Elation Cabin E217 (Oceanview Stateroom w/pull down beds)

[stephanie13rown]

Okay, guys...I just booked an upgrade from an Interior w/2 portholes (M8) to an Oceanview Stateroom with 2 pull down beds (E217). I didn't know it had the pull down beds until I had already booked, and I'm a little nervous. It's just myself and a girl friend traveling, so we don't need the pull downs, but I'm wondering if there is a particular benefit or drawback of having them in the room. I'm concerned that it will make the cabin not look so "pretty", ya know? I'm also concerned it might feel more crowded, even if we don't pull them down. On the other hand, I was thinking it might add some extra luggage storage and/or creative seating. I don't know. I'd love to hear your feedback!

The pull down beds will be on the side walls and stowed, and really will be in the way if you ask them to be lowered for storage. EM
