Luminosa beds

[JohnGc]

Hi guys, I have seen reports of the beds being very hard on the Carnival Luminosa. I am interested to know from you guys that have cruised on the Luminosa if it is possible to get a mattress topper. Seen a few reviews that state that you can and others have said the the cabin stewards have told them they do not supply them. I I would like to know first hand as a hard bed for a back problem is a no no. 

 

Cheers John.

I did three Luminosa cruises earlier this year, two in a suite and one in a balcony cabin. In the suite I was sleeping on the sofa, which was hard as a rock but was able to get a "mattress topper" of sorts for it. It was more of a doona folder in half than a proper mattress topper, so maybe that's the best they can offer. I found the beds in the balcony cabin to be extremely comfortable, but I prefer a firm-ish mattress. There were 7 of us across 3 cabins and I didn't hear any complaints, but no existing back issues among us either.

Thanks libby. Very helpful to know. Sounds like I may end up taking an inflatable topper that rolls up small.

I've been on the Luminosa twice and both times the beds were hard. I didn't ask for a topper though. Deck 4 category 4K interior looking at the lifeboats.

I've been on Luminosa three times this year. Each time the bed was too hard. Got a topper from the steward the first two times, but they made no difference, so didn't bother the third time.

We were in side by side standard balcony cabins on the Luminosa back in December.  We loved the beds.  So comfy for 7 nights.  Needed to request extra pillows though

Hopefully Luminous and balcony are good - I had an inside on Splendor the other week and it was the lumpiest and most uncomfortable bed I have ever had - even a 2 star motel was better. Usually beds on ships are great (though the doonas can make them a bit hot, so always ask for a top sheet).

I expected Goldilocks to make an appearance by now.

 

Toppers are good if you can get them, but mostly to help the two mattresses join as one without a drastic hollow in the middle. I usually need a trip to the chiro after any holiday, but as much as I like the comfort of my own bed, I will take whatever they dish up - whether it be too hard, lumpy, or having my feet hang out of the rounded-off bottom corner on Royal.

I just hate autocorrect with a passion - Luminosa and not Luminous!!!!

Thanks Guys. I appreciate all the feedback. Must admit I am a bit concerned that they may be too hard with my back problems. As I have a good self inflating camping mattress as mentioned in my post # 3   that is not bulky I might take that. 🙂
