hi quick question if u can help

hi all

just a quick question do all rooms on independence of seas have a sofa bed or is it only selected ones?

reason im asking is im confused as some have something called a pullman bed whatever that is

can someone let me know what a pullman bed is and also if they have sofabeds

thanks for the help for a new cruiser

No, not all cabins have a sofa bed.

A pullman bed is a bed pulling down from the ceiling, like a bunk bed.

Here is a pic with two pullmans

When having a look at RCI´s deck plans you can see little symbols to indicate if there´s a sofa bed.

Sofa bed is a little triangle, sofa bed and pullman is a little diamond.

Ok thanks for help

I’m going to ask a stupid question but if u wanted the cabin steward would he make the sofa into a bed even if it not a sofa bed?

Pullman on Indie last month.

Look carefully at the deckplans and the little symbols.

Connecting rooms will only have a chair, not a sofa.

Yes it can be done, but it would be a matter of how comfortable that would be, or in other words, who would be sleeping there (kid / adult, small / big person).

The cabin steward will try to accomodate your requests as much as possible. However you need a cabin that has a third berth. So if you are three persons (even a baby is a person) you need a cabin holding three and having either a pullman or a sofa bed.

Not all cabins will have a full sofa!

The cabin has to be designated as a least a 3 person cabin to book 3 people in it.

It’s me my partner and my 2 year old

A regular sofa, with a sheet on it, will fit a 2 year old just fine. They also have P&P's if that would suit your little one better. However, since there are 3 of you in the cabin, you must book a cabin that sleeps 3...you can't book something that only sleeps 2, even if a child won't be using another bed.

So, if the cabin has a pullman, you can book it, but you do NOT have to USE the pullman! If the pullman isn't "pulled down", you will barely know it's there!

I put the mattress from the Pullman on the floor and slept on that. Being a lady if a certain age I doubted my ability to get up and down that ladder in the night....🤪[emoji57]

No.

There are times that Royal will allow a double occupancy cabin to be booked for 3 if one of the guests is under 2. Since the OP said they had a 2YO this may have been what happened.

That sounds like a great idea, esp since it is 2 yo.

I have only used a pullman 3 times on a cruise. The first two times was when I 1718. Can't remember any problems. The third was last year on our Med cruise, when me and my wife shared a cabin with my MIL. I am now in my mid fifties. It was interested getting up and down from the pullman. I had to be very concious when I was doing it.

OP says 2 YO. not almost 2 YO. that means they must book a cabin that sleeps 3. so unless they are fudging Junior's age, they cannot book a 2 person cabin and get a Pack n Play.

And how many adults refer to a 1 year and 10 month old as a 2YO. I know we certainly did.

There are a lot of unknowns here and I did say it “may” have been what happened.
