First time using a sofa-bed

I have cruised many times as part of a two-some, therefore never needing the sofa bed.

On my upcoming cruise on the Anthem, however, we are THREE adults in a balcony cabin, deck 11.

My question ..... will the steward set up the sofa bed each evening and put it away in the morning or is that our responsibility?

Hope this is not too silly a question... but I like to know what to expect. Thank you!

they will do it for you.

The stateroom attendant will set up the bed each evening and put it away in the morning.

We would sometimes fold the bed up in the morning if the cabin layout made getting around too hard with it out.

Thank you all for your help!! Much appreciated!

Yes indeed....everything needs to be stowed, or you won't be able to walk about the cabin!

We've had 3 sofabeds and 2 different cabin attendants (got the same one in Mar 2016 as we did Jan 2014), and my son's sofabed has NEVER been put away.

Now...we didn't ask even though it bugged us, but still, it's by no means a given that it'll be put away.

And while two of those rooms didn't involve the need for much space (Freedom 1700, Vision side-pano room 7584, and Freedom 1864), but it did reduce the nice sitting spaces during the day.

Takes about 10 seconds to convert. Not including the bedding.

Toss the bedding in the bottom

We've been on 11-12 cruises with our daughter, and it's ALWAYS been put away in the morning without asking.

Can you not have it put away and leave open?

Sure, just tell your stateroom attendant what you prefer.

Our son is 22 now, we've cruised many times over the years with him in a sofa bed. It's always been put away automatically apart from once when the cabin steward asked us if that was what we wanted. If I ever had a steward that didn't do it, I would mention it to them.

Are they comfortable? Any of the one's I've ever been on have be crappy at best!!!

My 14 year old has trouble sleeping on them. Not great. We put 5 pillows on it and then 2-3 comforters over them.

Will they give you extra bedding to make it more comfortable? We are going to be using a sofa bed for the first time as well, and not looking forward to the possibility of a cranky preteen 12 year old for a week if she doesn't sleep well.

Yes, just ask the stateroom attendant

I've been on cruises where they didn't but then when asked they will...

As per comfort -- I can sleep on anything but my wife cannot. Young kids I can see not complaining (less than 8 -- random number) but depending on your kids, its very stiff.
