Has Anyone Noticed? 2 Twins=king Or Queen?

[vacation fool]

At the risk of sounding stupid, has anyone else noticed that depending on which cruise web site you are on that they claim 2 twins convert to a king while others say the same twins convert to a queen? Now how can that be? And whats up with that?:cool:

Advertising.Anyway, I think the answer maybe that on some cruiselines the "twin" beds are more narrow as in the european style which if pushed together would make them a queen,but if the larger size they would become a king.This is a just a guess on my part,but I thought this question needed an answer....:D

Most times they are more of a queen size than king. I guess one could say that they are somewhere in between.

[Gingee]

My guess would be that they turn into a queen instead of a king.

Definitely a Queen size bed--king would be great--but, not so

 

These seemlike small twins--when we get to the room they are already pushed together

Only the ships leaving out of San Francisco have queens.

Come on, you know you smiled…..

2 full sized twin beds will make a king. There are a standard size twin that when you pust together, they would make a queen. Does that make any sense.

I don't know...they seem a little bit bigger than a regular queen bed. I know that hubby and I fight for space in a regular queen, and on cruises we don't seem to do that.

Only on the Disney ship did the bed look like a king to me-on other lines-as you said-more of a queen.

 

Twins beds are 39 inches but I think on cruiseships they are usually not even 36 inches.

:D I am definetly smiling and laughing out loud at all of the responses that everyone gave me. (esp the queens out of san fran) I think it is hysterical that everyone has a different perception and that there is not a clearcut answer. No wonder the cruise lines keep us guessing and use it as marketing strategy. Now i don't feel so alone in trying to figure it out. Thanks to all......

We have a queen at home, and I can honestly say that the Carnival beds are bigger than what we have.

OK, I smiled. But we're leaving from NYC.:D

 

And as to bed dimensions, after checking several different web sites, it looks like the consensus is as follows for US beds:

 

Twin/Single 39" x 75"

 

Full/Double 54" x 75"

 

Queen 60" x 80"

 

King 76" x 80"

 

So if you start out with two twins and push them together, you get a bed that's a little wider and shorter than a king.

 

And, of course, all bets are off if non-US or custom dimensions are being referenced.

...C'mon now, Dorothy has friends in the Big Apple too !....As to beds....It does vary from cruise line to cruise line...The one I am most familiar with, HAL, the bed is a full size king in the suites....It seems to me it was the same on QM2, Silver Seas and Regent....

You are right-on our Hal cruise it did look more like a king the queen-but not on Carnival and not on Royal Caribean either. On Celebrity zenith also it was more the size of a queen.
