Will interior state room on Navigator fit 4 adults?

My family of four - 2 adults and 2 teens - are booked on Royal Caribbean's
Navigator of the Seas in December for the Western Caribbean cruise for a
family reunion. We are booked in an interior room number 6437, which is
supposed to have two beds that come out of the wall. I think they are
called pullmans? I was wondering if anyone in the group could tell me about
the pullman beds in these cabins.

I can't seem to find any information or pictures that show the size of these
beds. All the interior state room pictures I've seen, just show the two
singles or a double bed. Anyway, I'm starting to question whether the four
of us will fit, so I was hoping someone here could shed some light on these
extra beds and whether 4 adults will fit. The cruise was booked by the
Grandparents for a family reunion and I'm not sure if they thought the room
size through. Grandparents often remember the grand kids as being much
smaller than they actually are...i.e. adult size.
Thanks.

No personal experience with the ship and stateroom, but 4 adults in a
cabin, on any ship (standard cabin...not talking mni suite or suite) is
going to be tight. The beds that come out of the wall are narrow, but
should be long enough for your teens to fit comfortably. The beds will
be folded up during the day for more space in the cabin. Other things
to consider (sleeping will be the least of the problems) are 4 adults
sharing one very tiny bathroom, 4 adults trying to move around the
cabin at one time (sometimes it's tough for two people to move around
each other and the furniture), 4 adults storing all of their clothing
and luggage in one cabin. If finances allow, I'd book a second cabin.
Leave the teens in the inside one, and book an outside or balcony for
you two. Maybe you can find two cabins available that are across the
hallway or at least in close proximity to each other.

Just my opinion...last few cruises I've had a cabin all to myself, and
have enjoyed the space.

We've gone on about 20+ cruises with our kids, who started when they were
about 12 and 9. They're now 19 and 16. We've always gotten quads, though
typically outsides - which are a bit less claustrophobic. Often we'd go 2
or 3 times a year, and get a quad to be able to go 2-3 times instead of
once.

Here's my simple answer. If money's not an issue... it's better to be in 2
cabins. If money's an issue, I'd rather go in a quad, than not go.

As far as configuration, think bunk beds on each side of the cabin.

Thanks for the inut folks. Much appreciated.
We'll just have to live very neatly for a week.

I guess as one poster said, it's better to go in a quad, than not go at all.

It will be tight. How tall are your teens and what gender? Those
"pullman" bunks are fine for smaller people. Also, girls really need
more bathroom time, in general, than boys. One person will fill the
bathroom quite completely.
Talk with your travel agent about this, or the cruise line booking
agent if you went that route.
Four adults and their luggage will fit [pack light], but you won't
have much room to spread anything out. Two may have to remain seated
while two move around. It will be an adventure, and one you will
remember for a long time. If cash allows it I would recommend booking
another adjacent room; you will still be talking with each other at
the end of the cruise that way.
Enjoy your trip,
Cheers,

Take a power strip. Although I thought there were hair dryers in the
bathroom??

There is a hair dryer in the cabin. Some bring their own because some
cruise ships have "weak" dryers.

In that case it is a scheduling problem within the family and can be
dealt with by planning ahead. Something that few people seem to do
for some reason.

If they don't plan ahead so that one person uses the facilities (with
appropriate restrictions on time of use) and then another person gets
to use them and all get finished in time to go to dinner, then the
appropriate solution is something similar to a) no one gets to use the
hairdryer, or b) that they will take turns (my turn tonight and your
turn tomorrow night) or c) that they don't get to dinner on time or d)
that the senior members of the party get first dibs on the time to use
the hairdryer and other people have to either start earlier or use
less time or go without.

Unless you have a special deal on 3rd and 4th person in the
cabin, the odds are that you can get a second cabin at roughly
the same price (or less) than you'd pay for the extra people in
a single cabin. My t/a pointed this out to me when I first used
him a few years ago, and when a friend transferred his
reservation to him recently, he also split their kids out of
their cabin and saved them money.

Also, as others have said, interior cabins are not very large
and 4 people in a single cabin is not going to be pleasant.

Bill, can you explain this, please? I've never seen an instance when
booking two cabins with two people each would be less expensive than
having four people share one cabin. (Unless, of course, you are booking
the two cabins at a much reduced category, say two insides for two
instead of one balcony for four.)

I'd really have to see the math to believe this.
