Too much furniture?

Looking at the room plans and videos of the Haven 2 bedroom family villa, it seems like there is just too much furniture in the living room.

 

We are traveling with our 2 children plus a nanny. I am not quite sure where everyone will sleep yet, but it is possible that someone may be sleeping in the living room.

 

Is there anyway to ask the cabin steward to take out an extra side chair or coffee table?

The worse that can happen is you ask and they say no. If you think the room is going to be too crowded have you thought about a Studio room for the babysitter?

 

If they did that, the nanny would not have access to the Haven or amenities there. I'd imagine the family would want the nanny close by to help out with the kids at the pool, meals, etc.

 

 

The room will probably be fine with the furniture, with the exception, maybe, during the night when the bed is out. Since everybody is likely sleeping at that point anyway, it's probably a very small issue.

How old are your children? In our H4 we could have slept 2 small children in the fold out bed in bedroom #2 plus one in the drop down bunk above. Our teen daughter slept on the couch/bed in the living room and there was plenty of room. We did not feel as though the furniture got in the way. You can move the pieces around. Good luck planning! 0cdc23b0192753397bac1a070e73244e.jpgb2cd16f5aebc518acefaa74db2bf72d8.jpg

Our kids will be 2.99999 :D and 6 at time of sailing.

 

Don't trust the 2 year old in the upper bunk, not sure about 6 year old.

 

 

 

Would they both sleep together in the double bed? The couch in the living room is a single.

When deploying the bedding for the evening - too much furniture ask the cabin attendant for alternate solutions !

Perhaps placing some of it out on a balcony - removing some of it to a crew storage area.

Find out what can be done - make the best decision from what is available.

 

P.S. solution to the wee ones perhaps not needing a bed - bring along a sleeping bag - camping at sea can be

an awaking development for youngsters. Engage the cabin steward for exciting ideas of camping at sea !

The upper bunks do have guard rails on them. I think that the 6 year old could be ok with it.

 

However the camping idea sounds like lots of fun.

 

 

Camping at sea, I dont have kids but I wondering if the wife would be willing to camp out. ;p
