First-timer : Rail "security"?

[MorganL]

Newbie question... do the rails in the rooms with the verandahs and elsewhere have some sort of plexiglass to prevent the curious child from throwing themselves into the ocean?

First trip coming up January 22nd! Woot woot!

Yes they do.

Take away anything they can stand on.

All the railings onboard have some sort of wall below them (floor to rail height). Most are plexiglass, some are solid.

You can see them on the rail in this photo (taken on deck 4)

PERFECT. Thanks so much!

I thought I saw some areas on deck 4 where the white life boats are deployed that have narrow spaces for a young child to squeeze through. They would have to be trying hard though.

We have have 2 connecting verandahs booked and my 4yo will not be allowed out there at all. She could scale the plexiglass or whitewall in a split second. I've got to admit I'm pretty nervous. But I MUST have fresh air and be able to see outside.

Plus I am going to ask the stateroom host to remove the furniture.

Just an FYI there is a lock on the door to the verandah and it's pretty hard to open, if that eases anyone's mind.

I am fairly tall for a woman and those railings come up to my chest. Every verandah has that plexiglas over the railing. And the locks Mickey4me refers to actually include TWO locks. One is up high, like eye level almost for most gals anyway. And the lower lock is the actual handle that has to be turned a certain way then pulled to open. And those doors take a little effort to open even by an adult.

I absolutely agree that you need to be watchful about the chairs and little table on the verandahs because as said small kids can and will climb them.

It always amazes me that given the lack of parental supervision these days, no child has actually climbed over the rails and fallen into the water.

That's all re-assuring! Thank you! We watch her like a hawk but you truly NEVER know. Happy cruising!
