Rare LHT28 Posted April 21, 2012 #2 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Maybe on the Oceania class ships :D I would not want to try it on the R-ships unless you are very close friends Lyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orchestrapal Posted April 21, 2012 #3 Share Posted April 21, 2012 If booking on the R ships-try it first in a walk in closet and you'll know if you can do it or not.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no fuss travel Posted April 21, 2012 #4 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Is it possible that three adults can share a veranda cabin and still remain friends? Two's company, three's a crowd. I did it once with 2 other girl friends and vowed I would never do it again. I spent 2/3's of the cruise being in the position of peace maker. I still shudder when I think about it. Yes, I am still friends with both girlfriends, I just don't put them together in the same room.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoHoHo Posted April 21, 2012 #5 Share Posted April 21, 2012 There is no privacy other than escaping to the bathroom. The bed can be made up into two approx US twin size (request this ahead of time if wanted) and beside the bed separated by a small 'night stand' is a sofa with a pull out bed. The walkway at the foot of the bed is 'one-way' at a time and if all three of you were standing in the main area of the room you'd be pretty much face to face. You would have to plan your morning and evening routines to prepare for bed. Without moving up signifcantly in category there is no separate sleeping area on these ships. I have been looking for that but have not found separate sleeping areas without moving into fairly high level suites on most cruise lines. Even on those some are not all that private.

tourguide97 Posted April 22, 2012 Author #8 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Actually my Daughter and Son-in-law would be in the cabin with me. Thanks for replying. Tourguide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimandStan Posted April 22, 2012 #9 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Actually my Daughter and Son-in-law would be in the cabin with me. Thanks for replying. Tourguide On the newer ships (Marina & Riviera) you should be fine, provided that you stay organized and agile enough to dress in the bathroom. On the older, smaller ships, getting around the foot of the bed can be frustrating and the REAL Problems usually revolve around privacy. Those bathrooms are small enough (and after a shower, steamy enough) so that it isn't practical to get dressed in them. This usually results in one of the three being exiled to the veranda with the curtains drawn, or a public room until the other two are dressed. Presumably, your daughter would be fine dressing in front of you or her husband, but as that means that SHE can never be the odd man out, resentments can occur. Sometimes, the sole male in this situation, gallantly volunteers to shower and dress in the gymnasium locker room each evening, in order to give the ladies more privacy, but on longer cruises, the lack of couple-time can still wrankle, so that is not a perfect solution either. You know the people involved. Will there be a problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capecodder2 Posted April 23, 2012 #10 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I love my daughters and sons-in-law and enjoy sharing time with them, BUT sharing a ship cabin with them? No way. Can't imagine even considering it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mura Posted April 23, 2012 #11 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Once upon a time in Renaissance days, I inquired whether the owner's suite would be possible for my husband, me and my mother. I knew there was a second bathroom and thought it might work. I was advised in no uncertain terms (I forget who did the advising) that this was no a good idea. When I saw the OS, I realized that was true. The third person, even in an OS on one of the "R" ships, would be sleeping on a sofa in the living room and the second bathroom is only a half-bath. Jim&Stan are right that it would be more feasible on Marina or Riviera, but I think three adults in one cabin is a bit of a stretch under any circumstances. We ended up getting separate cabins. True, that's much more expensive these days than it was when we took my mother on a cruise in 2004 ... But in your situation, that is what *I* would do. Good luck on whatever you decide.
