Yet another Nursery Question-child over 3

[NWOhioAngela]

We have a child traveling with us who has a developmental delay. He doesn't require special care, but he is not yet fully potty trained so we know Oceaneers is not an option. He is over 3 but not yet 4. Is paid nursery time an option, or do we just have to pray for a potty-training miracle before sail away.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

3 year olds can go in the nursery, it's the changeover age. We were excited for our 3 year old son to go to the kids club on our last cruise, but it was too overwhelming for him to stay more than about 10-15 minutes at a time. So for the times we had Palo and a massage booked we put him in the nursery. Once they turn 4 they can't go to the nursery any longer.

Enjoy your cruise and don't worry about forcing potty-training early.

Conversely, if you think he might enjoy some time in the Oceaneers, you can still drop him off unpotty trained, but they require you to come back and check on him periodically. Depending on your comfort you can certainly do as @michellekcm suggested. Then you can still go to oceaneers club during any open house times. We did the open houses and had a blast enjoying the space with our own tot.

On the Magic in April they made it very clear that he couldn't come if he had on a pull-up. They asked us specifically if he was potty trained and told us that he couldn't be in a pull-up. They even reminded us on a different drop off.

He was still in the beginning stages of potty training but we only left him for an hour each time and didn't have any accidents.
