Family of 4 on Anthem balcony cabin HELP!

[Drummer72]

although we have been on several cruises previously. We are thinking about a last minute booking on the Anthem. I just read the ship does not have a pullman. And the couch will accommodate 2 people.

 

We are a family of 4, my boys are 12 & 14. Anyone out there have any pros or cons to the bedding set up on the quantum class ships.

 

Im just affrriad it will be uncomfortable for them. I appreciate any feedback. :o

If I am not mistaken, I believe Anthem has trundle style sofa beds.

They are young enough to not be "uncomfortable"....teens can sleep anywhere!

The sofa pulls out like a trundle bed. You can keep one lower so they don't have to sleep next to each other.

You really don't think a 12 & 14 y/o are going to be uncomfortable because of bedding?

Unless you booked under a kids sail free program you might check into a inside cabin for the kids. The price difference for a inside compared to 2 extra in a balcony is sometimes comparable if not cheaper.

I did check, and it is under KSF. The savings was HUGE.

And, the cost of 2 insides was crazy. I guess i will be drinking a lot on this one🥃[emoji485]🥂[emoji898][emoji484][emoji482]

As stated, it's not "one" doublebed sofabed - it's two separate beds in trundle style, where one bed pulls out from under the other. They are made up separately with their own linens.

My now grown sons were fine sharing a bed when they were 2 and 4, but by 12 and 14 not so much. Even if they are "separate" beds perse, they're still not each a full size or even really twin size and not separated by any real space. 12 and 14 year olds can be as big as an adult.

I have 12 and 15 year old boys. They sleep on the pull out couch on Anthem - no problem.

If there is room you might see about a roll-away bed.

Nope, not an option. Wouldn't be room anyway...

Prob still fine, but how tall are they? Our 6'2" DS hangs off the singles...not a deal breaker, but better that they know ahead of time!

...and once again I ask (in vain), have you done a survey? At 12 and 14 they are not babies, and could very well be uncomfortable on some beds. :rolleyes:

And you will never get a response. In case you haven’t noticed, there are certain “canned” responses to various queries - usually incorrect. I’m thinking they’re on auto text. In any event, the two teens are being taken on a cruise, the trundle type beds are way better than a regular sofa bed and they will have a great time.

If my sons at ages 12 and 14 were asked to choose between comfortable beds at home and uncomfortable beds on a cruise ship, I am sure I know what their answers would have been.
