Railings on Orchestra

[misand]

Hello,

 

I just saw some pictures that made me a little worried. It showed the promenade deck and the railings looked to be spread apart quite a bit. On all of the other cruises I have been on there really isn't any way someone could fall through. Is there glass over these and I'm just not seeing it!

 

Help we are traveling with young children. Never was concerned with this before?

Most pool and upper deck railings had glass panels to break the wind and were quite safe. Some of the other decks (lifeboat deck and possibly rear decks accessible through emergency exits?) I recall only had bars that were quite far apart. It would be possible for a small child to climb through. Hang onto the little ones until you've thoroughly explored each deck.

misand,

Is there a link to the photos you saw? We are also sailing w/ young children so I would like to see them if they are online. Thanks in advance

It was a link from another review of the Orchestra, wonderful pics and video. Railings are a bit scary though. I don't see how these railing in this pictures are up to code in any country.

The side railings on deck 14 in the back of the ship near the mini golf are to be of concern for you. The horizontal rods are about 10 inches apart enough space for a child to fall thru easy. Just tell your children deck 14 is off limits.
