jakkojakko Posted May 21, 2016 #26 Share Posted May 21, 2016 A passenger that was on the first cruise informed me today that the beds are shorter than on the other ships. The reason is that the cabins are smaller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pris993 Posted May 21, 2016 #27 Share Posted May 21, 2016 A passenger that was on the first cruise informed me today that the beds are shorter than on the other ships. The reason is that the cabins are smaller. We stopped crusining on RCCL years ago for the same reason, bed sizes less than standard. No tub in balcony cabin a deal braker for us... will not cruise new HAL ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InTheWASide Posted May 22, 2016 #28 Share Posted May 22, 2016 A passenger that was on the first cruise informed me today that the beds are shorter than on the other ships. The reason is that the cabins are smaller. The beds were the exact same size. No idea where that came from, but it's total BS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see no reason why he would blatently lie. He is four star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been so many people posting their observations about time aboard the K'dam, yet not a single passenger has reported the beds being shorter AFAIK.

Fair enough but I've already slept in those beds and can tell you there's no difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently it is not so significant that it is readily noticable, only for large persons lying on the bed. Just for the sake of argument, making the cabins 4 inches less wide would not be noticed if you also shorten the bed somewhat. Times 70 cabins is additional 4 cabins per deck, times say 7 decks is an additional 28 cabinsand more revenue. Look what they did to the promenade deck.

Sherry H Posted May 22, 2016 #33 Share Posted May 22, 2016 They are not going to have the manufacturer make beds shorter for one ship only! Makes no sense...not cost effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No malice intended and just for the sake of argument :), beds are already made in different sizes and lenghts. I know, because I have a nonstandard lenght, and it was no problem ordering one and that's just me, let alone a few thousand for a ship. This may not be the case here. However , to me, the gentleman sounded very genuine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
