Bed Arrangement Choice???

[teacherman]

In making a reservation for a balcony cabin on the Jade, it ask what our bed choice is:  a sofa or lower convertible.  What does this mean?  We just want the 2 beds together to form a queen size.  This is our first NCL cruise.

That reference will be to the bed for a third passenger. The first two people will have two beds, pushed together by default.

2 beds together to form a queen size is the standard configuration for rooms. Enjoy the Jade and enjoy NCL!

To speed the turn-around of the ship the last position

of the bed arrangement may be left in place.

 

So you have come aboard and the beds are separated -

See your cabin attendant or leave a message with

Guest Services to have the beds joined -

This may not be done immediately but certainly by

early evening turn-down-service.

This takes less than 10 minutes to do.

 

You might want to check out the deck floor plan of

your cabin - location of the queen bed -

be it -

next to the balcony or

more inner located near the bathroom and entry door.

 

Look at the cabin floor plans and any guest photos/videos

to get an idea of the layout that appeals best to you.

All the floor plans are for the most part a cookie cutter

same ole same ole square footage design -

alternating mirror images.

 

Not for your concern as a couple -

that third bed is made out of the couch and the fourth

a fold out of the wall pullman on some but not all ships.

for the benefits of quietness - easy access to elevators

stairways - dining - theatre - avoid cabins under or over

entertainment areas galleys restaurants etc.

 

Questions the members here have the answers !

We have been on many cruises, just not on NCL.  I chose a stateroom with other cabins both above and below.  Since the rooms are "mirrored" of each other, where do I find information on whether the bed is near to the balcony or away from it?

Sorry for the above question.  I guess i am "lazy" this morning.  I have just managed to find photos and a video tour of our stateroom.  It just looks a little small compared to other rooms we have had on different cruise lines, but we selected this cruise for the itinerary of South Africa.  It is still 9 months away, so I hope we will be able to do it.  Thank you for all of your responses.

This isn't relevant for the Jade (except for a very small number of rooms which may have a different setup). The alternating rooms with the bed near the balcony or near the door started with the Epic.

 

A standard room on the Jade will have the sofa between the bed and the balcony.
