HleeCruiser Posted November 6, 2016 #1 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Are the beds for the 3rd and 4th passengers stowed flush in the ceiling or are they cantilevered from the wall above the bed on the floor? Concerned about hitting my head since I am 6' 3". There will be only two of us in the cabin. Anyone have any pictures of the Category P cabins on Star? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks They are high enough that you won't have a problem. I'm 6-3 and have plenty of clearance.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's an ocean view cabin on plaza deck, the bunks are usually on the walls, rather than flush in the ceiling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astro Flyer Posted November 6, 2016 #4 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Most quad configuration cabins have the bunks protruding from the sidewalls. Once we had a quad cabin for a month long cruise & will never repeat that mistake. After a couple of days we decided to have our queen size bed split into twin beds. For us that worked better to minimize hitting our heads as we got out of bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colo Cruiser Posted November 6, 2016 #6 Share Posted November 6, 2016 (edited) It is Category OC on the Plaza Deck. As stated, on Plaza deck if its a triple/quad cabin the beds fold up but protrude from the wall. Its very difficult to maneuver in the cabin when beds are in a queen configuration unless one is a contortionist.

Astro Flyer Posted November 6, 2016 #7 Share Posted November 6, 2016 (edited) OP...if you search online you'll find photos of some cabins showing the upper bunks. I found what appears to be an oceanview quad on the Ruby which is probably the same or very similar to on the Star.

When we took our grandkids on Disney, the bunks did disappear into the ceiling when not in use. Will probably upgrade to a balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astro Flyer Posted November 6, 2016 #11 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Thanks, this is very helpful. You're welcome & here's a photo of a twin OV cabin with a queen configuration & you'll see that the bed ends where the curtains end & in the quad that's about where the upper bunks are located. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pablo222 Posted November 6, 2016 #12 Share Posted November 6, 2016 (edited) It is Category OC on the Plaza Deck. I think you will whack your head and shoulders on the upper berth. As one poster suggested, making the lower berths up as twins helps. Personally, I don't like that, as I am always bumping into the wall when I sleep. Also, if you are tall and sit on the lower bed ... you may hit your head on the upper berth when you lean back. On the other hand, Plaza Deck is a fantastic location, with easy access to the mid-ship dining rooms, and atrium. Very close to the international cafe for coffee when you roll out of bed. As a courtesy to other guests, I always make a special attempt to keep my robe closed while getting coffee. Can you get a non-quad on plaza deck? There is no obvious way to figure this out, other than try and book a quad -- which will show which cabins are quads, abandon that, and then try and select a different (non-quad) one.

Pablo that is mighty thoughtful of you and much appreciated by fellow guest I'm sure -- Closing you robe I mean. Being close to the I.C. is a nice benefit though. Appreciate your thoughts about the bunks. We will probably just do a balcony which is our usual accommodation. Not that much more. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
