waltero61 Posted February 25, 2014 #1 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I have an S3 (The Haven Owner's Suite with Large Balcony) suite booked for May. It states it sleeps 4. Maybe if you're travelling with 2 small kids. I will be travelling with my wife and 2 college age children. The king is for me and the wife (LOL). The fold out is for one of the kids. Norwegian told me they no longer have roll-away's. My question is this...are inflatable mattresses allowed in your cabin? I called, and believe it or not, they did not have an answer for me. They said they would get back to me, but they haven't yet. There's plenty of room for one, I just want to know if there are any rules against it. Anyone with experience on this? Thanks in advance for any assistance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garycarla Posted February 25, 2014 #2 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I would consider the 2BR - they get their own room. You get privacy, and your OWN bathroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdmike Posted February 25, 2014 #3 Share Posted February 25, 2014 If they claim that the room sleeps 4, and you book 4 in it, I'd let THEM figure out to accommodate you. I'd leave the air mattress at home. It's not your problem. Believe me, they will figure out sleeping arrangements, and I highly doubt that they don't have folding beds on board. That would be like a hotel not having any. Just dumb. I think you were given bad info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said they used to have cribs and roll-away's but now they only provide cribs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
time2cruise1 Posted February 25, 2014 #5 Share Posted February 25, 2014 No problem bringing an inflatable bed if you wish. We did that 2 weeks ago in the GV for one of my grandsons so 4 could sleep in one of the bedrooms. Not exactly he got the walk in closet :D The cabin steward made it up everyday.

ch7012 Posted February 25, 2014 #6 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I did the same thing in our Family Suite on the Dawn last year and it worked great. Same as other poster, the steward made it up everyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that walk in closet is ideal: it has a lot of potential :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe the person I spoke with could not answer such a simple question. And that was after she said she spoke with her supervisor.

Maybe if you're travelling with 2 small kids. I will be travelling with my wife and 2 college age children..... The 2nd BR in the 2BR suite has a pullout couch, a pullman type pulldown and a separate bathroom. This is all separated by a door, just like the entrance to the bath and master BR has a door. Not the same in the OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puddles99 Posted February 25, 2014 #13 Share Posted February 25, 2014 (edited) Their answer would be that the pull-out sleeps 2. They said they used to have cribs and roll-away's but now they only provide cribs. They do have rollaway cots - we had one brought into the Gem GV in November. They actually have two different kinds and our steward made sure we got the "better" one. We saw both (they brought one and she had it swapped). So I think you were given bad info.

When I originally booked, I was only expecting one kid to come. The other got an unexpected break from school so decided to tag along. I thought a roll-away wouldn't be an issue until I called Norwegian and was told no-can-do. My wife and I had that same room last year and wanted it again, hence, the inflatable bed question.

Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app I hope you're right. At this point, I think I'll just wait until I'm contacted by Norwegian for our room preferences. I'll discuss it with our "pre-cruise concierge" at that point in time. Thank you very much for that info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getaway4fun Posted February 25, 2014 #16 Share Posted February 25, 2014 We have the same issue on our upcoming cruise on the Epic. DD is getting the couch and DS said he will sleep either in a sleeping bag with inflatable pad or on a sun lounger. Neither of my kids wanted to sleep in the 2nd bedroom without windows so we decided against the 2 bedroom suite. When I spoke to the pre-concierge, she suggested that I get a couple extra egg crate mattress pads for him to put under his sleeping pad. My DS has slept on a boulder while hiking in New Mexico so this will be "deluxe" accommodations for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they just changed the policy first of the year? I'm bringing the air mattress to be on the safe side. Then I'll speak with the on-board concierge or butler or steward as soon as I get on board to see if they can accommodate us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I wanted to follow up and advise that I have received a response back from the ship and port operations and it has been approved for you to bring your air mattress onboard with you for your sailing on the Norwegian Gem."

Thanks so much for the follow up post. Glad it is working out for you. Just a recommendation, I would request one of the egg crate mattress pads for the air mattress. Your room steward can make up the pad and air mattress just like a "real" bed. Have a great cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
