Royal acknowledges too hard mattresses?

[fla gang]

I was just on the Enchantment and the mattress was the worst one in all of our Royal ships!

[emoji30] I’m used to NCL super comfy beds. Yikes.

This there just goes to show you that it's impossible to please everyone. Most people are happy about getting softer beds and then there are 2 people with bad backs that wanted and liked the super hard beds. It's just the way things go.

Yes, it’s impossible to please everyone, but that’s not what this shows. This is them not trying to please anyone and using the fact that done people like it as an excuse. There’s no real reason they couldn’t offer people a choice.

Offer a choice? Like choosing Inside or OV? Beds together or apart? Hard or soft?

Personally, we liked the new mattresses.

I hope they meant having egg crate pads available.

Sailing on Explorer in a few weeks. Does anyone know what firmness their mattresses are?

 

Thanks for any information.

I looked at those today, too, but opted to get a queen size 2-inch memory foam egg-crate from Amazon. $38, free shipping.

 

We will experiment with packing it, but I'm thinking we can re-compress it into a suitcase and that will be it's "home" in between cruises.

[SPacificbound]

Since 2015 we have taken our own 3 or 4 inch gel foam onboard with us and just leave it when cruise is done. This is only on Royal Caribbean ships.

 

I have enough arthritis pain, I don't need any more.

I like firm mattresses also, but I still request the mattress topper as I don't like the crease in the middle of the bed when you put the 2 beds together to make a king. The mattress topper takes care of that problem.

On every cruise, I'm so tired from having fun that I could sleep on plywood. I've never had trouble sleeping on a cruise ship, no matter how "hard" the mattress seems.

 

Our GS on Liberty OTS in 2015 had a mattress that felt like we were sleeping on plywood. It was horrible. That's the only time I remember not being comfortable on a cruise.

There is always the floor

If I were to sleep on the floor I would have to spend the rest of my life there.I cannot get to the floor .

This could depend on the cabin and is about as subjective as food.

[marci22]

I booked RCI solely because their mattresses feel like concrete .If they have a softer mattress I shall no longer cruise with them.

 

I have spinal stenosis and every disc in my back and neck are herniated.i can only sleep comfortably on concrete.

 

You should be good to go.

[marci22]

I was on Anthem two years ago with the concrete mattresses. They were awful. I complained onboard and also on the survey and they did give me a generous FCC for it.

 

Two recent trips on refurbished AD and while the beds were firm, they were not like concrete. I slept ok although it still could have been a little softer imo.

After reading all of this conversation, I have also decided to order the Klymit sleeping pad and will take it on our cruise on Majesty the end of October. I always email a request for extra padding due to my total hip replacement and it makes the bed bearable but I'm thinking the added padding will make it perfect for me!;) At least, I hope so!:rolleyes:

[Guinness1000]

Went on Navigator last Christmas and it was by far the WORST bed I've ever slept on on a cruise. Robbed us of our sleep every nigh!

[SilkySal]

After hearing so many complaints about the cement hard mattresses, maybe RCI should capitalize on this and sell new packaged mattress pads on the ship!;) Or, maybe I should not have given them that idea!:o

[tugboat]

I may have been the one to start the use of these pads! I posted about this a year or two ago. I was so terribly uncomfortable on one of my cruises, it was either find a solution or stop cruising with RCCL. In desperation, I ordered one on Amazon (I think in 2015 or 2016.) It has made my cruise sleeping experience so much better. I have been on at least 3 cruises with my Klymit. My husband loves a hard bed and begged me to get him a Klymit too! Now we both cruise with these.

 

They easily pack into a carry-on and are re-usable. There is no need to buy a foam pad for every cruise that only gets disposed of. They are very easy to inflate and very comfortable. I started with the standard size/thickness, then moved up to the Luxe version. It is much more comfortable IMO. I have attached photos of the regular (green) and the Luxe (grey) packed so all who are interested can see just how compact they pack up. When you put two side-by-side, they fit Royal’s beds perfectly. They even have the curve on the end. I put them under the mattress pad. I don’t need to adjust or inflate them all week. The Luxe is $74 and the regular is $54 on Amazon as of today.

For once it’s not @Biker19 brining up the old threads from the past. The search function does work for those that might wonder.

I have one similar that I've used on several cruises.  Be sure to put it under the mattress pad.  It eliminates any noise factor from moving around on it, and keeps it in place.

I love concrete mattresses
