Freedom, Splendour and Radiance :D http://www.royalcaribbean.com/conten...advantage_main The ones with Baby Splash Zones -- RCI Independence, Freedom, Liberty, Oasis and Allure. The Disney Ships are Magic, Wonder, Dream and Fantasy with both nursery (paid service) and water play area. Carnival will watch the Under 2's for a fee but no pools for those in diapers. Cunard has a nanny/play program, but no pools for the baby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beachchick Posted June 27, 2011 #6 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Yes...those 4 RCI ships she mentioned do allow swim diapers. So should those particular Disney ships. Yes, those ships do allow swim diapers, but only in one designated, specially filtered shallow pool. On RCI, the baby splash area is separate from the regular water play zones and other pools. It is the only place where non-trained swim-diapered youngsters are allowed. As an FYI, only non-trained swim-diapered are allowed in the baby splash zones, so parents with both younger and older children need to keep in mind that the two areas are near each other, but separate. On Disney, I know it's similar in that the "baby pool" is separate and the only area for non-trained children. beachchick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aussiecruiser275 Posted April 24, 2012 #8 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I know the Rhapsody of the Seas has the nursery for tots as part of the recent refurb (i am led to beleive), however does anyone know if the Voyager of the Seas has or will be getting fitted with this feature within the next 18 months or so. It is just that we are looking for a sailing out of Australia (that has ice skating for my wife) and able to have our new born daugher (4 months now) looked after if need to for an few hours. Thanks for all your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traveller20074 Posted April 26, 2012 #11 Share Posted April 26, 2012 So, no Norwegian ships allow swim diapers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatrcruzer Posted April 26, 2012 #12 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I do not believe that any other cruise line has the special filtration system for pools that allow diapered children, including NCL, so even swim diapers are not allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is correct. Now with that being said, one of my biggest gripes on Gem was that the crew members were redirecting the babies in diapers back to the whale pool with the small slide. And NCL clearly has it marked no diapers. But it was an issue with crew training and not following policy. A little boy who was potty trained and was using the children's pool on Gem ended up getting a raging ear infection half way through the cruise. I talked to his parents in Bermuda at the pharmacy - they were getting antibiotics. Could it be from bacteria in the pool that entered his ear canal? Who knows? I am no doctor. But it wasn't healthy to have so many diapered babies in that small pool swimming around in their own feces with kids who were potty trained. I stopped my youngest from going into that pool by the end of the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
