Jennilee17 Posted March 17, 2017 #1 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I have two young kids that use a step stool to get on and off the toilet and to wash hands etc.. Does anyone know if Royal Caribbean offers step stools in the rooms?:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruisin Twin Mom Posted March 17, 2017 #3 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I don't know if various cruise lines offer step stools or not. I would rather be prepped in case they don't than hope they do. We are going to pack a foldable step stool for our kids to use on our upcoming HAL Alaskan cruise. This is the one we are looking at getting or something similar: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GJ0XTO8/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=UUTCVDHVBZIU&coliid=I12FO5A8ZA8JNN It should be easy to throw in the bottom of a suitcase along with our foldable potty seat. I assume we will need the stool for the hotel rooms before and after our cruise too. My thought is better safe than sorry on anything involving the toilet.

cb at sea Posted March 18, 2017 #5 Share Posted March 18, 2017 It might be easier to bring a lightweight plastic one...pack it upside down in your luggage...and put clothes on top. Weighs nothing..and it will do the job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alow Posted March 18, 2017 #6 Share Posted March 18, 2017 My parents got us a folding plastic step stool that folds pretty compact and would go unnoticed in a bag. It holds my weight when I sit with my oldest at potty time and I'm 215 or so. Might be your best bet. Looks just like the Amazon link above.

Chickpea19 Posted March 19, 2017 #7 Share Posted March 19, 2017 We have a foldable one as well. It's actually a great step stool for any type of travel - it's easy to throw in the car on a road trip, too. The fold is extremely compact. At home, I use it in my bedroom closet, since I can leave it folded when not in use to save space. Am planning to take this along with our oxo foldable potty seat (another great travel tool!). I'd say, bring what you need so you're certain to have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-cruise Posted March 21, 2017 #8 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Our kids are finally past the age of needing a step stool. We've taken them on a dozen + cruises and never thought to bring one, but this thread is making me wonder how we survived without one, lol. Trying to remember, but I guess we just lifted them up to reach the sink on all those trips. Cruise ship bathrooms are usually so small that I wonder if having a step stool in the way would be more trouble than it's worth. I guess if it was folded up between uses...

Lerin Posted April 13, 2017 #9 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Never brought one because the bathroom doors are too heavy and difficult for our kids to open. If they are in the bathroom, that means we are there too, so we just lift them onto the commode. Don't know the age of your kiddos, but that is something to consider. Cruise ship door knobs are unlike any on land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume we will need the stool for the hotel rooms before and after our cruise too. My thought is better safe than sorry on anything involving the toilet. This is the exact one I recently purchased for our last month (March) Harmony cruise. It worked great and he did need it for the toilet and the sink...light and easily folded flat into our toddler (3 year old) grandsons luggage...and easily folded flat and sat it next to the toilet in the cabin's bathroom...completely out of the way until needed.... I now keep it at my house. It's a great stool !!! We also brought along his potty ring that just sits on top of the regular toilet...it fit great on the cabins toilet...we even took it in his backpack when we left the ship to go into port...he was much more comfortable having his own rather than trying to hold him up on a strange public toilet. Then we would clean it in the shower upon return to the ship. Edited April 13, 2017 by Ashland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginnylou Posted April 29, 2017 #12 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Home from the Ruby Princess and son had a great time on his very first cruise. Took step stool, but never needed to use it as he was tall enough to use the sink (just). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadien Posted May 2, 2017 #13 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Just to keep the information all in one handy place, we asked for a stepstool on our NCL cruise because of our 3-year old and they brought one like it was a common request. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
