Setting up the sofa bed on the ship

[danny6514]

We currently have two rooms booked on our upcoming cruise on the Getaway. My brother in the other room is worried that our dad's snore is going to be overwhelming and asked if it's possible to set up the sofa bed in our room should that become necessary. Does anyone know if this is possible?

Do you have a balcony cabin, I assume yes as the inside cabins don't have sofas. But I see no problem with that at all, the sofa is always a sofa bed (that I know of). You would just need to ask your room steward to make it up for you, I'm sure they would.

If your dad snores that bad -has he been checked for sleep apnea -a cpap machine would take care of that

If you have the sofa bed set up, make sure to ask for a mattress topper. It makes a huge difference in the comfort level of the sofa bed.

Apparently 4 out of 10 men snore ... first night your brother spends in your cabin could be interesting :(

I am not really sure that shoving dad on the sofa would make a big difference. It would maybe move him an additional 5 feet from his original bed. The standard room are only about 150 sq feet. When the sofa bed is extended the room is literally wall to wall bed.

 

Here is the room with two beds with the sofa in the background. If you really think those additional few feet will make a difference then by all means go for it and ask for the sofa being made up. This isn't like a traditional room where the lounge/sitting area is significantly away from the sleeping quarters.

Ear plugs can help

OP said they have 2 rooms booked and are asking about the brother leaving the room dad is in and coming into their room on the sofa bed if the snoring gets too bad.

That photo can't be of the Getaway. Also, is the balcony cabin a double or triple? Some of the BC balcony cabins on GA are doubles so I assume that means that the sofa doesn't convert to a sofabed.

I agree, that photo is not a photo of a Getaway room. There should be a sofa in a balcony cabin. Just ask your cabin steward to make up the sofa bed. It shouldn't be a problem at all.

Not sure about the sofa bed, but tell your brother to bring ear plugs. My DH rarely snores, but I always have earplugs when I travel for any possible scenario where there is unwanted noise. Problem solved.

Even with that additional information and yes my picture is not of the same ship but the room size is the same and when you pull out the sofa the room is literally all bed. If three adults want to sleep like that then great.

I'm not sure if you are fully understanding OP's situation? OP and family have two rooms booked. OP is in one of the rooms with another family member. In the other room, there is OP's dad and brother. OP's brother says that dad snores so wants to sleep on the couch of OP's room.

 

Yes, when the couch is made into a bed, there isn't much room left in the room for walking around. But even when the couch is made into a couch, there isn't much room for walking around. It's not a luxurious suite like on land. It's a balcony cabin on a cruise ship.

 

There are only two choices here for OP's brother: 1) sleep on pull out sofa bed, or 2) suffer through the snoring of dad. If the snoring is that loud that it would be disruptive, I'd take sleeping on a sofa bed in another room any day.
