bostonfred Posted August 5, 2017 #1 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Reading reviews, I am getting mixed reviews of the beds. Some claim horrible mattresses and others claim they are new and comfortable. We have been on 25 cruises, but this will be only our second on princess due to rock hard bedding on ruby a few years ago. We will be mid ship balcony. Can anyone please clarify...thanks:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have to deal with the seam of the two beds in the middle and it makes any mattress good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easyboy Posted August 5, 2017 #3 Share Posted August 5, 2017 What I know is that Caribbean Princess already have the Princess Luxury Bed. Can confirm that next month. I experienced the new bed on the Emerald last year. It was a lot more comfortable for us than the old ones. Comfort level though varies per individual.

floridalover5623 Posted August 5, 2017 #4 Share Posted August 5, 2017 They've been replacing mattresses on the ships & it's been a while since we've had one of the old saggy ones. I can deal with just about anything else. They can keep their egg creates which do next to nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisingJs Posted August 5, 2017 #5 Share Posted August 5, 2017 We just got off a ship with the new mattresses and I have never experienced that nice a bed on any ship! It was so comfortable I wanted to take it home with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are reports that ships that are past the install date for the new mattress replacement supposedly still have bad ones. It's a crap shoot with no way to verify that your cabin has a new/good mattress unless you can find a passenger that just disembarked the ship and your cabin.

canadarocks Posted August 5, 2017 #7 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Since the Caribbean Princess had her "updating" recently, the mattresses are the one thing that I've read nothing but good things about. :) The buffet and the propulsion issues.... well that's another story. ;p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

srpilo Posted August 6, 2017 #9 Share Posted August 6, 2017 We just got off a ship with the new mattresses and I have never experienced that nice a bed on any ship! It was so comfortable I wanted to take it home with me. I agree, and can confirm also.. We got off in May, and all the beds have been replaced with the fantastic new mattresses.

AF-1 Posted August 6, 2017 #10 Share Posted August 6, 2017 We just got off a ship with the new mattresses and I have never experienced that nice a bed on any ship! It was so comfortable I wanted to take it home with me. Ditto. My wife and I were on Emerald last month. We wanted to hang out in bed due to the comfort of the entire bedding.

ChiCruiser758 Posted August 6, 2017 #11 Share Posted August 6, 2017 I was on the April 6 TA cruise on the Caribbean Princess in a midship balcony cabin and my stateroom had the new mattress and bedding. It is definitely not the "rock hard" bedding of Princess past. I found it excellent. Perfect? No. I have my bed at home adjusted just the way I like it. But, comparable to a bed at a fine hotel. On top of the mattress is a foam topper that (at least for me) eliminated the split between the two bottom mattresses. No egg crate needed. I'm fussy about mattresses and I would not be hesitant to sail on the Caribbean Princess because of the mattress. Also, my midship balcony cabin had been refurbished with new carpet and upholstery. Everything looked like new. I hope your cabin is the same. However, I'm going to avoid the Caribbean Princess for awhile because of the downgrading of the buffet (I like eating in the buffet so this is important to me), as well as the propulsion issues. I have a fall cruise scheduled on the Royal Princess, and I'm very much looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josiemartinez Posted August 6, 2017 #12 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Totally agree with you re hard mattress on the Ruby. Sailed on the Ruby a few years ago and it was like sleeping on a plank. If the bed is this hard again on the Caribbean Princess, I'll be asking for an egg crate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrammySpo Posted August 7, 2017 #15 Share Posted August 7, 2017 The caribbean princess has the new bedding .we had it on emerald and love it very comfortable Sent from my SM-G928T using Forums mobile app Just got off the Caribbean princess yesterday thought the bed and pillows were very comfortable. Also liked the new World Fresh Market (Horizon Buffet) usually don't eat dinner in buffet but think we ate there at least 3 times. Thought it was very good. Did a few buffets on the Ruby in April. Didn't think it was very good at all. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliJohn Posted August 9, 2017 #16 Share Posted August 9, 2017 We also returned from a recent cruise and found the new mattresses to be excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
