What exactly is the SOFABED

[Donna - dsw]

We are sailing on the Glory in Sept. in room 7375 - I was told this was a sofa bed that also folds out to a single. I was told the room steward will make it up / down every day.

 

Please let me know is anyone knows differet.

 

Thanks!

The sales rep actually looked up our room number and said that yes it is a sofabed which is a bed that folds out from the couch.

 

Never seen a Sofa Bed that folds out. They just remove the 2 back cushions and they go on the floor. They make the bed up and keep it made up the rest of the cruise.

 

My Sister-in-law slept well, never a complaint.

 

Read post number 19, Sandi149 posted: Also, there are drawers under it for extra storage. Its not a pull out, its drawers.

When we sailed on the Ecstasy in a Cat 12, the bed actually pulled out from the sofa (it was a sectional sofa)

Hmmm. Thanks for posting. This is a different style than what has mostly been reported. Ecstasy is a refurb'd fantasy class ship (I think)

 

What was the comfort of this pull out sectional type of sofabed?

I had to look through some saved files, but here is a picture of our sofa bed made up from the Inspiration in May 2006. Don't know if the refurb will change these, but I believe this is typical.

Quite comfy and they made it up with the new CCL bedding...duvet, etc. The only issue was that once it was out, it was out for the whole cruise because I guess it was a real pain to fold back up everyday and apparently there was some special tool needed. Not too bad because even with the extra bed out, still plenty of room along with the divider curtain.

 

Yes, Ecstasy has been refurbished as part of the post-Katrina housing effort. The rooms look great and we were surprised by the size of the cat 12 on that ship

Thank you for the pic.

The sofa doesn't really convert into a bed....the steward puts sheets and blankets on it and voila! a single bed. My gd preferred it on Liberty. She said it was very comfortable.

 

It will be comfortable for a child or a very light adult. When we travel as only two, we find we wind up using that piece of furniture to pile all of our junk on.

 

As I'm sure with many others, we try to maintain a modicum of neatness in our cabin, but by around day 3 it becomes a lost cause. The sofa bed then becomes an all purpose area for all of the flyers, brochures, travel guides, damp bathing suits, T-shirts that might pass for one more wearing, etc.

 

At home, our stationary bike serves the same purpose. :-)

Our confirmation for a Cat 11 suite on the Elation said it had a "sofa bed". But it looked NOTHING like pictures on this post. It was a settee. No cushions came off the back. You would have to be under 5 ft to fit and it was not comfortable like the beds pictured above.

The sofa in the suites on the fantasy class ships are so completly different from any other class of ship.

 

The above photo of the sofa bed will be whats in most cabins.

 

But not all sofas convert into a sofa-- some are smaller lovetype sofa.

Thanks Serene! We are on the Conquest in 12 days, I hope this is our set-up.

You can check the deck plans and read the legend of symbols to the exact bedding in the cabin.

 

You will be looking for square in the cabin number which will denote 2 beds on the floor and an upper bed with a covertible sofa bed.

Serene help please! So...in a Cat12 on Sensation...what kind of sofa bed will be in there? Good enough for two SMALL children to sleep in? Or will we have to bring another bed in?

 

We have 2 Cat 12's side by side and both of us have 2 young kids in each family. So I wanna know what we will be getting into.

 

THANKS!

Thanks for the updated info. Not sure how to really tell in advance for anything other than Fantasy class ships and people with first hand experiences that have replied to the thread.

Appreciate the info/photos .
