Re: HELP! Traveling with child that isn't potty trained!

I can't offer any advice other than what was said above, however, what John said sounds like a great plan! Making the cruise an opportunity for a big reward would be very cool!

If your child isn't 'trained' by the time of the cruise, don't make a big deal of it. Instead, try to make the activities involve other things besides the pool for all kids....that way one won't feel slighted. It may take some creativity, but rest assured, you aren't the first parent to encounter such a task while on a cruise. The great thing about the kids programs on all cruises is that they realize this situation may occur and/or some kids don't like the pool so they have to have alternate plans. I would make sure to make friends with all of the counselors in your kids' programs and talk to them about your expectations and your kids' limitations. They will be very accomodating, I'm sure.

Whatever the case, have a great time and let us know what the outcome was!
