jayfurr Posted June 29, 2018 #1 Share Posted June 29, 2018 My wife and I are cruising Scandinavia aboard the Norwegian Breakway in August. Our cabin has two double beds that can be pushed together to be a queen bed. In the past, I've never said a thing beforehand and the cruise line has always configured the room as a queen, but my wife says she'd really rather have the beds separate since we each toss and turn in our own special personal ways. Does anyone know how to indicate that you want the beds and covers and stuff separate instead of together? I don't see anything on the NCL website, but perhaps I'm just looking in the wrong place. Thanks in advance for any help you can give. Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two Wheels Only Posted June 29, 2018 #2 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Just tell the room steward or leave a note. It will be done before bedtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RD29P5 Posted June 29, 2018 #3 Share Posted June 29, 2018 I don't think it works out to two doubles when you separate them. Maybe two slightly undersized twins to make a queen sized? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct. 2 standard twin beds would make up a king, so they would be undersized twins Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gershep Posted June 29, 2018 #5 Share Posted June 29, 2018 We leave a note for the room steward. When he/she does the turn down service they separate the beds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance for any help you can give. Jay You can also call NCL and put in a request for the beds to be separated and that will be added to your cruise information or if you have worked with a TA they can do that for you. Advance notice is helpful to the cabin Steward - it allows him to make up the beds correctly from the start of your trip. There are times when embarkation day can be very hectic for the staff and when you leave a note it's possible that he/she may not have a opportunity to make the needed change until the following day. My husband now uses a BiPAP machine and we always have the beds separated to allow for the maximum flexibility as to where he runs an extension cord. It can vary greatly from ship to ship and cabin type. As an FYI we are not small people and have not had issues with the size of the beds when separated.

Rare mking8288 Posted June 29, 2018 #8 Share Posted June 29, 2018 You can call into NCL and inform them, to make a note for your RS, on how you wish the beds to be setup ... easy & it take a minute for them to do it, once you get thru if there's a long queue for the "next" available agent. On our last few cruises booked direct, they've usually asked us about our preference, special needs, diet, or other matters that they can "note" in their system.

In total agreement - for at least the past three years of cruising we have had that preference indicated in their system and the beds were already set up as requested when the cabins became available on embarkation day.

That is very true. And usually, when you get to in bed the beds are not quite all the way together, you can feel the split in the beds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
