Question about Beds

[yorkiemomjn]

This is our first O cruise and it states we have a choice of a queen or two twin beds. Do they just push the two twins together if you choose a queen bed and have them separated if you choose two twins? I thought two twins together was a king size bed.

 

Thank you!

You're correct. But the twins are narrow but very comfortable and they do get pushed together to make a queen size bed.

Ours was made up as a queen without our asking.

I was traveling with a friend and we asked that they be made up as twins.

Yes, our documents state that all beds will automatically be configured as queen size unless otherwise requested prior to departure. I was just a little confused because usually two twins pushed together equals a king size. But Marebear said they are very narrow twins. Hopefully, they put something between them to fill in the gap.:)

Each bed is 30" wide and when put together, it makes a 60" wide queen size bed. We have never felt or experienced the division between the two beds on any cruise line we have travelled with.

Sleep well!!

The only problem we had with the gap was on Princess ...one bed was higher than the other.

If you have a problem speak to housekeeping I am sure they must have a fix

My friend Lyn is correct, as always. There is a, I believe that the technical word for it would be contraption, which straps the two mattreses together, and fills in the gap.

<--lol, I just learned that it is called a converter.

In the event that that fix does not make you happy, the ship carries a limited number of single mattresses which will cover the two box springs.

 

In response to your "king versus queen" question, I believe that the narrower twin beds convert to a queen in all staterooms up to a Penthouse, on all four ships.

In Oceania, Vista & Owners Suites, two regulation sized twin beds may convert into a true king sized bed.

I happened to have a tape measure on our last cruise, and measured the bed...it was 66" wide. I had THOUGHT, on our first O cruise, that it was wider than a queen(60), but knew it wasn't a king, which we have at home. Now I know!

On our cruise, the bed was made as a queen. I am a light sleeper and prone to be uncomfortable (if it is not a good bed) and my husband is 6' 4". The bed on Insignia was GREAT. No problems what so ever. We both slept very well. I thought the bed was very comfortable

That is great to hear! We are kind of spoiled by our king size Tempurpedic. :)

And, we're spoiled by our king size Sleep Number bed, to the point where we were dismayed by our beds in a Sky suite on Celebrity Mercury (I said too soft, and Betsy said too hard), but we have always been comfortable in the Oceania bed.
