bermuda lover Posted June 6, 2011 #1 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Hi everyone, I am looking for someone who stayed in an aft suite, especially 10728. As this used to be a room for 2; now it is for 4. I am looking for anyone that could give me any information on the accomondations for 4 people. We are a family of 4 (two teen boys) and I am concerned of the bed situation. I do know that the couch is supposed to pull out to be a full size bed. Wondering comfort as well. thanks Lisa;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiftyguy Posted June 6, 2011 #2 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Hi Lisa, I don't want to be the bearer of bad news, but I don't think it would be a great cabin for 4. My wife and I stayed in 10728 this past March. We love the room and aft cabins are the best (huge balcony), but I think 4 would be crowded. I'm guessing during the dry dock they changed the sofa so they could list it for 4. The sofa we had was a two seater. The suite used to be classified as a Romance Suite, which to me means for 2. So this is one persons opinion - I wouldn't do it. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiftyguy Posted June 6, 2011 #3 Share Posted June 6, 2011 By the way if you go to the "search this forum" feature (top left) and enter "dawn 10728" you will see other threads about this suite and some have pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(May 27 through June 3rd) There is NOT a pull out sofa in this suite and there is NOT a drop down Pullman style berth. I don't know how you could possibly fit 4 in this suite. I would suggest the 2 bedroom SC suites on deck 11. They have a separate small bedroom and a second bath. This should work much better for parents and two teens.

2inTul Posted June 6, 2011 #5 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Here is a pic from last week. The small settee is not a pullout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiftyguy Posted June 6, 2011 #6 Share Posted June 6, 2011 2intul - WOW they didn't even change the sofa. How can they go from 2 to 4 passengers? Where would the extra 2 sleep - the balcony? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be my guess. I know I fell asleep out there several times. :rolleyes: Seriously, there would not be room for four regardless of how you arrange them. I suppose you could have two roll-aways but it would be wall to wall beds. Not fun! :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
time2cruise1 Posted June 6, 2011 #8 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Here is a pic from last week. The small settee is not a pullout. Same one that has been there for a long time. I know they now say up to 4 in SFs but I wonder if it s only a few. It would be interesting to try and complete an online booking for this cabin with 4 passengers. Bet it will not go thru.

Wow, I was told they would have a double sleeper sofa in there. I have this booked for next May. It will be my DH, myself, and our two DD's. I wonder if they are still not done with the updating of the rooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have already paid my final pmt and I am going the end of July and I was told by my TA that this would fit 4 people and in fact, we were able to pull up this with the reservation. What would happen if we can't fit 4 of us in this cabin on sailing!!!!! Lisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The customer person from NCL assured me that this room and all of the aft suites are made for 4 people and that it was against the law to state otherwise. She also stated that it was a double sofa bed. So I am not sure, I guess we will have to wait to find out. Lisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medicalma'am Posted June 8, 2011 #15 Share Posted June 8, 2011 How big is the bathroom in this suite? Is it configured like regular balconies, or does it have two sinks and more space? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiftyguy Posted June 8, 2011 #16 Share Posted June 8, 2011 You open the bathroom door and see a single sink straight ahead. To your left would be the toilet with a door and to your right would be a shower/tub combo. There's a sit-down vanity outside the bathroom.

time2cruise1 Posted June 8, 2011 #17 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Here is a pic from last week. The small settee is not a pullout. Looks exactly like the love seat from last year that was not a sleeper. I tried booking 4 into the cabin and it let me. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be in 10226 in August with three people in the room. Like you said we will just have to wait and see.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way to fit four people would be by using roll-aways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

time2cruise1 Posted June 8, 2011 #23 Share Posted June 8, 2011 I have to believe the sofa beds are onboard and they are changing them out on turn around day as needed. That is what the did for the ABs and CV on the other ships. It would only take about 15 minutes to do that. No question it had not been done yet last week.

fiftyguy Posted June 8, 2011 #24 Share Posted June 8, 2011 time2cruise1 - where do you think they would put the sofa? Maybe switch postions with the "dining" table? I don't think the new one could go where the current sofa is placed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the new one could go where the current sofa is placed. Your guess is as good as mine. If they put it on the other wall it becomes climb over the bed to get to the balcony. They have about an extra foot where it is. Maybe one of the doubles like the inside bedroom in the CV/AB would fit? Or an Epic CV bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
