I don't think there are any in "regular" cabins. As mentioned above, look at two cabins.

Thanks. Yup, checking a variety of options. It would be nice to have 2 bathrooms...

Appreciate your response!

The pullman beds will handle adults and are comfortable.  I have slept in them in the past when our family was young.  They are certainly more comfortable than the sofa bed.  Housekeeping will make each bed each day including the Pullmans.

 

You may also want to consider a family stateroom that can handle up to 6 in the standard twin / king bed arrangement along with a sofa bed and two bunk beds in a separate area.  We have also used this for our family and I have experience sleeping in the bunk bed, which was also fine.  This category is a standard category, not a suite category, and while being a higher fare is significantly larger and well suited to 4+ people.

 

I would contact a travel agent with this request as you want to be certain that the correct room configuration is selected for your requirements.  This would also be necessary to book the family stateroom as that can only be booked by calling the cruise line directly or through a TA.

Terrific information. Good to know Pullman are designed for adults, too! Yes, 6 may give us more room and we could use the sofa as a sofa during the day. Glad to know we could do this without getting second room or a suite. We are planning to use TA, just trying to get as specific as I can before we book.Thanks again! Appreciate your response.

P.S. Love your username!

The only balcony cabins that have a pullman in it are the regular balcony cabins that are designed to sleep 5.  They have the King that splits into 2 twins, a sofabed and one pullman.  These kind of cabins are only found on Allure and Oasis.

Thanks! That would work fine for us! Appreciate your response!

Try YouTube.  But really not suitable for four unrelated adults.  If you are all on a budget- try two inside or oceanview staterooms.  You will have privacy, two bathrooms and storage.  When I travel with family on a budget, we get two central park staterooms- deck 9 without a balcony same price as inside, but much nicer and larger- with a great view.

Thanks! Great advice and I will check YouTube! Appreciate your response!

Can anyone help me discern about cabins sleeping 4 unrelated adults. We need 4 beds and don't want to get into suite category. We are looking for an ocean view balcony. I have seen 2 twin beds (by taking king apart) double sofa and pullman beds. Does the double sofa really sleep 2 full size adults? Would like info on pullman beds as really would prefer each our own beds. Do the pullmans safely hold full size adults if coming down from ceiling or off the wall?  Do they come down from ceiling or off the wall?  What about housekeeping now once a day, would the sofa and pullman stay open and unmade all day? Is it realistic for us to unmake sofa and pullman and then remake at night. I have read unable to get housekeeping in for nighttime room prep even with increased tipping. Thanks!

(I couldn't find a picture of pullman on RCCL web site.)

Thank you!!! We cruise in August. This was super helpful!

Thank you. This is very helpful info!

Excellent info. Much appreciated, thanks!

Super info! Thank you very much!! I'll check out these hotels!

Great info! Thanks very much!

Hi, Looking for recommendations/information/suggestions for hotel and things we can do if we fly into Seattle day before cruise on NCL Encore to Alaska.

Thank you very much! 

Add: Edgewater has 2 night minimum in August.

Marriott waterfront is $500 and saw in review: noisy with nearby trains and major construction in process

Any other hotels recommended? or is Marriot waterfront still a good idea?

Much appreciated!

thank you!

Thank you! This info is helping me to picture the area and make plans. Thank you very much!

Wow! Thank you so much for all of this great info!!

We plan to stay overnight in Seattle before cruise on NCL. We would like to be near the pier as well as be able to sight see. I don't know the difference between waterfront and downtown in this regards. Marriot Waterfront was recommended. Any other suggestions?  Will we need to take an Uber to sight see or is there something like an on and off trolley that tours the area? Thanks!

We are planning to fly in and out of Seattle 2023. Stay in Seattle night before cruise (NCL: Encore). It is cost effective but end up touring less of Alaska. 

Looking for thoughts, ideas, suggestions of hotel, what to do in Seattle. TY!
