Hello,

I bought two tickets for a 2 bed cabin on the InterCity Notte 771 coming from Venice and heading to Rome. My understanding is that my wife and I will share one cabin that can sleep 2 people but upon receiving the ticket confirmation, the seats assigned to us are 032 and 036 in carriage 3, does that mean that my wife and I will be sleeping in 2 separate cabins/rooms? Please help me

Thank you

Hi!

You will be fine, 32 and 36 are in the same compartment.
The standard seat/bed numbering scheme which is used in Europe is as follows:
Seat number: XY
X = compartment number, usually from 1 to 11 (tops)
Y = seat number, usually from 1 to 6, in eight seat compartments and saloon coaches from 1 to 8
Even numbers are always facing the same direction, odd numbers are facing the opposite direction then.

In your sleeping car, there are 12 half compartments with three beds each. The first compartment with three beds has the bed numbers 11, 13, 15; the next compartment has bed numbers 12, 14, 16. There is a connecting door between these two half compartments in case a larger group would like to travel together. The next compartment has bed numbers 21, 23, 25, then 22, 24, 26 and so on.
As you have booked a two bed compartment, the middle bed will not be in use and stays folded to the wall, thats why you have bed numbers 32 and 36.

Have a nice trip! :)

Thank you very much for the quick reply! You guys are amazing! My understanding is that this cabin will be private and we will have our own sink and will be able to lock the door from the inside (a hotel room on wheels), will see how it will look like. Can't wait

Thanks again

You're welcome! :)
Yes, this will be a private cabin with sink. Toilets are on the end of the carriage, unfortunately there are no showers though. In the morning you should be offered coffee plus a roll/croissant.
Below I attached a very bad photo of my trip on such a coach back in 2011 from Palermo to Milano...unfortunately this is the only one I have of these coaches.
