Rare crewsweeper Posted April 13 #26 Share Posted April 13 Doesn't the balcony cabins alternate where the bed is located? Just find a cabin with the arrangement you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthem has pretty large rooms I think also because Anthem and other Q class have the bathroom at an angle to the main part of the cabin, so there’s no skinny hallway at the entrance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be so uncomfortable. I have slept outside overnight on my balcony in the Caribbean. Some people lay out in the sun all day, something I never do. But at night, it's nice, there's a breeze, and the white noise of the sea, it's lovely. It is not for people who like to sleep in though because of the sunrise of course. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from the fact that you are asked to not leave anything on the balcony, if a rainstorm hits the bedding would be a mess. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I’m reading it’s only out there while someone is sleeping on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatka Posted April 14 #36 Share Posted April 14 1 hour ago, time4u2go said: Why is it not possible? 62 cruises with 8 lines, and this is the first time I read about such request. Only requests are to separate beds. I’d think some furniture is attached to the floor… and overall, why should this be accommodated. Why not book a cabin with desired configuration? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfcathorse Posted April 14 #37 Share Posted April 14 When I read "floorpan" I thought the OP was referring to something involving the shower, day plate in the elevator, or the toilet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RFerrington Posted April 14 #39 Share Posted April 14 The most “flipping” we’ve done is to switch spots with the chair and sofa in the JS so that the couch is next to the vanity. That allowed us to sit on the couch with our devices plugged-in. It was a simple switcheroo and we moved it all back into place before we left. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I suppose it would be a wake up call you'd never forget! 💦 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise a holic Posted April 14 #42 Share Posted April 14 I agree with those who say change your stateroom In many cases, except for holiday periods, many balcony stateroom options should be available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose many things are possible on the ship. Including camping on open decks or preparing own food, but such things are not supposed to be accommodated. With separated beds it’s listed as an available for request. Duties of stewards do not include switching places for sofa and bed. It’s difficult will invoke additional wear and tear. (I'm sure there are other problems that are difficult to predict) Edited April 14 by Tatka 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't possible because the desk and vanity area, which ISN'T movable, would be in the way of the bed if you were to swap the bed and sofa in an Oceanview Balcony cabin on the Freedom. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think OP was suggesting it was the responsibility of the steward, thus the title including "themselves." OP, from what I've casually noticed just walking around while rooms are being serviced, people do all sorts of wild things to their rooms and some people make a hurricane in theirs. I don't see why you couldn't change it around to your liking while onboard as long as you put it back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise a holic Posted April 15 #49 Share Posted April 15 Try a move up bid for a upgrade to a suite. You might have luck and get a room that works better for you. Of course, it will cost more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
