Bed linen

[Merly]

Does anyone know the thread count of the bed linen used on the ships please? It always feels so good.

It's probably around 400 or so. Higher thread counts don't automatically make a good sheet....it's sort of like sunscreen...anything over 30 SPF doesn't double your protection at all, but it DOES double the price!

 

How nice a sheet feels depends on the type of thread...not how many there are per sq. inch!

I think its around 500 but the weight is the thing that makes them good. They have a fat thread.

 

I know one thing, the sheets on Solstice on our cruise this month couldn't touch the ones on RCCL. Theirs were scratchy compared to the silky feel of RCCL's. Surprising I know, because they are supposed to be all about luxury.

That is REALLY odd. :rolleyes::D

Thanks.

 

Correction: Extra-soft, 300 thread-count Egyptian cotton yarns and sateen fabric combine for the highest level of comfort and resilience.

Has anyone bought these sheets? Are they as nice as the ones on the ships?:confused:

[Coralc]

I have no idea. It appears that they are from Italy.

Thank you all for your replies. I just find their linen so cosy.

Thread count is just one factor in bed linen - the type of thread, the weave, and the finish are very important in the overall feel of a sheet - even how it is laundered makes a huge difference or if they are ironed or not. I owned a B&B and bought a LOT of linen. It was frequently a topic at breakfast!

They are nice, but they are NOT the same sheets as used on the ships. :eek:

Like I said - the SAME sheet feels very different if you dry in the dryer and put it on the bed vs ironing it. The ship I'm sure has an industrial mangle.

I didn't care for the sheets on our RCCL cruise. I thought they were scratchy and felt cheap. I seem to be in the minority, though.

Thanks, Chip.

What about line drying it outside as we still do here in UK

Smells great if nothing else.

Agree, much prefer to line dry if possible.

We also line dry here in the U.S.. It is my favorite way to dry sheets...they do smell great. :D

Love it,

That is how my mom did it when I grew up......circa 1970's

 

Thanks for the memories.

 

Safe travels.
