butnzb Posted June 14, 2005 #1 Share Posted June 14, 2005 We have booked two rooms for three people each & am a little curious about the upper berth. The size, is it about the same size as a regular twin? And the main question, is there a weight limit? The few pictures I have seen of them I can't really tell how sturdy they are. This will be our first cruise with our family and have never had a cabin with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPete Posted June 14, 2005 #2 Share Posted June 14, 2005 I slept in one on the Legend being 240 lbs, and 6'1". I was just wishing it had a headboard. Can't sleep without one. Thankfully, it was a 2 day CTN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

butnzb Posted June 14, 2005 Author #4 Share Posted June 14, 2005 Thanks! I appreciate it. Our two sons are both taking their girlfriends & I had planned on putting them in the uppers. I had one that looked at me like I was crazy when I told her :eek: & I am like, look if you want to go thats where you will be (not really, it just kind of got off with me) & I know my son, thats ok I will take it. And we are talking 6'2 220 lbs. So your input has really helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You and your husband and your two sons and their girl friends in two cabins. So you and the two girls will be in one cabin and your husband the your two sons will be in the other one? I assume that both girls parents have approved of this arrangement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klfrodo Posted June 15, 2005 #8 Share Posted June 15, 2005 :p You're right,,none of your business. Could be that all parties involved are adults. Sons and daughters don't stay kids forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4boys4mom Posted June 16, 2005 #11 Share Posted June 16, 2005 6'2 220 doesn't sound like a little boy to me. one of my boys lost his virginity on a cruise.

sunshine 229 Posted June 16, 2005 #15 Share Posted June 16, 2005 Okay I just found this funny, this is a cruise board and on this thread a legitimate cruise related question was followed with moral judgements and health advice! Come on, those of you who questioned the placement of the boys vs. girls and made comments about the OP's party's weight, can you explain how you could justify those as comments with any place here? I assume that both girls parents have approved of this arrangement? PS: If the 'girls' parents know that the girls are going on this cruise isn't it up to them to determine that the sleeping arrangements meet their standards?

You and your husband and your two sons and their girl friends in two cabins. So you and the two girls will be in one cabin and your husband the your two sons will be in the other one? I assume that both girls parents have approved of this arrangement? You are right, the girls will be w/me and the boys will be in the cabin w/DH. One (girl) young lady is 21 the other is 16. Both girls parents know and approve. For the minor girl I already have in my little hands a certified letter signed by both parents giving us permission to take her with us, plus instructions on what to do incase of a medical emergency along with insurance card and certified birth certificate. I had called Carnival to see exactly what was needed they said only the birth certificate and drivers license, but a letter would be good to protect us.

And hopefully to clear this up... My oldest son is 23, 6ft 193 lbs. The girls think he looks fine & naturally I think he looks great, but then I am biased. My baby is 17, 6'2 220 and it is all muscle, not an ounce of fat, an excellent football player and is going on to play in college. He is also chased by all the girls and I think he is the best looking young man I have ever seen. Both of their girl friends are petite and beautiful blondes, neither of which are over 125 lbs sopping wet. Sorry.. I am sure this was not ment as an insult, but you done ruffled Momma's feathers :p . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patdmoose Posted June 18, 2005 #20 Share Posted June 18, 2005 A few years ago, we took my adult daughter with us on the Holiday. I let the girls take the lower berths, and I took the 'upper'. I am 6'2" and 230 lbs. (and I have never used the water slide) There was pleny of room, but be sure to bring a night light. 50 yr. old males, sometimes have to get up in the middle of the night, and the ladder is difficult to manage in the dark. +++One night, my wife's cell phone (which she likes to use as her alarm clock) picked up a message while we sailing close to some island. Her message alert is a very loud 'WHEEEE' sound. I sat straight up in the upper and hit my head on the ceiling. So tell whoever is up there to remember that they have a low clearance.
