There's only a single bed -- generally meant for one if proper rest is the interest -- in the two cabins (i.e., in Rest Cabin 11 and Rest Cabin 12) that I've used. So perhaps they see two people and decide it's "nej" for "du".
It's rather interesting what kind of looks a "rest cabin user" gets when opening the door. The looks especially from the people sitting near the fireplace and rest cabins can be rather entertaining.

As far as I can recall it said rest cabin 12 on my key as well...

It's quite funny that they are called cabin 11 and cabin 12 though...

I guess the C B-pass was to China and cost 20 bucks ??

I don't recommend flying Continental from Stockholm to EWR in the New York/NJ area, at least not if in coach. Even top-tier elites from DL and NW don't get lounge access. 
Good thing is that SK will get more of that business.
By the way, I keep running into Swedes in NYC these past couple of days, but no Norwegians. Where are tommy777 and compatriots visiting?

*A you have LH from FRA along with AF from CDG and KL from AMS.
If you must or only will fly SK TA then.
From ORD UA flies RJ-170s to IAH and not so comfortable for 2:45 minute flight. Sometimes baggage is limited even further or delayed on arrival if that is a issue and carry-ons may be forced to be checked. AA flies MD-80s at least from there. SK has some fares to connect with AA therefore bookable at online agencies.
From EWR you have great connection with CO with some segments on 757 or 767 available. definately the most comfortable but outside *A.
From IAD UA has only one RJ-170 flight a day and continental also flies only commeter ERJs for this 3 hour plus flight.

Yeah, talked with our travel agent and she also recommended me to go LH through FRA so now I’m on LH440/441.

And the fares are good.
