brookeinmn Posted March 26, 2014 #1 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Hi everyone. We are booked in a SY category for our upcoming cruise. We have an adjoining suite with the grandparents. We are a family of four, but the SY rooms only officially hold 3. So..we "officially" booked 3 per room. It really isn't our intention of having one of our kids bunk with grandma and grandpa every night though (perhaps 1-2). Is there room in this category for a rollaway? Does the rollway fold or get moved during the day? Should we consider bringing a small travel cot instead for our youngest child? Will the room steward help prepare this 4th bed for us in our cabin..especially if we tip him generously beforehand for it? Thanks for any tips or advice.

jaspersmycat Posted March 26, 2014 #2 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I'm not sure the HAL ships have rollaway beds. You should contact ship services and find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brookeinmn Posted March 26, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Yes, they do have rollaways. Does anyone know if the SY suite has enough room for one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magandab Posted March 26, 2014 #4 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I don't know if there is room, but I doubt the steward will, or can, help you set up a cabin limited to three passengers for four. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alwaysfrantic Posted March 26, 2014 #5 Share Posted March 26, 2014 If the children are little enough would they sleep toe to toe in the twin? I was in an SY last month. I'm not sure a true twin size rollaway would fit in the room. I didn't know HAL had them. If they say they allow and provide, then I guess it would fit.

brookeinmn Posted March 26, 2014 Author #6 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I don't think the little sofa bed would work, maybe if they slept head to toe. They are both skinny, so it just might. Otherwise DH and I usually sleep on a queen bed. If the main bed is as big as a king, maybe we'll just let whoever kicks the least sleep with us. None of these options are ideal, but the smaller quad rooms with the bunk over the bed was just not desirable. Booking 3 and 3 in adjoining rooms was the best solution we could come up with at the time. Ship Services was willing to request a rollaway for me...but as my husband says, it's sometimes easier to ask forgiveness than it is permission. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinjudy Posted March 27, 2014 #7 Share Posted March 27, 2014 We did this on Osterdam with the grand kids. One was booked into our SY but they ended up sharing the twin in their parent's room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
