do you bring child locks for drawers and doors?

Not sure what locks you are thinking of, but the ones on my cabinets had to be screwed in, so that would be out. I cannot think of a ship on Carnival or Princess where the drawers have handles on them - so the exterior locks wouldn't work.

 

My son was 2 when he started cruising and there was nothing he could hurt in the drawers or cabinets and I don't even think I had to tell him no...just wasn't interested. Too tired after camp!

You will never be more than 3 steps away from anyone in a regular cabin....no worries! "No" is a word even 2 year olds know (or should!) The door is heavy...so I don't think a 2 year old could escape on their own!

It depends on what will be in the drawers, but it's likely to be unnecessary. Those locks are mostly for kitchen devices (sharp) or chemicals/drugs. Knives and drain cleaner aren't likely to be on a ship, and any drugs can be stuck on a high shelf in the closet. Some ships have the hairdryer in the top desk drawer, but that isn't immediately dangerous, and it's pretty obvious if s/he manages to turn it on. You could also lock items in a suitcase with a simple suitcase lock to keep them secure from a 2YO.

 

Most balcony doors have a lock up high, and as CB says all the cabin doors are typically to heavy for a 2YO to move. There is probably more danger in the child thinking they can hold it open like a regular door and getting squashed/trapped/slammed into the door frame.
