Wall fold down beds question

[cookie54]

We are sailing on the Rhapsody of the Seas. I am wondering how far from the floor are the beds that fold down from the wall.

 

Do they have bars to keep a child in?

[RoofingPrincess]

They're quite high. if I recall correctly, at least eye level for me, and I'm 5'7"

There is a small bar at one side.

I'm five seven too & the bed was more like chest high on me, not eye level but that was on Princess & NCL. Maybe RCL is different.

You should ask your question on the RCI board.

They are at least as high as an upper bunk bed, sometimes a bit higher. They do have a rail and ladder for safety. If you have a smaller child, ask the room stewart for extra pillows to tuck along the railing to be sure. Also, keep in mind that most of the time (depending on what type of cabin you have) the bunk will be over your bed (if the beds are set up like a queen bed) which gives some added protection.

 

If you are super concerned, contact the cruise line and see if a roll-a-way bed is available for you on your particular cruise.

Can't speak for your ship but on many if you use an upper above another bed it can't be made into a queen because of the ladder for the upper. Check carefully as you may find the lower setup has to be two twins and not pushed together for a single queen

We usually roll up a large blanket and make an additional barrier. We've gotten awake in the middle of the night with our DD's legs through the rails hanging off the bed.

On our RCI cruises, we've been able to have the queen bed set up. The ladder was placed at the foot of the bunk instead of at the side. That's also how it was done on our Carnival and NCL cruises as well. Hadn't used the bunk on Princess yet.

 

If your room is not set up that way, just request it.

On NCL we used the open bunk to store luggage on. We also had the 2 singles pushed together for a queen-sized bed.

I'm 6'0, and the bed is pretty high up off the floor. The guard rail is needed as a safety precaution.

Nope. The ladder is just moved. We have had this configuration many times. It doesn't affect the lower bed.

 

OP, there is a rail.
