mxschwartz Posted May 9, 2023 #1 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Hi! On NAVIGATOR OF THE SEAS this summer. We have a sofa bed in the room. Does it open up and fold out as a double? Or do you just sleep on it unopened like a twin? I can't figure it out. And how uncomfortable is it exactly? THANKS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barb in ga Posted May 9, 2023 #2 Share Posted May 9, 2023 The sofa bed opens out to make a bed. Go to you tube and search your ship and cabin number or go to cruisedeckplans dotcom to see photos or videos. Barb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may depend on whether you room holds 3 or 4. Royal has started doing rooms that hold 3 that they basically put a sheet on the sofa vs the room that holds 4 where the sofa pulls out to a double.

It says it's a three room occupancy......but the travel agent said it's a double sofa that converts into a bed so ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted May 9, 2023 #7 Share Posted May 9, 2023 If the couch doesn't fold out into a bed, it's a couch, not a sofa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way of knowing as Royal no longer lists type of bed configurations, one occupancy. Look for you tube videos for your room or other rooms that hold 3 in the same general area of the ship.

And Roysl is now putting a third guest in these cabins. It's a generic description that uses sofa bed and does not necessarily mean it pulls out.

Rare Scottdalfonso Posted May 10, 2023 #10 Share Posted May 10, 2023 This was a room for 3.... couch bed folded down into a pretty nice sized bed.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JupiterTwo Posted May 10, 2023 #11 Share Posted May 10, 2023 Some of them may be futons where the back of the couch slides down and pushes the seat out, rather than the cushions coming off and a bed pulls out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every cruise I have done in a regular stateroom (including Navigator) the "sofa bed" is a futon as described. The only time I have ever seen a true sofa bed where an actual bed folds out of the sofa is in suites. A sofa bed has to extend out much farther than a futon, so it would make the stateroom even tighter when opened. I didn't think the futon was very comfortable since you have a dip in the middle where the two pieces meet, and it doesn't have much cushioning, but I never slept on one and my kids never complained. I have also heard of triple occupancy rooms with a chair that converts to a bed, but I've never sailed in one of those rooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmmyFakh Posted September 16 #15 Share Posted September 16 I've been on the Navigator of the Seas, and the sofa bed in our room was a bit of a mystery too. From what I saw, it does open up and fold out into a double bed. It’s not the plushest option but works fine for a night or two. If you’re looking for something more comfortable, I found a great resource on wooden wardrobes – they had some nice pieces that might make your room feel cozier if you’re using the sofa bed a lot. On our trip, we just made do and it was okay for the short term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UPNYGuy Posted September 16 #16 Share Posted September 16 absolutely! A sofa bed is a bed that is in the sofa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom2two2 Posted September 17 #17 Share Posted September 17 We did 4 in a balcony cabin right before covid hit - had the main bed separated into 2 singles and the couch into a bed for 2 ppl. I will say that we had to specifically ask for the bed to be put as a couch each day and back to a bed each night, otherwise it would be left out as a bed. It could have just been our cabin but the pullout bed was very uncomfortable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare S.A.M.J.R. Posted September 17 #18 Share Posted September 17 This was the "sofa bed" for our July cruise on Harmony. If a 4th bed was needed, it was pulled out from below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
