renebfl Posted April 13, 2019 #1 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Thinking of doing 2 bedroom Haven suite for transatlantic. What do you think about the 5 adults or should we get 2 balcony rooms. Do the beds separate in the 2 bedroom suite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexddd Posted April 13, 2019 #2 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Certainly do able and nice room but IMO wouldn't do it. Which two get the large master? Where does fifth sleep, couch in living room or with other two in the inside like small cabin? But could maybe suck it up to get Haven over balcony. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david_sobe Posted April 13, 2019 #4 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Yes the beds don't separate. Suite can actually sleep 6. Master bed sleeps 2 2nd bedroom sleeps 2 smaller people 1 person sleeps on bunk above bed in 2nd bedroom 1 person sleeps on sofa bed So with 5, it gives you a little flexiblity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YVRBassElectric Posted April 13, 2019 #6 Share Posted April 13, 2019 We were in the 2 bed on the Breakaway with 3 adults and it wasn't roomy - would never do it with 5 adults. The master bed & bath are huge and lovely - the 2nd is SMALL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seawoff Posted April 13, 2019 #7 Share Posted April 13, 2019 http://DON'T DO IT before warned The master is very comfortable The double sofa bed in the second bedroom is pitiful not a double and not comfortable the sofa bed in the living room is a single and not much better any way you split it three adults are in for a rough trip I am not afflicted with the princess and the pea syndrome but after two night one on the second bed sofa and one on the living room sofa I moved in to bed with my daughter in the master. if you are 5 adults three of you will be unhappy.

bonvoyagie Posted April 13, 2019 #8 Share Posted April 13, 2019 We were OK with 3 adults on a 14 day port intensive cruise - probably would have been OK for a TA as there was plenty of room otherwise. As for actual sleeping comfort - the second bedroom is OK for one adult or 2 children. The sofa is OK for 1 person. I equate sleeping arrangements in these cabins the same as RVs and tents - anything above 2 is a squeeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike D. Posted April 13, 2019 #9 Share Posted April 13, 2019 I drew the short straw (not really...I volunteered) in a 2 Bedroom Family suite on the Breakaway. I'm an average sized (?) male at 5'8" and 190. I was fine with the bunk in the kids room It was nice being able to control the temperature, have my own bathroom and own TV. (I cruise with Nanook of the North who always turns the thermostat all the way down and who I don't sleep with). But if another adult or even a child was added to the little room, I would have considered that a big sacrifice. The closet is pretty small and the shelve space is limited. I think two adults' travel necessities would overfill the capacity of the little room. There is adequate storage space in the living room area, though. I like being in the Haven...love the restaurant and the service. But, with 5 adults, I'd probably be reaching in my wallet to get a cabin(s) more suited to a crowd. I'll confirm that the king bed in the 2 bedroom Haven suite does not separate nor do the king beds on the Dawn and Star family suites even though the website descriptions says that they do. Our steward on the Star offered to bring in a chain saw but he had a great sense of humor. I believe that the previous poster is correct about none of the king beds in Suites (other than mini-suites) separate but I'd love to be corrected on that.

david_sobe Posted April 13, 2019 #11 Share Posted April 13, 2019 (edited) Miserable in the Haven? Hardly. 5 Adults can easily swing the 2 bedroom. The sofa bed in the living room is plenty big. If there is not another couple, one can take the bunk and the other the bed in the second bedroom. Everyone has their own bed except for the 2 sharing the Master suite. I sailed on Epic with 5 adults and I was surprised how good it worked. Don't forget: 2 full bathrooms, 2 showers, etc. Don't lose out on the Haven perks. 6 adults now is getting too close for comfort.

MJSailors Posted April 13, 2019 #12 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Just a thought - how are your relationships or friendships ? Personally, I would not want to travel in close quarters if I was risking difficulties with family members or friends. I would choose the two balcony cabins or possibly book two smaller cabins in the Haven area ( not certain if that is available in the Haven category ). Whatever you decide, hope it will be a good cruise for you and your group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMH15 Posted April 13, 2019 #13 Share Posted April 13, 2019 (edited) Three or maybe 4 adults. That 5th? No way. A lot depends on the relationships. Who sleeps with who? the suite sleeps 6 if half are small kids. Edited April 13, 2019 by DMH15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are very good friends - we normally travel as 2 couples but one person couldn't get the time off work - so we might travel as 3 in a 2 bed again. With 4 we are traveling in 2 suites on the Gem It helps that 3rd adult has their own bathroom but there is very little storage in that room, not sure my things would have fit (I'm an over packer) but even my male friend commented about how little storage there was!

myjillian Posted April 14, 2019 #16 Share Posted April 14, 2019 I'm pretty sure it was on the Jewel but our suite was next to the 2 bed suite and when we were on our balcony but at night we could see into their bathtub area...if their light was on. The first time we noticed it I went next door to inform them...we had a good laugh and they kept the curtain closed at night....they gave us a tour of their 2 bed and said they just used the 2sd bed for the suitcases.

phillyguy31 Posted May 14, 2019 #18 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Depends on how much you already paid, we loved the 2 bedroom, but we had 3 kids. Different story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had 3 adults in a 2BR on the Star. I was alone in the 2nd BR and while I didn't feel cramped, some of my stuff migrated out into the livingroom area b/c it wouldn't all fit in the 2nd room storage :) I would totally do it again. As a single. I can not imagine sharing that room. Maybe with a SO, but even then, it would be pretty cramped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cb at sea Posted May 15, 2019 #23 Share Posted May 15, 2019 If there are couples involved, they will not want someone sleeping over them or beside them. I'd go for separate cabins. If you're college-aged and used to tight spaces, then it will be fine. I don't want to share with anyone but my hubby...ever. Even the kids would need their own space.
