yorkiemomjn Posted February 6, 2010 #1 Share Posted February 6, 2010 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!

Marebear Posted February 6, 2010 #2 Share Posted February 6, 2010 You're correct. But the twins are narrow but very comfortable and they do get pushed together to make a queen size bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbwex Posted February 7, 2010 #3 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Ours was made up as a queen without our asking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marebear Posted February 7, 2010 #4 Share Posted February 7, 2010 I was traveling with a friend and we asked that they be made up as twins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorkiemomjn Posted February 7, 2010 Author #5 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Ours was made up as a queen without our asking. 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.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!! - Grace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted February 8, 2010 #7 Share Posted February 8, 2010 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 Lyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanandJim Posted February 8, 2010 #8 Share Posted February 8, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tropicalkerry2002 Posted February 9, 2010 #9 Share Posted February 9, 2010 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hezzy Posted February 9, 2010 #10 Share Posted February 9, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hondorner Posted February 9, 2010 #12 Share Posted February 9, 2010 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.
