Can we request a trundle?

If we don't want our three year old to sleep on an upper, can we request the room steward to bring us a trundle? This is on a Fantasy class ship.

Been wondering the same thing. My 2.5 year old is not safe on the bunks either. I was going to request a crib, but since she's in a toddler bed at home, I'd rather have a trundle.

We were told that only certain cabins can handle the trundle beds. In our case, it is a person with a disability that can't climb up to the bunk. Not sure what we heard was correct or not, but it's worth asking about.

Ours is still in a crib at home and we could bring the pack n play but she's really over the weight limit for it.

 

Guess we could always put the mattress from the upper on the floor, think I've seen this mentioned.

If you think your child can't handle being in an upper bunk, just take the mattress from the bunk and put in on the floor in your cabin and use it that way. I know your room steward will help with this. Also, if you have a sofa in your room, have the room steward turn the sofa towards the wall at night and make it up as a bed that way.

Fantasy class OV & IS cabins do no not have sofas.

 

OP- Ask your room steward for a trundle. If one is available s/he will get it for you.

Fantasy class balcony cabins also do not have sofas. The suites do. Like the pp said, you can request a trundle or rollaway from the room steward. It's true that only some of the rooms are designated as being able to take a trundle/rollaway, and those designations were very arbitrary. It was just a way of them not booking too many people into trundles/rollaways. But as long as there is one available somewhere, they will accommodate.

 

On my first cruise, my friend's mom slept in the upper bunk one night, and she didn't want to have to do that again. They found an unused rollaway, and brought it to the room for her on the 2nd day.

The last time we were on the Fascination which is a Fantasy class ship we were in an oceanview room. There was a trundle bed stored under our bed...had problems storing luggage because it was in the way but you should be able to get one.

 

I would go to guest services and ask..you might get better results if your room steward is busy and does not want to get one.

For next time:)

Store the luggage on the side facing the window. Might have to put them under from the foot of the bed. The beds are lightweight. 3 of the last four cruises on the Inspiration I've moved beds around.

 

I'd wait til after dinner to see if the trundle has been brought in. Complaining to GS beforehand might get the steward in trouble.
