Whimsy Posted April 16, 2008 #3 Share Posted April 16, 2008 We have stayed in a mini suite twice and I would have no problem with our adult daughter staying with us. Keep in mind, there is no way to have any privacy between the main bed and sofa bed or pull down if that is important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doublemm16 Posted April 16, 2008 #4 Share Posted April 16, 2008 I hope it is doable...I am taking my parents on a cruise in June on the CB and we are all staying in a mini-suite. I will have report once I get back!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blindrid Posted April 16, 2008 #5 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Good luck as it's going to be cozy. I'm fighting the same issue with a family get together with son's, g-kids, DIL's etc. I think I'm going to spring for a few extra inside/outside cabins so they can be a bit more comfor table in three or four in a cabin. The only thing I know for sure is that we'll have our own cabin (even though I can see a grandson or daughter spending a night or two anyway.....):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
messy Posted April 16, 2008 #6 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Just got back from a ten day cruise - we were three in a mini suite and it was fine - very comfortable. There's not much privacy though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlp252 Posted April 16, 2008 #7 Share Posted April 16, 2008 My good friend and I usually opt for a mini-suite. We've been friends for 16 years, but we're not the kind of friends that can both be in the bathroom at the same time (for instance), or get dressed in the same room. I would think it would be a bit easier for family or very, very close friends, but yeah, there isn't any privacy between the sofa bed and other sleeping area. You'd also have to get dressed in the bathroom or closet area (as my friend and I do) if you aren't THAT close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadamG2U Posted April 16, 2008 #8 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Leaving on CB on 4/26. I am taking my parents with me, we have a mini suite. The only bad thing I've heard so far is that the sofabed is deadly. I'm planning on asking for 2 egg crates and taking lots of aspirin.

doublemm16 Posted April 16, 2008 #9 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Good thing I have a strong back then!! Thanks for the heads up about the sofa bed...I am paying for the trip and the parents get the bed sheesh! :D I cannot afford a single cabin for myself...I traveled in an oceanview cabin with my friend and her 11 year old daughter in Europe 2 years ago and that was tight!!! This is going to seem like a palace. I am aware that there is not much privacy, but it is my parents....we can take turns getting ready for dinner...we have anytime dining.

Rob & Beckys mom Posted April 16, 2008 #10 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Have a wonderful time! There are a lot of places to go on the ship while others get dressed etc. , I'm sure it will work out fine. Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovelyladi Posted April 16, 2008 #11 Share Posted April 16, 2008 I might spend the same money and get an inside and a window view room (unless there uis a huge single supplement) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKC3 Posted April 16, 2008 #12 Share Posted April 16, 2008 We did the Med last year with 3 in a mini-suite on the Emerald (DH and my dad). It worked out fine. Plenty of room...and having the larger bathroom was a nice treat. Plenty of cabinet and hanging space for the 3 of us - I just threw extra wire (throwaway) hangars in my bag and we were fine.... As others have mentioned, there's not a ton of privacy, but you can go into the closet area or out on the large balcony while others are changing if necessary. The only time the room is "tight" is when the sofabed is out - but that's only for sleeping! Otherwise, there's plenty of room, and a couch to relax on. Have fun!

stoneharborlady Posted April 16, 2008 #13 Share Posted April 16, 2008 My sister thought the sofa bed in the mini suite VERY comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzegirl Posted April 16, 2008 #14 Share Posted April 16, 2008 It's definitely doable in both a mini suite and a balcony stateroom. I have friends are we mostly travel 3 at a time.... Very workable and the savings is good......:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djhsolara Posted April 17, 2008 #15 Share Posted April 17, 2008 We're going to be doing 3 in a mini-suite in two weeks (my partner and I with my Mother). Question...does the steward take the sofa bed out at night and have it made up and put it back in the morning or is that something that we will need to do? Thanks!!

The room steward will take care of everything. He will make up the sofa bed in the evening, and he will put it back in the morning while you are at breakfast.

djhsolara Posted April 17, 2008 #17 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Thanks for the quick reply. One more...when the sofa bed is out, is there enough room to get around it and go out onto the balcony? We always like to go out there last thing at night and first thing in the morning and the sofa bed will still be out at these times. Thanks!!

Times Prince Posted April 17, 2008 #18 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Our Mediterranean cruise on the Grand Princess was in a mini-suite with our daughter who just graduated from college. She found the sofa bed to be pleasantly comfortable, and found that falling asleep on the couch was equally comfortable - it was long enough for her to stretch out, and if I recall that was also the orientation of the bed when made - lengthwise, avoiding any hardware bars. With two women in the cabin there were times that I was exiled to the balcony or more often to the closet area - which was where I changed. The mini-suite was quite roomy and we didn't find it crowded at all. Only once during the 12 day cruise was I banned from the cabin ;) while one changed and the other bathed. Our daughter said she would do it again, if invited... :D And yes, there was room to go around the bed when open - but not a lot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
