Balcony cabin at Carnival Pride - is it safe for active kids?

[sdel65]

Hi everyone,

I'm planning to take a cruise with my kids on Carnival Pride.

 

It is my first time when I have the Balcony cabin ( Panorama deck).

 

Could you please describe me the balcony and how safe is it , considering that I have active kids.

 

I'm intending to lock it, but does it have a safety high rised window/glass outside?

 

Is anything there to prevent from falling out of the balcony?

 

I appreciate your comments and i have to admit I'm very worried now because of my active kids.

 

Please help.

 

Thank you

Sofia

You would really have to "work' to "fall" overboard....it's drunken adults that go over---never has a child fallen off a ship.

 

It's up to you to take care of your children...they haven't ever fallen out of a building or off a deck, have they??? Then, there's no reason to think they'll fall off the ship.

Lay down the law, and tell them the rules of behavior on a cruise...that's YOUR job!

In addition to the good advice above....

 

Pride has glass a balcony with a teak rail above which is about 48' above

the deck. There is no way to squeeze between the glass partitions.

The door has a top lock which may be out of reach without a chair for

most small kids. a rule to never stand on any chair when aboard the ship.

Hey, thank you all.

Of course there are rules in place for the kids.

 

I'm just a very concerned parent...

 

I feel better now.:)

 

thank you again!

Even as an adult I have a hard time opening the balcony door. (its really sucked closed) make sure the cabin door is closed before you open the balcony door--- or everyhting gets sucked to the other side of the room.

 

We took our 18 month old GD on her first cruise-- she understood that when she was out there it was only for sitting. she did good. No climbing etc.
