Suites - 2 beds or one?

[dbsb3233]

Does anyone know if the beds in the suites in Carnival ships can be separated into two like they can in regular cabins?

 

We have a free cruise benefit from a casino that's good for a suite this time, but we need 2 beds.

Yes, they can be separated into 2 beds.

 

Enjoy your suite! You'll be spoiled!

Yep, my mom and sister shared a Ocean Suite on the Dream last March and they were the 2 twins :).

Thanks, everyone! When I was reading the cabin descriptions here:

 

http://www.icruise.com/ships/carnival-cruises-carnival-splendor-staterooms.html

 

It suggests the suite beds cannot be separated. For regular rooms (balcony/OV/inside) it says "two twin beds that convert to a queen-sized bed", whereas for the suites it simply says "king-sized bed", so it left my wondering.

 

So in essense, the suites simply have wider twin beds that can combine to form a single king if needed, I guess. That would be great!

My sister and I were in an Ocean Suite and had the beds separated. They were still tiny. Def not a double on their own! Bit bigger than a single, maybe!! But loved the size of the room!!

I just cruised on the Liberty in an OS - Ocean Suite. Two of their standard twin beds were in my suite.

What confuses many people, and causes issues with the words used, is that when the 2 beds are put together, it is neither a queen nor a king. A queen is 60" wide, a king is 72" or more. But Carnival's 2 beds pushed together is 66" wide. So it's a kween or a quing. Nobody really knows what to call it. Carnival's websites will call it a king, people around here usually call it a queen. Maybe it should be called a prince.

 

It also explains the comment about the separated beds feeling small. A twin should be 36" or so, but Carnival's are about 33". It makes a big difference at that size.

 

When I look at goccl's website for Splendor, it looks like all the suites are listing the beds as "twin/king", just like in almost all the other rooms. "twin/king" means 2 twins or a king (by their definition of a king).

Thanks for the detailed explanation! That helps explain it.

 

I'd since checked a few other websites' description of the cabins and indeed the others confirmed the suite beds split in two just like the other cabins.

 

We've been on 14 cruises before but never in a suite. We were on Carnival for the first time a few months ago (OV cabin). We always split the beds up. I didn't really notice the twin beds being any bigger or smaller than the ones on RCCL, Princess, Carnival, or NCL. I don't think anyone uses a standard 39" twin mattress like people have at home. I always have to do the "roll and scoot" when rolling over in bed instead of just the standard "roll".

 

One thing that WAS different though is the Carnival beds were taller and better designed to put suitcases and other items under them, which was great.
