Bed rail for toddlers?

[jgooden1]

Ok, I have been reading these boards for years and never posted. I am finally breaking down because traveling with kids is a whole other ball game! We actually cruised with our son when he was 18 months old and it was fine because he fit in a crib, but now that he is almost 3 and much taller we are having some issues. According to my TA, NCL refused to provide a crib for my son because they deemed him too old. (That in itself is interesting...) The fact is, he may be too long for one of those tiny pack-n-plays anyway. We have an A3 suite on the Jade and we plan on using the extra bed in the small bedroom. So my question is, does anyone know if NCL provides bed rails or do we need to bring our own? I could ask my TA or NCL but they both can be a pain so I thought I would ask here 1st.

The answer is yes:

If you plan to use the lower sofa bed for him then you could use the bed rails from the bunk in the small bedroom.

Thanks! I did not realize that there were bunk beds. I'll do as you suggested!

Oops! It's been so long since I posted that I completely forgot I had. So this was not my first posting. Did not mean to tell a fib!

I always brought my own, They are so small and fit easily in the suitcase or bottom of the stroller basket. I am not sure the ones on the bunk bed slide under the mattress as you need.

If you roll a blanket length wise and place it under the side of the mattress it will keep him in because you don't roll "uphill" when you sleep.:) It worked great for my girls when they were little. The bed in the small bedrom is also not as high as a regular bed.

Thank you all for your replies. Now I have some ideas as to what to do. This was a big help!
