Shadow205 Posted January 8, 2015 #1 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I have seen many posts about uncomfortable beds on Princess ships. Several posters have said that they request an egg crate topper for their mattress. I came across this information today on the Princess website: http://www.princess.com/downloads/pdf/ships/royal_princess.pdf "Every stateroom on the Royal and the Regal have a pillow-top mattress" Comments from those who have cruised on these ships about the beds comfort?

Rare RLK33853 Posted January 8, 2015 #2 Share Posted January 8, 2015 We were just on the Royal in October/November and the bed was very comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westendgirl Posted January 8, 2015 #3 Share Posted January 8, 2015 We've been on the Royal twice (and coming up again in March) and the Regal and the beds were perfectly comfortable. Good job Princess! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2pbears Posted January 8, 2015 #4 Share Posted January 8, 2015 We had a great bed on the Royal in July. We have in the past requested egg crates in advance but it wasn't necessary at all on the Royal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolyn R Posted January 8, 2015 #5 Share Posted January 8, 2015 The pillows are lovely too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loonbeam Posted January 8, 2015 #6 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Yeah I will echo the crowd, that was the best bed we have had on a cruise, hands (and heads) down... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam in CA Posted January 8, 2015 #7 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Yes, pillowtop mattresses. Very comfortable. Much more comfortable than HAL's or Celebrity's in my experience. I've had pillowtop mattresses on every Princess cruise I've taken in the past two years, including the Crown, Sapphire, Diamond, Island, and Royal.

Shadow205 Posted January 8, 2015 Author #8 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Glad to hear all of the positive feedback! Getting pretty excited:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MandD Posted January 8, 2015 #9 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I have seen many posts about uncomfortable beds on Princess ships. Several posters have said that they request an egg crate topper for their mattress. Shadow, check the dates on those posts. Royal had comfortable beds when launched last year and Princess started replacing mattresses on all the other ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom33 Posted January 8, 2015 #10 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Royal and Regal both have comfy beds and pillows. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovetocruiseprincess Posted January 8, 2015 #11 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I suspect they be OK for a few years until they develop sags and lumps. Now if they could only replace those bath towels.....;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bachcruise Posted January 8, 2015 #12 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Just off the Royal and had the best mattress and pillows out of all my cruises. I slept better than I have in a long time. :) Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CI66774 Posted January 8, 2015 #14 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Beds on the Royal are very comfy. Not too soft, not too hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanLaurel Posted January 8, 2015 #15 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I hope these mattresses are durable. I found ours to be superb, and I plan on visiting it or it's siblings over the coming years, Lord willing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fool4greys Posted July 11, 2015 #16 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Do the pillows or Duvet have feathers? I am allergic to all feathers, if they do have feathers can I request non-feather? Thanks, Laura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daisyloo Posted July 11, 2015 #17 Share Posted July 11, 2015 We have sailed on both Regal and Royal and the beds are a big improvement over the rock hard slabs we have experienced on other Princess ships. (they're still not as nice as HAL's beds in our opinion ;)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsoxfan79 Posted July 16, 2015 #18 Share Posted July 16, 2015 (edited) I sailed on the Royal this past March with my mother. We were in mini-suite B414 and our beds had the hardest mattresses I have ever encountered! I travel all the time so I know these were uncomfortably hard. It felt like we were sleeping on table tops. My mother at the time had a hair-line fracture in her back (we didn't know it until she came home and got an MRI) so she could not handle sleeping on it. I woke up the first morning to find her sleeping on the sofa. I asked for pillow-tops or egg-crates to soften the beds and all they did was put a thin mattress pad on them. I figured perhaps the ships was all out of egg crate toppers since he didn't give us them. We are going on an April 2016 cruise on the Regal (now that her back is better) and I hope the mattresses are softer. I'm surprised to hear that others say the Royal's mattresses were comfortable. I wonder if we had a cabin that had replacement mattresses cause these were the hardest mattresses I have ever seen - even in mattress stores! :-) Edited July 16, 2015 by redsoxfan79 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare dickinson Posted July 16, 2015 #19 Share Posted July 16, 2015 We were recently on the Royal. Beds (we had to switch cabins on our b2b) were both quite comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colo Cruiser Posted July 16, 2015 #20 Share Posted July 16, 2015 (edited) I had thought I read a post recently from someone just back from either the Royal/Regal who said the when they pulled up the sheets etc that the mattress actually had a removable type pillow top topper on it. I never paid attention on the Regal. I know it was hard as a rock though. Edited July 16, 2015 by Colo Cruiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
