L751 Posted October 22, 2019 #1 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Just wondering if anyone has taken there own pillows on board, and are they allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josy1953 Posted October 22, 2019 #2 Share Posted October 22, 2019 I have never taken a pillow but I have seen plenty of people carrying them on board over the years so I think you will be OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tartanexile81 Posted October 22, 2019 #3 Share Posted October 22, 2019 I have a bad back and need a very flat pillow so I've taken my own a couple of times now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pentlands Posted October 22, 2019 #4 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Always take my pillow on planes or boats or by car, never had a problem yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrierjohn Posted October 22, 2019 #5 Share Posted October 22, 2019 I often wonder if I should do the same, on every cruise ship I have been on 2 pillows is too high and one too low for me, and after trying all their alternatives I have never found a comfortable combination.

cabin4three Posted October 23, 2019 #7 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Yes but also take a distinctive pillow case/cover, if yours is plain white it might get mixed up with the cruise lines ones. A vacuum packaging bag can be useful, we have the type you roll up to get excess air out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annieuk Posted October 23, 2019 #8 Share Posted October 23, 2019 I always take my own pillow if sailing from Southampton. The ones on board are too squishy for me, I like something firmer. On my recent cruise on Aurora our Cabin Steward put a P&O pillow case over my pillow case - as we were on for a month - so I could have a clean one each time the bed linen was changed. I'm afraid I didn't think to bring another pillow case so I could change it! Our Steward told me it's not at all unusual for people to want to bring their own pillow. I put it in a small case along with other things like rain jackets if we're going somewhere it might be wet. It's amazing what you can get in even a small case as well as the pillow.

Pentlands Posted October 23, 2019 #9 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Pillows squah down easilly, vacuum bags make it go solid and not so easy to pack around. I always put my pillow in a cupboard each morning so no problems with mix up or anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
