OV room with a crib

[bigdaddyvoges]

We are traveling on the Carnival Imagination on the 17th, and wondering how crammed we will be. I know I know, a balcony room is much better when baby has to sleep, but this ship does not have standard balcony rooms but just a few suites, and I could not bare the thought of spending so much p.p. for a 4 day cruise. (but we did for our upcoming Magic cruise in August :D) So does anyone have any thoughts/tips? I saw yesterday you can now configure your beds online, and wondering if maybe leaving it at 2 twins would give us more room to walk? We also took a tip from another thread about creating a curtain using 3m hooks, twine, and a sheet. May sound silly to some, but I haven't the slightest idea how DD is going to sleep ANYTIME knowing we're in there. She is 17 mths old, and just started walking this past week, so any tips would be appreciated!!!

 

Thanks in advance!

Instead of having the beds come out from the window have them come out from the side wall and put the crib at the foot of the bed up against the wall. The bad thing about this is that the person who is on the inside of the bed has to climb out of the bed but it gives the most room while having the beds together.

We didn't bother with a crib on our last. My son was 17 mo as well and we turned the love seat around in our room and that was where he slept. It looked crazy but was actually more comfy than the crib they brought in and we lost no space either. We just asked for extra sheets to cover with.
