Upper bunk pictures with guard rails

[zandramarie]

Sailing on the Pride and have a 3 yr old that will be sleeping on the top bunk. Do you know if Carnival provides guard rails or do I need to bring my own?

Thank You, Z (Thanks, Fred)

If you are at all worried, I would bring my own. Sorry I don't have a picture for you, but I remember my son's first cruise, he was 6. I woke up in the middle of the night and he had one leg completely hanging off the bunk. Guess who slept in the bunk the rest of the cruise. No, not me, hubby did! I remember the railing being about 3 feet long, and I think I remember it being at one end of the bunk, not in the middle, and not movable.

There are guard rails but they are fairly open, my 3 yr old did not like being up in the bunk at all. If there is a couch in the room that is a much better sleeping option for little ones.

This sort of shows the opening I as talking about. The rail runs most of the way down the side of the bunk.

I would be afraid the 3 yr. old would fall out. The rails already there aren't very long. The mattress sinks into the bunk bed frame, so I think it would be tricky to bring your own rails for that kind of bed. Rails usuallly lock at a 90 degree angle, and they would to bend because the edge of the bunk and mattress aren't at the same level (like a regular bed mattress with a box spring).

 

We kept our 3 yr. old in bed with us. We used a railing on one side. She slept on that side, with me in the middle, and hubby on the other outside.

 

You could always put the bunk mattress on the floor at night, too.

Here is a picture I found several months ago of a cabin on the Legend:
