Twin beds do not convert to king

[Ironmen]

Twin beds do not convert to king when both uppers in use.

 

Does this mean that Carnival will not put the twins together as a king? Or does it just mean that you cannot use the ladder?

 

I was looking at the balcony room on the Fascination and have a family of 4.

My kids had a Inside room last cruise on same ship..R-114 and had King for my son,while my daughter had both uppers 1 for her dolls and such while other was open for her to sleep.

We had 4 in a room on the Elation a couple of years ago. The twins were pushed together for DW & I. Our boys each slept in one of the drop down beds. I don't remember if they were able to use the ladder or not. I believe they just stood on the king bed and hopped up into the bunk. It worked but it was very crowded. Be careful, DW just about knocked herself out on the corner of one of those bunks.

Here is picture before they made up beds. But you can see in picture Twins push together. Then the uppers(Brown units on wall) and staggered so each ladder is on other end of eachother.

 

Hope this help a little..

You do not want to have the beds together as a King - basically the head of the bed is up under one of the upper bunks (crosswise) and the foot of the bed comes under the edge of the other upper. In essence, to get to the balcony or bathroom, you have to duck under the bunk at the foot of the bed when its down. We had our room steward split the bed on day 1 so that there was a single up under each bunk directly. This let us keep the beds down during the day if kids wanted to go up and read and we had plenty of walking room without trying to duck under a bunk.

Someone posted a review with pictures recently. We have a balcony for 4 booked in October, but 1 of our 4 is a 2 yr old who will probably sleep with us or I might see about putting the bunk mattress on the floor. IMO, It's not a very good setup if you can't have the king and 2 bunks for the kids.

Also, if the beds are put together, then you lose valuable floor space.

Here is a pic from from the Ecstasy. Next time we will seperate the bed for more floor space. The ladder was placed at the head of the bunk on the right

depends on ship and cabin. On one sailing we had the kids with us, the twins could not be put together to make a king, but the other times they have been together.

My niece slept on the bed above the king. She didn't use the ladder. She stepped on the bed and then hoisted herself up.

with this set up-- putting each bed UNDER each bunk bed will give you tons more floor space-- and see that luggage over in the corner-- store it under the beds.

 

with 4 people in your cabin0-- do not live out of suitcases-- pack the cases out-- and use the stored luggage for dirty clothes
