Pullman Beds: Acrobatics Needed?

[n4runner]

Leaving on ROS 02/27/05 - this is our 2nd cruise and this time we're taking DD (13) with us - can't wait to share our adventures with her!

 

So pardon my ignornace - but just how do the pullman beds work? They come down from the ceiling? She'll climb up from the bed - back flip on from the couch? Do I need to bring Olympic style score cards?

 

Silly question I know - but dying of curiosity.....

The bed will either drop from the ceiling and a ladder will be provided or you will have a couch that makes into a bed. As they say in our nursing home, 'it depends'. It depends on what type of cabin you have.

 

Either way it will be great and easy for a 13 year old..

There was a thread about this just a couple weeks ago. Check it out here. It has a couple of pics.

We had a pullman bed on our 17 night cruise from Hawaii to New Zealand. We were travelling with our then 15-year-old daughter. DD is partly paralyszed on one side and no problem climbing up the ladder to her "bunk".
