Was wondering what is more comfortable for a person 6'3". We have a suite with plenty of room and wondered which one you thinks would be the most comfortable. Thanks

Well, I am only 6-2, and perhaps have tried the wrong sofa beds - but I would opt for a rollaway.

You should call HAL to be sure that the ship you're on has roll-away beds. I had the same question as you, because we had planned on putting three adults (friends) into a suite, but HAL advised me that the Eurodam, for one, does not and told me that the SS sofabeds do not really pull out and that if you're taller than the sofa is long (i.e. between the arms of the sofa), you may not be comfortable sleeping on it.

Our room does have a pull out sofa bed. I saw some photo's of the same type room on our ship with a rollaway bed and wondered if it was more comfortable. Most of the time if a rollaway bed is long enough it is more comfortable then a sofa bed.
Any opinions?

I've slept in a sofa bed on a "R" class "S" suite. It was a full or queen bed. Although more comfortable than most sofa beds, it wasn't as comfortable as the single-folddown-from-sofa type in the non-suite cabins (which, because I'm only 5'9" are long enough for me). I was sick of it after 10 days.
For our most recent Vista suite, I picked an SC which had the single sofa bed for this reason.
I've never slept on a HAL rollaway. I believe these are only available for young children and I'd be skeptical they'd be long enough.
