Anthem - Staterooms for 4 with "bunk beds"

[jflatto]

We are looking at sailing on the Anthem for December 2017. From a quick look at the floor plans, DW was not seeing much for rooms that slept four using a pull down bed. We have B/G twins who will be 15 next year and will each need their own beds, not a single pull out sofa.

 

Are there options for 4 in a room where the kids can have their own beds?

 

Thanks.

Family Junior Suites have a pullman, a sofabed, and 2 bathrooms.

Thanks but we were trying to avoid a suite to make it a little cheaper. We typically like ocean-view balcony staterooms on higher floors. Thus, we were wondering if certain classes of staterooms sleep 4.

For some reason on Anthem (and a number of other new ships) they decided not to put pullmans in the standard cabins. I agree with 2 kids it is so much easier to have at least one. Not sure what their reasoning was.

 

If you are comfortable with it look into a balcony with an inside across the hall. We found that is often about the same or cheaper, and you get 2 bathrooms!

We ended up booking two Inside Connecting Cabins for just that reason 15yo son & 14yo daughter. Also on Anthem OTS Christmas/New Years 2016.

Same for Bermuda cruise 19 year old B/G Twins although ours are not connecting but they are adults.

There are a few, not many, 4 people with the Pullmans in the Oceanview category. I haven't found any balconies with the Pullman, only the sofa bed. IMO it's quite disappointing. They're pushing you to book two cabins.

We ran into the same problem on Harmony, went with 2 cabins. We did 4 adults with the two Pullman beds on Radiance and it worked well, so we were hoping to do it again to save a bit of money on Harmony, but no such luck. Almost all 4 sleepers just have a pull out sofa

What deck? I only see sofabeds.

I would love to know where these are because I was on the phone with RC last night and asked about this. "where are the pullman rooms?" She looked at all decks and said, "wow, I guess this ship doesn't have any because I can't find any". Maybe she was only looking for inside category but I was on the phone for a while looking at all kinds of configurations since we are a party of 6 now (one daughter just got married :) ). Everything is "sofa/double bed". UGH! Really Royal? You've never heard of sister/brother siblings? I SO wish I could pick another ship! But we are in upstate NY and won't have to fly and with 6 that makes a huge difference. Plus, we love the 9 nt. We've done this cruise twice before and it was perfect. WE MISS YOU EXPLORER!!!!!!

 

This is probably the biggest disappointment with this ship. We have cruised 3 other times, 1 disney and 2 RC and LOVED having the pullman.

 

ugh. :cool:

I'm sure they've heard too much about how people share the rooms. They want you to book 2 rooms.

I wish I would have written down the numbers because now I don't see anything but the sofa beds. But i could have sworn there were afew on deck 3 quoth the Pullman.

I understand about the drive. I don't know if you would be interested in doing NCL Breakaway. We did them in March. It was ok.

That's the kicker. I AM booking two rooms! I have 6 people. I have tried many configurations and one of them is booking a balcony for hubby and me and then a room for the rest. OR two rooms with 3 each in them. OR a balcony suite for 4 of us with newlyweds in an interior room. But you have to move up to a 2 bedroom suite I think to get separate beds(pullmans) along with a sofabed. It's really a headache. So much easier on the Explorer.

I was looking again after reading a review on here about the Royal Family Suites having pullmans in the second bedroom. So I looked at deck plans and found them. They were indeed in the Royal family suite. Of course I'm guessing that's about 15 grand for 4 of us? Not sure. When I go to RC website I don't get the option for the RFS. ??

 

Yeah, I'm not sure I want to try NCL. Is it 9 nt?

Thanks for the responses. It is frustrating that there are limited rooms that can book 4 without having 2 in the pull out. We ended up reserving two rooms and that was considerably cheaper by thousands than a junior suite.
