cb at sea Posted October 16, 2008 #2 Share Posted October 16, 2008 What ship/cruiseline will you be on? Not all allow swim diapers! True, they hold in the solids, but the water is still contaminated as it "filters through" the contents. Ick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks fo your help, Kim Does your ship have a Baby Splash zone where swim diapers are allowed? If so, just figure out how many times you will take your DD in the water.

helpmenew2crusing Posted October 16, 2008 Author #5 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Yes, Baby Splash Zone. I wasn't sure if 4 packs of 12 was over packing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebr.cruiser Posted October 16, 2008 #6 Share Posted October 16, 2008 To me, 4 packs (48 swim diapers!) sounds like serious overpacking, if you're going on a 7 day cruise. I'd think at most you'd use one or two a day, unless you plan on spending the whole day, every day, in the water. I'd probably bring one pack, but you need to do what makes you comfortable. Also, a 7-day cruise is really only about 6 actual days on the ship, outside of embarkation day and debarkation day, and some of those six days are on shore; even on beach days a couple of the swimmers should be enough. You're going to need plenty of room for the regular diapers, and all the other assorted necessities toddlers and babies need; I'd save space where I could.

helpmenew2crusing Posted October 16, 2008 Author #7 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Thanks for your help... it's an 8 day... so I was thinking 4 or 5 a day... so I'll rethink it. We plan to buy our diapers when we get down there the day before... no need to take them on the airplane... that second bag is killer $$$$$:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcfam5 Posted October 16, 2008 #8 Share Posted October 16, 2008 I would suggest taking 16, two per day should be plenty. Some days you may use more, some days you may only use one. Also, as far as packing ~ swim diapers are an easy thing to pack in small spaces of your luggage. (i.e., inside shoes, in the outer pockets, around the inside edges once all your clothes have been packed, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusinmama06 Posted October 16, 2008 #9 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Oh yeah that's wayyyy too many. Two packs should be more than enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashelleigh Posted October 16, 2008 #11 Share Posted October 16, 2008 We just returned from the Disney Magic. I found our 17month old to be bored in the Splash area after an hour(or less) each time we were there. He'd eventually try to escape. At 11 months and 17 months on cruises, I found one box of swim diapers each time to be more than plenty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunrise&set Posted October 16, 2008 #12 Share Posted October 16, 2008 I brought 2 packs for my 13 month old for our 7 night cruise. We had 4 ports and no splash zone onboard, although we did bring a blow up tub and used it on the balcony. I brought some home but I did use some from the 2nd pack.

At 11 months and 17 months on cruises, I found one box of swim diapers each time to be more than plenty. I was thinking the same thing... Was it hard keeping them to just the Baby Splash Zone... don't they try to head out to the H2O Zone? When she (13 months) sees her brother out there she's going to go bananas... Are those swim diapers babies bored? I'm going to feel bad for her Also has anyone participated in the RCCL Baby play groups? I wasn’t sure if I wanted to take part… being that toddlers pick up colds so easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disney's Mickey Pool was right next door. He'd go on the platform under the slide and head straight for the Mickey pool each time! A few older kids were playing in the Splash area....they'd "drink" the water and the little ones would mimic them. We had to redirect DS several times from doing this as well. We've participated in Disney's play groups and Carnivals (where we go play with our DS and their toys). We've been lucky both times with no colds or illnesses from these rooms. Our DS is in daycare, so it's a chance we take every day of the week while not on vacation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
