Bed sizes

[cruisegal134]

I am sure this is just another stupid question from me, but here I go...

 

Most of the rooms on the Pearl state that there are two single beds that can be put together to form a queen sized bed. We have a king sized bed at home and the boxsprings for King beds are two single bed box springs put together. See where I am going with this... :)

 

So, when the two beds are put together, do they really equal a queen bed or a king sized bed?

 

If a couple really needs a bed that is larger than a queen, do they need to get an Owner's Suite at a Deluxe Owner's Suite or a Garden Villa? Even the Courtyard Villa only has a queen sized bed.

 

What do more "ample" people do if they need a bigger bed? And please don't say to stay home. ;)

 

Thanks!

Don't quote me on this because I haven't sailed with NCL yet, but from other cruises, my understanding is that CCL uses 2 twins which become a king. Others use 2 singles (which are smaller than twins) to make a queen.

 

I'm definitely in the need a king size bed crowd, but we've managed in the 2 singles making the queen. Somehow it seems different when they are actually 2 beds together.

 

Hope this helps!

I've seen online sites say the beds can be put together to form a "double" bed. Talk about small.

We prefer the king size bed as well. But we had no problem with the queen on the Spirit. And that is with me DW using every available pillow in the room as a body pillow.

The beds on NCL when seperated are "singles" so pushed together they are a queen.

Thanks for all of the responses. Shoreguy - any input?

 

Thanks!

The beds on the Dawn and PoAm form a bed larger than a queen. DH and I are both large people and have plenty of room with the 2 beds put together.

 

On one particularly rocky cruise, I used the extra pillows to help keep me on my side and from rolling off the bed... :) .. and we still had room.
