Owner's Suite Deck 6 Midship question

[rosie2025]

My sister and I are taking our Trip of a Lifetime 4.0 in a year or so. We decided to go with the

Owner's Suite Deck 6 Midship on Star Pride for many reasons and are very much looking forward to the cruise.

The only issue is My sister and I dont want to sleep in the same room, they say someone snores 😉

We have been told there are no roll away beds on Windstar

 

Questions.. Below is a picture of the 'L' shaped couch in the living area , can it be split and turned around to make a wider sleeping space?

Or, is the couch comfortable enough to sleep on? It looks very narrow.

Thank you for your thoughts

It’s quite small. I wouldn’t want to sleep on it. If in your budget, you could book the next cabin over from the living area. The suites are adjoining.

Here's a visual showing the suggestion.  Welcome to Cruise Critic @rosie2025!

thank you for the quick responses!

We would rather not get the room next door.. wont work for us.

Think there is any chance the L shaped couch can be split and flipped together?

[oakridger]

I'm a bit surprised that the couch isn't a sofa bed in that huge suite.  Most large suites on ships I am familiar with (larger ships) do put sofa beds in their large special suites.  Maybe email Windstar and ask if it is a sofa bed.

 

It looks like such a gorgeous suite for your big cruise with your sister!  There must me a solution that Windstar can come up with!!

 

Please let us know what you are able to arrange.

I did sleep on the couch when my husband had Covid. Not a sofa bed and not the most comfortable but it worked for me. When I have wanted to travel with a friend I was told there was no way to have two separate beds in the owners suite.

I understand- just thought it would give the two separate sleeping rooms.

I would think there would be a "way" if they wanted to.  It doesn't seem like it would be difficult to move a single bed into the suite from an unoccupied cabin.  The beds in many of the other cabins split into two singles.  I wonder what the reason is for the pushback on having a rollaway bed or something.  Did they give you an explanation?  Maybe I'm missing something about the logistics.  I'm just curious why they don't want to accommodate the customer.

The snippet of deck plan that oakridger post shows the suite with an X designation. The X indicates a third berth. Have you or your agent called Windstar?

[Pudgesmom]

I assume a rollaway bed would be a problem as it could roll away as the ship rolls.

 

The third berth could be when adding the cabin next door. It’s also possible to book three in a row there for the grand owner’s suite.

The cabin next door wouldn't be a 3rd berth. It would add sleeping space for two. Also, the Deck Plan clearly has text saying Grand Owner's suites can be booked to get 2 or 3 bedroom suites listing the multiple suite numbers and separately has Owner's Suites 640 and 641 having 3 berths. The issue may be that that 3rd berth is in the bedroom and therefore won't help for avoiding snoring.

I doubt that they have any on board. The third berths are permanent installations in the rooms that have them. No reason to carry a rollaway.

MNgardens, thank you so much for pointing that out! And you have solved my problem! 🙂

Our travel agent called windstar and got this answer for us: "James at Windstar told me that they can convert cabin 641 sofa into a sofa bed as a 3rd berth."

Now we are working out details but I feel so much better!

Thanks again!

And many thanks for all the thoughts about our problem!

[oakridger]

Well Hooray!!  It sure seemed like something that Windstar could/should be able to resolve.  I imagine that there have been quite a few guests that wanted to use that third berth in the beautiful large Owner's suite!  Kudos to @MNgardens for noticing the X on the deck plan!

 

I just noticed this on the Owner's Suite deck plan diagram key also, which explains why the main bed couldn't be moved:

 

"• One Queen Size Bed Only (No Twin Option)"

 

I wish you and your sister a wonderful cruise and pleasant sleeps on board!
