cruisetek Posted July 23, 2016 #1 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Hi there, we're looking at booking this cabin on the Crown for a Caribbean itinerary. We're traveling with a 14 year old (adult size!), and are wondering how the rollaway is for this room? Is there enough room for it to not be in the way? Looking at the few photos I can find, I don't see where it would go. Is it comfortable? Our DS has previously stayed on the sofabeds, and finds them fine to sleep on - we're just concerned the rollaway might be less comfortable, and worry about the space it will take. Also, I've searched myriad threads for balcony photos, and am still unsure on whether this balcony is considered desirable or not! The dreaded beam issue. Does anyone have recent photos or input? We just want enough space to spread out, and likely enjoy balcony dining for all 3 of us in comfort. Thanks for any input or advice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherylandtk Posted July 23, 2016 #2 Share Posted July 23, 2016 A suite like this has quite a few options for where to place the rollaway. Are you not using the sofa bed? The Ruby is identical to the Crown on this section of the deck, here is a video of the Ruby to give you some sense of your options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisetek Posted July 23, 2016 Author #3 Share Posted July 23, 2016 IS there a sofa bed? When looking at booking online, there was red text indicating that a 3rd or 4th passenger would require a rollaway...so I presumed that there wasn't a sofa bed. The bed options were listed as "Queen/Twin, Sofa, Rollaway" - the other cabins with sofabed specifically say "sofabed" instead of sofa. If there is indeed a sofa bed that would solve our problems! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sofa itself was not comfortable and worn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just want enough space to spread out, and likely enjoy balcony dining for all 3 of us in comfort. Thanks for any input or advice! How many of you are in this cabin? Did they tell you a roll away would be used? We have had a roll away a number of times on Princess. There are only certain cabins that Princess will allow these in. A roll away will take up alot of room. It is folded up during the day and stowed behind the balcony door slider curtain. IMO......When they are set up they are a fire hazard. They block a large area when they are set up and they make it very difficult to get around especially in the dark. They are not comfortable and worse then a sofa bed. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisetek Posted July 24, 2016 Author #6 Share Posted July 24, 2016 There would be 3 of us in total, 2 adults and one teenager (who's taller than me!). Here's the text that comes up on the booking summary when selecting this cabin: Available Bed Types:TWINS/SOFA/ROLLAWAY Note: For 3rd or 4th Guest, 1 rollaway bed is permanently placed in your cabin. If it is, indeed, a rollaway, then it sounds like it might be a deal-breaker. I know the cabin is large, but the space seems well-utilized already and the only way I can see accommodating a rollaway is by moving furniture around (which kind of defeats the point of having extra floor space).

If there is indeed a sofa bed that would solve our problems! :) From what I can see, the sofa is indeed a sofa bed. (Go to the deck plans, click on the room in the diagram and click through to the room amenities, it says all the sofas are sofa beds in the suites). I think the red caveat is written poorly, it should say for the 4th passengers in the suite, the 1 rollaway is permanently placed. The 3rd passenger is using the sofa bed. While some find them uncomfortable, it seems your 14 YO is fine with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SadieN Posted July 24, 2016 #8 Share Posted July 24, 2016 For the sofa bed/rollaway, ask for a topper. Sis had to beg for one. The mattress was thinner than my camping pad. With the topper the sheets and duvet will have to be stored somewhere else when the sofa is closed.
