Will my kids fall off the Disney Cruise Line ship?

Question

Kids are 3 and 10 months. Hubby really wants to book it, but I'm worried they will fall overboard!

Answer 1

Um... common sense... no, your children will not fall overboard unless you're an irresponsible parent and drop them overbaord. Although, I have a hard time believing you're a responsible parent due to the senseless question you've asked. Do you watch the news ever? Do you hear of little kids crawling off the edge of a cuise ship? Never. There is always glass or some sort of barrier around the edge of the ship. The only people that go overboard are the drunk adults, not paying attention.

Listen to your hubby. The kids will love it!

* tbugs - lol I think the only fact we can all bet on is that you have no common sense. First of all, a child has never fallen overboard on a cruise ship due to negligence of the parents of staff. And to answer your thoughtless question, "how can you have 2 children that are only 7 months apart in age?" Well, there is this thing called adoption. It's great thing to do. So, that's how it would be possible to have a child who's ten months old and another child who's only three months old. But she said her kids are three and ten months old, meaning one child is three YEARS old and the youngest is only ten months old.

Answer 2

You can bet on it.  At 3 months and 10 months, kids go wandering all over the ship by themselves all the time.

Also, how can you have 2 children that are only 7 months apart in age.

Sounds kind of bogus.

Answer 3

Be a responsible parent and watch your children.

They won't fall overboard.

Besides, most ships have glass plates around the side which're too big for children to climb over.

Answer 4

I have been on 5 Disney cruises and I cannot see any way that a child could fall overboard.  There is nothing to worry about.

Answer 5

They are more concerned about that than other cruise lines are.  They are extremely careful when you leave the kids in their care.  If it was ever to happen, it would be due to extreme negligence on the behalf of the parents.  It has never happened on any cruise line.

Answer 6

At their age, there is no risk of falling overboard. They would quite literally have to scale railings which slope inward to prevent such a thing, without anyone at all noticing them.

Of course, watch your children; afterall you are the parent and are responsible for them. However, keep in mind that all Disney ships are/will be (for the future ones) designed with young children in mind. That includes safety.

Go, have fun!
