danrenne1 Posted August 21, 2008 #1 Share Posted August 21, 2008 We will be sailing next month on the conquest with a 2 year old and a 6 month old. I think the 2 year old will be ok on the sofa bed turned the other way so she wont roll out but it sounds like it is going to be very croweded with a metal crib as well. I was looking at ordering a travel bed from one step ahead. What do you think? I also was going to bring a little pool for our balcony so the 6 month old could play in. Has anyone ever put it out on the balcony and what do you do to drain it? Scoop the water out with bucket, Iam guessing!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julienatul Posted August 21, 2008 #2 Share Posted August 21, 2008 It will be kind of tight with the crib but still ok. The crib will fit against the wall in between the bed and sofa. They wont remove the sofa from your room even when you have only one child in a crib so we are used to having the sofa and crib in our cabin. Its been fine each time. A few times we have actually lifted the crib onto the sofa to make more space for DD to play during the day and then put it back down fo naps/bedtime. We have never used the pool on the balcony, only on the lido deck where we just dump it down one of the pool drains. I guess the best way would be use buckets until you can lift it and drain it in the shower. Have a great cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitty9 Posted August 22, 2008 #3 Share Posted August 22, 2008 I'm not sure what you mean by turning the sofa bed around, but most of those sofas are attached to the floor and do not move. Call your TA or the cruise line to see if the sofa in your cabin can be moved or turned around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure about other cruise lines because DD was in a pack n play then and we didnt try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danrenne1 Posted August 30, 2008 Author #5 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Thanks for your replies, I orderd the bed and recieved it yesterday. I think this will work out perfect and we can also pack it up and take it to the beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusinmama06 Posted August 30, 2008 #6 Share Posted August 30, 2008 You can empty the pool in the tub (or shower) drain. If you don't bring a bucket to fill it up, then ask the bartender for a plastic bucket (they use them for the buckets of beer...lol) Just a few buckets is all you need. You don't want to dump it over the side of the balcony. :eek: :D lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
