Nelsonb1982 Posted December 10, 2017 #1 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Do the mattresses come off the upper Pullman? Carnival told me they can't be removed but we have 2 small children and will need one of them to be on the couch and one on the floor so I hope the mattress can be removed to be put on the floor. Anyone do this in the past? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plum24 Posted December 10, 2017 #2 Share Posted December 10, 2017 My son was 4 when he slept in a Pullman on Carnival. He loved it! There's a barrier so very safe. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikesteg Posted December 14, 2017 #3 Share Posted December 14, 2017 The barrier depends on the ship, but the ones we've seen (mostly Conquest class ships lately) are a single upside down U-shaped rail that covers about 1/2 the side of the bed and wobbles quite a bit. OK for an adult and maybe a child that rarely moves, but not for an child with any sort of movement during sleep. Of course, that's a personal judgment. The mattresses can be moved to the floor. It's a bit unwieldy, but we've done it many times. However, you should put it back up in the morning, as we were told on a cruise 4 or 5 years ago that it's against safety policy to have someone sleeping on the floor. We've never tested what they might do if we were caught, but it takes too much of the floor space anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerif Posted December 16, 2017 #4 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Don't know about Carnival, but RCI says children must be 6 in order to use the Pullman. You might consider bringing an inflatable mattress for the floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horsegal Posted December 16, 2017 #5 Share Posted December 16, 2017 The last cruise I was on a little girl maybe 5 had fallen out of the Pullman and hit her face or head on a piece of furniture. I was walking back to my cabin and the dad was carrying the crying girl in his arms and rushing to medical, the cabin steward told me what had happened. If you have any doubts find a way to have your child sleep on the floor or one of the other beds. My son is only 2 and still in a crib but he is a crazy sleeper it might be a very very long time before I would trust him in a Pullman. I would sleep in the Pullman myself and have the lower beds set up into twins for him and hubby, hubby is way to tall and possibly to heavy to sleep in a Pullman.

gottagocruisin Posted December 16, 2017 #6 Share Posted December 16, 2017 On Carnival's Valor last year, I slept on the Pullman bed and gave my teenage son the twin bed. It was spacious and very comfortable to me. This may be an option for your family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athankfulheart Posted December 24, 2017 #7 Share Posted December 24, 2017 The uppers on the Carnival ships I have been on have "real" mattresses which are very comfy but a pain to move. I would bring some pool rafts or Regalo cots instead for simplicty's sake. Sent from my SM-N920V using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athankfulheart Posted December 24, 2017 #8 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Depending on the size of your little guys, you may be able to have them share the sofa with head and feet on opposite ends...

lucyddr Posted January 4, 2018 #9 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Our small 3 year olds (under 40" at the time and under 33lbs) took turns sleeping nightly on the upper bed without issues. We bought inflatable pool noodles and placed them under the fitted sheet to add an extra barrier. We were worried, but it really worked out wonderfully! One thing to know is that some Carnival ships have sofa beds with a roll out trundle. Triumph has these, which are wonderful for small children. Might be worth checking into for other ships! If you just know you can't put a child on the upper, I'd do feet to feet on the sofa bed or either bring a foldable cot (Regalo makes a neat one) for the second child. We always travelled with Shrunks inflatable crib-size mattresses, though they will be a small pain to store during the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
