Lilly-Ann Posted January 18, 2022 #1 Share Posted January 18, 2022 We are booked in February for a balcony room and our room was changes. I was told it has a bunk on the wall above the couch. It is just two of us. I was wondering if we would have a huge loss of space. Can anyone advise please? I looked on Halfacts and couldn't find anything. Thanks!

A large number the balcony cabins are triples in which the small sofa next to the bed folds out into a twin bed. The quad rooms have the sofa bed plus a flush mount pullman bed that pulls down from the ceiling directly above the main bed. Since you won't have a need to use that pullman bed, it stays flush mounted to the ceiling and you won't lose an ounce of space. All you will see is a flush mount panel in the ceiling in the outline of a twin bed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotterdam Cabin # VD7046 Did someone specifically tell you VD7046 has a 4th bed? In the following deck plan link, Rotterdam cabin VD7046 shows as being a triple cabin, not a quad. https://www.*****.com/deck_plans/cruise_ships/rotterdam_cruises HAL's deck plans use a small circle in a cabin graphic to indicate 2 lowers (2 twins you can ask to be made into a queen) and 1 sofa that converts to a single bed. A quad has a small square in the cabin graphic, indicating 2 lowers, 1 sofa bed, plus 1 upper (the pull down Pullman twin bed mounted in the ceiling. Cabins with neither symbol should have a sofa that does not convert to a bed. Rotterdam cabin 7046 shows a small circle meaning you should have a triple room consisting of the 2 lowers and the sofa. If you are still concerned about room space, the bed has lots of room underneath to store 2-3 large suitcases plus it has two large drawers under the front edge of the bed. A lot of people apparently don't know those drawers are there because the drawers are somewhat hidden by the bed comforter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was so nice when I spoke to her on the phone. She even explained to me how it would be, maybe it had just been a long day for her and she made a mistake. I know they are getting tons of calls right now. Thanks so much for all the good info. I was worried about the bed on the wall. Worry is gone. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, even if you have a quad, you won't even know you have the extra bed other than seeing the outline in the ceiling. Enjoy your cabin!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
