Why are there no swim diapers on cruises?

A: Yes. The U.S. Public Health Service requires that only children who are toilet trained are permitted to enter swimming pools and spas aboard cruise ships. Even if your child isn't toilet trained, he or she is welcome to enjoy the water play areas on board each ship while wearing a swim diaper.

When do The Swimming Pools Close? On most cruise lines, the swimming pools are open from early morning until the evening. On some cruise lines, you'll find the pools and hot tubs open late into the evening which I particularly enjoy. There's not a lot better than an evening swim beneath the stars!

Diving and jumping is not permitted; you are welcome to swim laps, but each lap will be short, and the pools will likely be crowded at peak hours. A handful of cruise ships also have a secondary pool area at the back of the ship, overlooking the wake, and some have a swim-against-the-current pool for laps.
