lovelyladi Posted November 6, 2007 #1 Share Posted November 6, 2007 I have been on Princess and Renaissance and the beds were so hard we needed to have egg crate pads placed on them. I thought that Azamera had upgraded the bedding (as most 1st class hotels have). Now reading a report from the quest I see a complaint about hard beds. What is the story here? We are on a 12 day Journey trip on Dec 11. Do I need to pre order extra apdding Rochelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotChoppedLiver Posted November 6, 2007 #2 Share Posted November 6, 2007 "Now reading a report from the quest I see a complaint about hard beds." We're sailing Quest on 12/8, and I don't like hard beds either. Yesterday DH phoned Azamara and he was told that the mattresses are pillow-top, which should be ok.

Andy Posted November 6, 2007 #3 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Hi Everyone ! I thought the beds on Quest were wonderful, and I had some of my best sleep in a very long time. I didnt find the beds to be hard at all. Of course, this is a very subjective topic. Just my .02 cents :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotRoot Posted November 6, 2007 #4 Share Posted November 6, 2007 What I liked about the beds on the Quest was you couldn't tell it was two beds pushed together. I actually took the bedding down to the mattress to confirm that it was two beds. They have a very thick mattress pad and you cannot feel where the two mattresses touch. They also stayed together. I did not check to see if possibly they were attached. I do think maybe they were hard because I like a hard bed and I slept great. Maybe solid is a better word than hard. They do have a pillow top on the mattress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovelyladi Posted November 7, 2007 Author #5 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Ok...my concept of a great bed is the type you get at a Westin Hotel (or most starwood products)....are these in that catagory? We are on the journey not the quest. I will go anyway but I love a cozy bed and duvet with lots of pillows Rochelle (again) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotRoot Posted November 7, 2007 #6 Share Posted November 7, 2007 I know the bed you are talking about and these do NOT resemble them in anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabo de hornos Posted November 7, 2007 #7 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Cabo checking in live from Journey heading for San Andres Island tomorrow. Did someone ask for a cozy bed with a duvet and lots of pillows? All I can say is that SS 8042 has 'em, 'nuff said. Cabo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRBlizz Posted November 7, 2007 #8 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Second that - we thought the beds were super comfy. Not too hard, not too soft. High thread count sheets, a down duvet and lots of pillows made it great. I don't know how the poster who complained of hard beds likes his bed, but I like it pretty soft and it was good for me.

rocky1701 Posted November 7, 2007 #9 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Hi Rochelle, My husband and I are also cruising on the Azamara Journey in December. I just found this sight and your question. Have you learned anything else about the ship. We are from the Chicago area. Another Rochelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotRoot Posted November 7, 2007 #10 Share Posted November 7, 2007 I stick with my original comment. These mattresses do not resemble the ones at Westin hotels. I had no complaints about the Azamara mattresses; even complimented them. Yes, they have deluxe bedding and lots of pillows, but the mattresses are not like the ones at the Westins.

lovelyladi Posted November 9, 2007 Author #12 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Hi Rochelle A few of us have found each other on the Azamara Roll call board. It is not terribly active but we have started to compare notes. Rochelle (the other one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nlvc12 Posted November 12, 2007 #13 Share Posted November 12, 2007 I agree that the bedding is pretty good - if anything it may be a bit too soft. My fiance's mattress had a 'dent' in the middle, and he had trouble sleeping. I asked to have the mattress replaced, and that helped. Later on asked to have mattress pads added (which are available if you need softer bedding). There is a choice on pillows (feather vs foam) and you can get extras (I needed 4 for myself for medical reasons), plus the giant decorative pillow. nlvc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaac Posted November 14, 2007 #14 Share Posted November 14, 2007 We regularly stay at Westins and W hotels and thought the bed we had on the Journey was on par with those. Mattress, sheets, comforter were all top quality. We did have an issue with the A/C which made things a little toasty with the duvet, but once we got the place cooled down, it was perfect. Far and away better than anything we've had on a cruise ship before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
