Yeah, it’s really too bad that Celebrity uses this trundle bed design in some of their ships. It’s seems like an awful design.

We’ve already found several. We’re doing a transatlantic/repositioning cruise. They run 12ish-22ish days.

We looked at a suite or 2 rooms, but we can’t afford it. Even if we could, I don’t think we would choose to do 2 rooms. We like having all four of us in the room together. It allows for more family time. Even though we might each be doing our own thing, we’re still together and occasionally someone will go “hey, listen to this…” and tell us about something they just read/saw. We’ll discuss it for a bit and then go back to our own thing. We also don’t mind the small space (we regularly camp or stay in small cabins). We’re just worried that the pull out bed will take up most of the walking space and we’ll be scooting around things and getting frustrated.

My family of 4 (me, husband, 2 teen girls) are looking to go on a Celebrity cruise. We were surprised to see that some of the rooms have pull out trundle sofa beds, rather than bunkbeds. This looks like a terrible set up to us. We feel like this trundle bed set up would take up a lot of space in the room, making it difficult to walk around and making the room feel much more crowded. From what I read, the steward is supposed to make up the two beds each morning and tuck them away, but we are not really fond of this option. I know some people are never in their room, but our family enjoys spending time in the room. On our last cruise, we spent about half of our day in our room with the balcony door open enjoying the sites and sounds. Because of this, we liked the fact that the kids beds were always opened. They would each get on their beds and just chill out or read or take a nap. We are looking at doing a 2 to 3 week cruise, so we want to make sure the cabin is extra comfortable. I feel like the pullout sofa bed would be more of a frustration and make the trip less enjoyable. Has anyone here had four people in one of these rooms with the pullout sofa bed? What was your experience? What are your thoughts? From what I explained about what our family likes, would you recommend one of these rooms or recommend choosing a ship with traditional bunkbeds?
