Emerald Princess--Connecting cabin through one upper berth?

[cherrytwist]

Hello cruising experts! Dreaming of cruising in 2022 after our two would-be cruises were cancelled this year. I'm looking at the Emerald Princess, specifically at connecting cabins. On the deck plan for the Aloha deck, there are a number of cabins that say "1 upper berth connects" with next-door cabin. What does this mean? I'm imagining you would have to climb up on the upper berth and crawl through some kind of hole in the wall, but that seems kind of bizarre...anyone know?

I believe it's an absence of punctuation.  There is one upper berth, and the cabin connects with AXXX.

Yes.  This is it

Balcony cabin.

The connecting door is in the hall where you enter across from the closet/bathroom. The upper berth lowers from the ceiling against the closet wall. When the upper berth is in use the lower beds are in the twin configuration. The upper berth is stored back in the ceiling during the day.

If you do not need a connecting cabin suggest you select a cabin that is not connecting. You may hear some next door noise from a connecting cabin.

Haha ok, that makes much more sense. Thank you!

Thanks! We're actually looking for a connecting cabin. They're hard to find on some ships!
