Hi Ctbell!! Welcome to Clf!! I haven't sailed her but I am in October. If you go into our Gallery on the top of the page you will see ships, then Carnival, then Carnival Legend. If you click on the pictures it will enlarge and you can see how high the railings are on the balcony.I wouldn't allow a child out there alone, or have tables or chairs to climb on close to the rail!! They are secure, but caution is always a good thing!! Have a wonderful cruise and if we can help with other questions, just ask!!

Hi guys!
We are booked on her in Jan of 07 as a group! My Parents are going on their first cruise for their 50th aniv.! I am so excited for them! My father was in the Navy and my mother said the last time she was on a ship it was taking her to Japan in the Army.. I told her this would be ALOT diffrent...LOL

Welcome to CLF, Chuck!

And welcome to you, too, Ctbell!

We sail the Valor in October (with Sue!) and I can't say yet what her balconies are like.

BUT there are others on CLF who have sailed the Valor... I'm pretty sure one of them will be able to answer your question.

i wouldn't leave a child on the balcony alone. I would say they're fairly secure, but I don't trust them. JV

Thanks for riding to the rescue, JV!

I just knew you would know the answer to this one, and you did!

Hi CT.. Sue asked me to answer your question concerning balcony safety.. In the first link, if you look out the doorway in the balcony suite picture you will see that they use a solid plexiglass/lexan bacony wall which is about 40" high+-.. You won't fall through it, you'd have to jump up and over it.. That said, As a parent and grandparent, I would not advise leaving a child on a ships balcony alone, anymore than I'd leave one alone on a 6th story balcony of a building.. Happy sailing...
