jgrizzle13 Posted January 7, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Hi there, Cruising as a family of 4 in April 2022- 2 kids age 1 & 4. My question is, is it possible for the sofa to be removed from the room so we have extra floor room for a pack and play? My daughter can use the upper pull down bed, I assume. Does a pack and play even fit on an NCL balcony cabin? Also, if anyone has any tips for cruising with littles, let us know! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Peachypooh Posted January 7, 2023 #3 Share Posted January 7, 2023 On one cruise on the Pearl we saw on embarkation day some furniture out in the hallway in front of a balcony cabin...On disembark day we saw the same furniture in the hall probably waiting to be put back so the answer to that is probably yes.

You may want to contact the Special Needs/ Accessability dept at NCL so your request can be fulfilled before you board. Ymmv ofc but I would start with them 🙂 I assume you mean April 2023, not ‘22. 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all seriousness if you have parents willing to go or other adults it will make it much easier. Especially if the four year old can bunk with them.My four year old grandaughter slept on our couch and loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesea777 Posted January 18, 2023 #10 Share Posted January 18, 2023 The OP is cruising on the Escape, it’s one of the newer mega ships where the sofa/couch in the balcony cabins are built in. The older ships have removable couches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big price difference to get a 2nd cabin- besides unless it was a perfect adjoining rooms situation, our kids are young and can't be in a different room from us for safety reasons.

FLAHAM Posted May 13, 2023 #18 Share Posted May 13, 2023 A second cabin is definitely the way to go. Sometimes you just have to bear the expense for kids. Raid their college fund! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldmom Posted May 13, 2023 #20 Share Posted May 13, 2023 It's been a long time since I've needed to deal with this, but can't you order a crib through the cruise line? Maybe through special needs? Then they would be responsible for figuring out how to fit it into the cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare blueslily Posted May 14, 2023 #21 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Wwith 3 adults and a child, I second getting a second, connecting cabin. Sadly, cruise prices are higher these days. But, certainly sounds like more space is needed unless a suite of some sort is booked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
