Camarote
I know that this is some type of bed, yet I looked it up the dictionary it said "cabin." I'm thinking bunk bed. Any other thoughs'

No, It's not a type of bed. It's a room, but on a ship. It's a nautical word.
Daniel,
In El Salvador the word camarote is indeed used for bunk bed. So, I am assuming it could also mean the same in Panama.
Ever been to panama? My guess is that she recoginized the word "calchones," did not know the word "camarote," and, rather than admitting this, made up and answer. Ooops, hope no one is from Panama. Just an observation.
I do appreciate the discussion though. Did not realize this group existed until today.
I think he meant the "colchones" part of it!
This actually makes sense as the description read "camarote colchones." It was a native spanish speaker who told me that it was a type of bed though. Not my own invention.
Guillermo is right: It is a cabin, like those used in boats where tight beds and bunk beds are placed. Sometimes is used for first class cabis, but then the word "lujo" is added.
