I don't know if the sky suite that is open to the public on the Nov. 27 cruise will have them as twins; but will ask about them if possible. This is the picture that made me start to wonder how they would separate them. The end table looks screwed to the wall so either the one bed sits in front of the end table or if beside the end table, the other bed will block the entry to sitting area. Or maybe they just unscrew the end table and take it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare hcat Posted November 9, 2018 #5477 Share Posted November 9, 2018 I would like to know about Sky Suites without a bed that faces the ocean.. We prefer the trad bed set up...not a fan of the see through bathroom window. Hope X would note these configurations on the website ..and deck plans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Repeatedly unscrewing it from the wall and screwing it back in would become an issue; which I don't think they will do. Hopefully, it is on a easy to remove bracket. We will try to find out in 2.5 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photolovingal Posted November 9, 2018 #5479 Share Posted November 9, 2018 I’m on the Nov. 27th cruise with my son in a sky suite and we will have the twin beds (at least I’m hoping that’s how the beds will be set up) so I will post some photos? I just need to figure out how to post the photos. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, it would be easier for guests to choose their bed preference! We like the see through bathroom window, but I've got a feeling the beds won't be facing the sea in the Aft S1's so we won’t have them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be in Ft Lauderdale from Nov 23-27 before we go on an Oceania cruise out of Miami. I am going to try to get a peek at the ship while I'm there. Some people are offering suggestions on where the best spots to view it are. Thrilled that MVPinBoynton saw your post about the 2 day and booked it. He takes the best tours of ships - love his website. I was told the beds will be in an L configuration when split into twins. Will be in an aft S1 for the December 1 sailing, and will have twin configuration. If VT doesn't get twin bedded pictures before then, I'll post from my cabin.

That's very interesting that they would do an L configuration. Reminds me of beds in tiny cabins on RCCL in late 80's That might be a great plan because it would make the beds look more like an L shaped sofa if my vision of the placement is correct. Look forward to pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe they just unscrew the end table and take it out. Based on a simple engineering thinking, in this "see-through" version of the room it is impossible to arrange two separate twin beds, sorry to disappoint you... The nightstand on the wall is fixed permanently and will not get detached - look at the round corner, the stand is curved at the left side as well. The headboard is also fixed permanently. No one's gonna do any "unscrewing/screwing" during a few VERY rushed hours of passenger change on Sundays... Someone also said about the L-shape configuration - again, there is not that much space in there to allow such setting. It either needs to place one bed along the cabin separation wall, and another - head-to-head with it (in this case the second bed will block the walk-through from corridor), or one bed should have head at the separation wall, and another - at the bathroom wall, making sort of a "square" (but there's simply not enough room to allow that either; there is a couch that cannot be moved, do not forget it). Either way, for poor stateroom attendants who will be under high pressure to change cottons/clean/tidy up, THE ONLY way to quickly rearrange beds into twin configuration is to just move them apart - which means that the twin bed configuration will be available ONLY when they are NOT facing the window... Sorry to disappoint you again. I hope there will be a more elegant and easy-to-do solution, though 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect the afts are a bit different for a reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's my sister and myself so we can do the king bed if it can't be done but would imagine there may be some unhappy people if they find out that what they booked isn't possible. Hopefully, MVPinBoynton and vtcruising can find out what the situation with twin bed set up is going to be. I'm in 9183 if you would be so kind to check.

AtlantaCruiser72 Posted November 10, 2018 #5498 Share Posted November 10, 2018 (edited) Here's my take on the bedding - there will be a second, moveable, nightstand on the other side of the bed (see rendering below) that will most likely be 9-12" wide, it just is not visible in the photo as the cabin is still under construction (looks like a closet tower lying on it's side on the floor undergoing assembly). That said once the beds are separated the OTHER nightstand which is moveable will go between the beds, simple as that :) Edited November 10, 2018 by AtlantaCruiser72 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
