Mr and Mrs C Posted December 8, 2015 #1 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Does anyone know if the couch in a balcony room can sleep 2? My daughter and niece have done it before on other ncl shipsm but we have not been on the gem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkelly8646 Posted December 8, 2015 #2 Share Posted December 8, 2015 It's more of a love seat (seats two) - there are photos on the NCL site of the love seat - guessing about 4 feet wide so it will be tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sparks1093 Posted December 8, 2015 #3 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Does anyone know if the couch in a balcony room can sleep 2? My daughter and niece have done it before on other ncl shipsm but we have not been on the gem. The couch in our balcony cabin did not look like it was big enough to sleep two since it was no wider than a twin sized bed (and I'm not sure that it even folded out into a bed). As I understand it if a cabin is designed for 3 or 4 passengers there will be a pullman bed and the couch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got Tequila? Posted December 8, 2015 #4 Share Posted December 8, 2015 (edited) https://www.ncl.com/cruise-ship/gem/staterooms/Balcony There are some balcony cabins (B1 and B2) where the 3rd and 4th guest do share the sleeper sofa, and some have the pullman bunk for the 4th guest. Check out the link above for the category you have booked. Edited December 8, 2015 by Got Tequila? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mizLORInj Posted December 8, 2015 #6 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Gem's minisuite couch is larger and can be made into a bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstprincesscruise Posted December 8, 2015 #7 Share Posted December 8, 2015 The couch does fold out to be a bed but it will only sleep 2. As someone above stated it is only about as wide as a twin bed. The 4th would be a bunk. When she couch is folded out as a bed it also blocks the door to the balcony. You would have to sit on the end of the bed and swing your legs over the side to get out onto the balcony. Very tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachys Posted December 8, 2015 #8 Share Posted December 8, 2015 We stayed in Gem balcony. It would sleep two kids, not two teens or adults. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valen9 Posted December 9, 2015 #9 Share Posted December 9, 2015 There are balcony cabins on Gem that sleep 4. When you book 4, the steward lowers the 4th bed from the ceiling above the pull-out couch. The couch would not sleep 2 unless they were both small children. It's a twin-size bed.

Rare mking8288 Posted December 9, 2015 #10 Share Posted December 9, 2015 The following linked photo is from the Jewel - which is practically identical to the GEM, on the size of the pullout sofa in the regular/standard balcony - padding is thin & as others said, just fine for 2 small, small children. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/64025118/NCL%20Cruising%20-%20General/SDC8070.JPG It's wall-to-wall bedding, the 4th person will have a pullman bed that drop down from the ceiling.

txagfan Posted December 9, 2015 #11 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Does anyone have a picture of this bed in the ceiling? I don't think our room had this, would have been nice as the couch when used as a bed took over the room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmc86 Posted December 9, 2015 #12 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Gem mini suite couch definitely good for 2 adults and was surprisingly very comfortable.... In a balcony room, fold out bed does block access to balcony. Cabin steward tried just making bed and leaving it open but we asked him to fold it up each day- no Problem...

plum24 Posted December 9, 2015 #13 Share Posted December 9, 2015 In the Gem mini-suite, is there a bed that comes down from the ceiling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mking8288 Posted December 9, 2015 #14 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Here's CC link to a post 2 years ago, with photos by SDMIKE - of the GEM's minisuite, the sofa bed is wider with room to get around. There's also a picture of the ceiling drop-down bed for a regular balcony, directly over the extended loveseat sofa. Quite a challenge with 4 inside & using the balcony at times.
