Sleeping on the couch

[Gin-soaked bar-room queen]

Has anyone here ever slept on the couch? Do they add some sort of topper or mattress? Is it comfortable??

Only when I have been bad.

My friend slept on the one in a 1A. It is firmer but she said she didnt mind.

I slept on it before. Well technically, the underside was a mattress and it flipped over into a bed. No complaints. Other than sleeping in a room with 3 people not being very fun.

The beds on Mardi Gras are hard. I mean rock hard. I slept on the sofa every night and I didn't ask the steward to convert it (sheets and extra comforter are usually in the closet or in the drawers under the sofa ships pre Mardi Gras). I slept on the sofa part and slept well. But they make sofa beds out of them, like if you have a sofa bed at your house that converts into a bed.

I thought this was a thread about planning ahead for a possible domestic disagreement.

Are you sure it wasn't in Niagara Falls? (Old comedy reference, see The Three Stooges among others)

If your handle is any indicator, you'll sleep fine! You can sleep anywhere with enough gin/booze lol. A lounger on deck has sufficed for many, a couch would be an upgrade. 

 

On a serious note, I would double check moving people around for more cabins. Rates seem to be best for two to a cabin. Right now it might be smart to maximize the number of cabins and spread out. Two cabins with two each is cheaper than one with four. Worth looking into IMO.

I like a soft mattress but I thought our bed on Mardi Gras was pretty comfortable.  Nothing has beat the bed we had on Magic though, that one was awesome.  🙂

Everyone who went on our Panorama trip complimented the beds. I was quite surprised how everyone mentioned how well they slept and how comfortable the mattresses were.

The beds are more comfortable. Couch is super firm. I believe most if not all rooms on exterior of ship (IE balcony, havana cabana, etc..) will have a couch that converts to bed. A few rooms will have one drop down to fit a fourth person, but if you have 3 people they may not allow you to book those rooms. Researched this for a while to figure it out 🙂  Luckily I have at least one of the four of us willing to make do with the couch bed so we can have a balcony!

I've slept on the couch -- turned into a bed by the steward for the duration of the cruise -- on a few cruises and had no problems with it.  I slept about as well as I have in a regular Carnival split-bed.  (My two married cruise-friends had first dibs on the regular bed, of course.)  

 

I'm not sure why, but I never seem to sleep as well on Royal, but I get good sleep on Carnival.  Is it the bedding?  The pillow?   I dunno, but it's been consistent across ships.
