SuzieQ64 Posted May 4, 2014 #1 Share Posted May 4, 2014 We are booked in this cabin for an upcoming trip June 2014 and wanted to get some more feedback from others who have stayed here. I have read some reviews and it seemed mostly positive. We booked last minute and were trying to stay within a budget so this cabin fit the criteria. However, we realize it's not ideal for a married couple. We were aware of this beforehand. Hope it all works out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady_cruiser Posted May 4, 2014 #2 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Shove the beds together, bring bungee cords and tie them around the legs so the beds doesn't separate. Then ask your cabin attendant for sheets that will fit the two beds together; double, queen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuzieQ64 Posted May 4, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted May 4, 2014 That sounds like it could work! Thanks so much for the idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k2excursion Posted May 5, 2014 #4 Share Posted May 5, 2014 We stayed in room 2217, exact same cabin on the other side of the ship. And I was in 2216 on Triumph. They are great rooms. Portholes & a larger room for cheaper than a regular interior. You will hear the waves hitting the front of the ship, which doesn't bother me. There will be some motion, which was also pretty consistent, except when coming into or leaving port. But I'm awake or need to be awake then anyway. It's a very convenient location for getting off/on the ship, & for the theater & other nighttime entertainment. If you can climb a couple sets of stairs, you'll never need elevators when they are the busiest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuzieQ64 Posted May 5, 2014 Author #5 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Oh good! Thanks so much! That sounds similar to the other things I've read and heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGP1111 Posted May 5, 2014 #6 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Shove the beds together, bring bungee cords and tie them around the legs so the beds doesn't separate. Then ask your cabin attendant for sheets that will fit the two beds together; double, queen? Only one bed (twin), plus a sofa that is a different height than the bed. .

SuzieQ64 Posted May 6, 2014 Author #7 Share Posted May 6, 2014 (edited) Thanks so much. May I ask what the sofa bed was like? Were you traveling alone or did someone actually use the sofa bed? I'm excited that it has portholes too! Edited May 6, 2014 by SuzieQ64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fofita01 Posted May 6, 2014 #8 Share Posted May 6, 2014 This is what 2216 looks like on the Glory (and other Conquest Class, Triumph/Victory, and Dream Class) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuzieQ64 Posted May 6, 2014 Author #10 Share Posted May 6, 2014 That's great! The room looks a little more spacious than a regular inside cabin. It must be the shape of the room idk. The sofa bed looks basically like another twin when it's made up. I appreciate the photos! Have a great time on your future cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaron3219 Posted May 6, 2014 #11 Share Posted May 6, 2014 That room is identical almost to the 1172 cabin we had on Pride. Only difference I see in the pictures is we had a full sized window. And we had 2 twins pushed together with one set of blankets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luv2trvlnow Posted May 6, 2014 #13 Share Posted May 6, 2014 (edited) I was in 2217 on the Dream and slept on the sofa bed. If you like firm beds then it will be to your liking. I don't, but I was still able to get enough sleep. I have attached a picture of our cabin 2217 and our collection of towel animals in the porthole area.

SuzieQ64 Posted May 6, 2014 Author #14 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Thanks y'all! The pictures all make me feel like we made the right choice with this cabin. We were a little worried about having the twin and sofa sleeper. Got a great deal though at the last minute so we are excited! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm excited that it has portholes too! I have no idea why I said only 1 bed. We had twin beds and my sister was with me. I guess I had too much coffee.

We stayed in these other porthole room types on other ships and those you can actually put the 2 beds together as a queen. On other ships they even have portholes that can hold 4.

SuzieQ64 Posted May 8, 2014 Author #20 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Yeah those other cabins were already booked so we went with 2216. I had read a lot about it beforehand so I felt it would work for us. Also there were some OBC incentives that made it a better deal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klaner64 Posted May 8, 2014 #21 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Hopefully you will be enjoying the ports and ship and won't spend much time in your room anyway. Maybe if you're both thin you could squeeze into one bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okgirl Posted May 8, 2014 #22 Share Posted May 8, 2014 We love these cabins. My sister and I trade off each cruise who sleeps on the sofa bed but they are both comfy. I love all the extra floor space and the light from the portholes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuzieQ64 Posted May 9, 2014 Author #23 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Thanks, I think it's going to work out fine. It will be nice to have the portholes too because we've always just been inside with no windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
