Cat. 6 - Sleeps 3 or 4?

[Melrosgirl]

I'm looking at my Passporter cruise book (first edition) and two of the rooms that have been quoted to me by TA's are listed as "sleeps 3." I am booking for 4 people. What's the difference b/w sleeps 3 and 4? (and don't say the difference is one, lol.) Do TA's realize that not all category 6 rooms sleep 4 people or is the passporter incorrect?

thanks.

I had this same question when we were orignally booked for 2 connecting 3 person rooms when we wanted a 4 person and a 2 person room. All rooms sleep at least 3, but some have the extra fold down bunk bed above the sleeper sofa for the 4th person.

OUr family of 4 stayed in a category 6 in 2002. There was the bed, the couch that turned into a bed and a bed that pulled down from the ceiling/wall kind of thing that was over the couch and that was how our room slept 4. It was really nice, in the morning since I woke up first there was still plenty of room for me to get to the sliding door and out onto the verandah while everyone else was still asleep.

Disney will not allow a ressie for 4 people in a cabin that only sleeps 3.


The first version of Passporter had some incorrect cabin information. I thought the current version of the Passporter had corrected those mistakes, but not sure which version you are looking at.

The difference in the cabins is a pull down bunk bed that comes out of the wall to allow the 4th person to sleep. During the day it is put away and your steward will set it up at night time.

HTH!

DCL confirmed for me that they will not book 4 people in a room that sleeps 3, even if the fourth person is a baby.

Does the square footage for the cat 6'es include the verandah? Or is the cabin itself bigger?

We ran into this problem when booking the repo cruise.

Most of our group were 2-3 people per room. Our TA was booking us all in rooms near each other on deck 5. The issue we ran into was 2 families needed rooms that slept 4 people. The deck 5 (aft) rooms (even cat 6 and cat 11) only sleep 3 people.

So the two families of 4 had to be moved to another deck.

We just booked three rooms for the July 2006 cruise. We needed one cat 6, and two cat 11. One of the cat 11 had to sleep four. They put us all on Deck 6. The two cat 11 right next door to each other and the cat 6 across the hall. We did set this up through a TA and they near which rooms could sleep four.

BUZZBOYMOM.....just to clarify so others understand...the Cat 6 rooms have a bed that pulls down from the CEILING to sleep 4.

Only the Cat 4 rooms have a "Murphy Bed" that actually pulls down from the wall to sleep 5.

I realized this when I tried to book my next DCL earlier today. I had my heart set on one of the aft cabins on deck 6. When I called the TA and told it was available I was soooo excited, then after being on hold for an eternity I found out that it wasn't letting her put in the fourth person in my party. She called DCL directly and found out that all the aft cabins (at least on decks 5 & 6) are for 3 people only. That really stinks for those of us who like or would like to try the aft cabins. Maybe when I book my next RCI I'll give it a try; until then I'm back in my regular room, midship. No complaints...at least I'm going to be on the ship!!!

The square footage includes the verandah...

Just understand that staterooms (depenidng on category) is the same square footage whether it sleep 3 or 4 people... Like lot of the posts above stated, the difference is the upper berth that pulls down to sleep the 4th person. Even if it is a baby...that is a marine laws that cannot allow more than 4 people per stateroom unless you are in a cat that sleep more people.

But what i didn't know was the afts staterooms on deck 5 sleep only 3 people....very interesting!!
