Room configuration? Don't want uppers!

[NotACruiserYet]

Is it possible on Carnival to get an interior room for four without uppers? I'd like a fold out sofa if possible. What category is that? Can't figure out how to find it on their website!

AFAIK, no.

The floor space is so limited.... I'm guessing no, but not sure. I'm in an interior room and requested 2 uppers due to no floor space. I'm sure if you call Carnival, they can help you.

The 5 person cabins would have an upper, lower and a trundle on some ships. You would have to be booked in a 5 person, cancel one person at a time when there weren't anymore 4 person cabins in your category.

 

Or you could book a 4 person with an uppper and lower, and request a roll away.

 

Either way would take a bit a research and planning.

There are some suites on the Fantasy class ships that use a pullout sofa bed for passengers 3&4.

 

There are a few ships that allow rollaways to be brought in-- All Fantasy class and a few others built before 2000.

Fantasy class OV do not have a sofa.

On the others check to see if they have a sofa.

Check out the deck plan for your ship. There are some room configurations with a pull-out sofa bed and one upper

The fold out sofas only turn into a single bed. Not a double, or anything big enough to sleep more than one person.

Not for interiors, way too small. There's no space for a sofa. With other room types, there are options. You will need a room that has a double sofa bed. Carnival does have some of those, although they are quite limited. The single sofa beds (much more common) are only 33" wide, only enough for 1 person. And they are not a pull-out! The seat of the sofa becomes the bed, so don't be deceived into thinking that 2 can sleep on those. And there are no true interiors that have any kind of a sofa, because the rooms are quite tiny.

 

However, the double sofa beds are wide enough for 2, and that is a pull-out. These are in limited supply, and you will most likely have to get a Grand Suite. But not all GS have the double sofa bed. Choose carefully. On deck plans, look for the cross symbol in the room. I think all Carnival ships will have these types of rooms in Grand Suites, except Spirit class. There are also a few ships that have scenic OV rooms up on deck 9, in the very front of the ship, that have a double sofa bed. These rooms are extremely popular and get booked up very fast. Sunshine and most of the Conquest ships have these.

 

There is 1 more option that is not as expensive. But it can only be done on Triumph, Victory, or Sunshine. These 3 ships have oceanview rooms that use a single sofabed (the one that's not a pullout) for the 3rd person. Typically, the 4th person is in an upper bunk, but some of their rooms will instead put the 4th person in a trundle or rollaway. It doesn't look like any of these ships have this setup for a balcony, except in some of the suites. These 3 ships are the only ships that use rollaways/trundles and also have sofas in the OV & balcony rooms. Sometimes, OV rooms are not much more expensive than interiors, so you should look into this option. These 3 ships plus the 8 Fantasy class ships can all use trundles/rollaways. You could book an interior for 3 and put the 4th in a trundle/rollaway. But there's no way to bring in a 2nd trundle/rollaway; not nearly enough floor space. So 1 person would have to sleep in an upper, or put 3 of you on the king bed. Or get 2 cheap interior rooms, which is available on any ship.

I suspect that generally your cheapest option for four beds on the floor will be to get two interior cabins, which will also give you two bathrooms.

Three beds in an inside
