RCL Oasis 8/27 with a toddler

[coffeeluv]

DH, DD (age 2 1/2) and I were on Oasis at the end of August. I posted a review on the RCL board, but some of it may be of interest to families cruising with toddlers. I'm happy to answer questions as well.

DD did great sleeping - better than she does at home. She slept on the folded-out sofa bed, with inflatable rails we brought to keep her from falling off. She never got sea sick at all, but Oasis is so stable and the seas were so calm that we could barely feel the movement.

We did make sure when we booked our room that it had a fold-out sofa bed, so if you're thinking of doing that you might want to check to be sure your room has one. The room also had a fold-down bunk, but we didn't want DD sleeping so high off the floor. The pack-n-play cribs are too small for our tall daughter, but are also an option. Enjoy your cruise!

The bed rails were from One Step Ahead, and the link is:

They go under the sheet. Because the cruise lines use flat sheets rather than fitted sheets, we put them under the sheet then wrapped the sheet around it and underneath a bit so that it wouldn't move. She knocked her pillows off the bed, but not the bumpers.
