Saylor Posted February 27, 2023 Report Share Posted February 27, 2023 We booked our upcoming vacation on Mariner of the Seas with a balcony room for my husband and I plus our 2 adult sons. I assumed there was a drop down bed (we had it on Disney Dream before), but now I've learned that there is only a king and full size bed in room 7628. I'd love some helpful advice--will my sons be uncomfortable? Can I fit a twin blowup in there? Has anyone been in that room? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted February 27, 2023 Report Share Posted February 27, 2023 Adult kids? If it were me, I'd get a second room and move them in there. I'm also not the "lets go camping" or "I can sleep on your couch for a week" kind of guy, so it's entirely possible I'm not the best judge of comfort. Maybe @JennaRCB has a better idea.

Traveling Mike Posted February 27, 2023 Report Share Posted February 27, 2023 You might want to check with your travel agent or RCL. I see that cabin only holds 3 people but when I look on the RCL site it states it hold 4 people. The ship is going into dry dock and they might be changing the cabin layout.

vjoe Posted February 27, 2023 Report Share Posted February 27, 2023 Just because 4 people could actually fit in the room...This is a terrible idea!!! What time do you go to bed versus what time and how loud will be 2 boys entering and falling over your bed when they enter the room. The boys need a separate interior room, let them see the ocean from the pool deck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traveling Mike Posted February 28, 2023 Report Share Posted February 28, 2023 @Saylor don't feel bad about having 4 adults in a room. I travel solo most of the time but would not hesitate to bunk with 3 other adults. The cabin is there to sleep and shower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saylor Posted February 28, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2023 I don't mind them being in the room, I just do not want them to be uncomfortable and arguing with each other about space and waking me up-lol. It is nearly $2500 to get another interior room. I booked royal because they are cheaper than Disney so I do not want to pay more. I guess I'm stuck. If I thought a blow up bed would fit though I'd take it just in case they start getting frustrated with each other. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeRriii Posted February 28, 2023 Report Share Posted February 28, 2023 If I go vacation, I want at bare minimum have comfortable and quality sleep like I sleep on my bed at home. 4 adults in non suite stateroom is a BIG NO for me.

Saylor Posted February 28, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2023 I worry about it as well-comfort is important--wish I had a solution that didn't cost so much. If I had known when I booked I would have chosen a different room, but now the price has increased sooo much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously it might make walking around a little dicey at night but looks like it MAY work. Saylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonCruiser Posted February 28, 2023 Report Share Posted February 28, 2023 A potential other option: if you and your hubby are okay snuggling on a full size mattress, the king can be split into two twins which the boys could use.

Since we are paying for the trip we definitely want to be just a little selfish and be comfy but we will see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazon has numerous blow-up camping mattresses/pads that roll up very small for easy packing. I just purchased one myself to use on the bed for our cruise this Friday. Sometimes the mattresses on the ships are uncomfortable to me. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
