boa toting mama Posted January 22, 2013 #1 Share Posted January 22, 2013 How many blankets are on the bed on the ships? (Specifically we're sailing on the Liberty in March). I am very cold when I sleep, even in mid-summer. Is it simple to ask for extra blankets? I often have 4-6 blankets on our bed. Hubby only has less than half that many on his side. I just fold blankets in half and put extra on my side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sargent_Schultz Posted January 22, 2013 #2 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I don't remember any. There is a duvet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etwright Posted January 22, 2013 #3 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I can't remember for sure. But I bet it wouldn't be a problem to request more from your room steward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very excited for our cruise, but in addition to the warmth, I sleep with extra blankets for the weight. I often kick the extras off in the night but I fall asleep under several blankets. It's nice to know I'll likely just be able to ask and get them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWolver672 Posted January 22, 2013 #6 Share Posted January 22, 2013 If I remember correctly if there is a sofa bed in your cabin, there will be extra blankets in either a drawer under the sofa or in the closet for that bed. I have read on here that some people ask for extra pillows from their room steward so I'm sure they will have extra blankets too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beachbum53 Posted January 22, 2013 #8 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Although it's not very "romantic", instead of adding extra blankets, you could wear some flannel jammies or a sweat suit to bed. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mn_isla_girl Posted January 22, 2013 #9 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I sleep with extra blankets for the weight. I often kick the extras off in the night but I fall asleep under several blankets. Have you heard of a weighted blanket? It's supposed to be great for a sound sleep. They say the optimum blanket is 10% of your body weight, so if you are 150 lbs you'd buy a 15 lb blanky. They are spendy though. Google it.....:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elleusion Posted January 22, 2013 #10 Share Posted January 22, 2013 My daughter sleeps with a weighted blanket. I remember taking it with us on several cruises. After 911 it was truely a hassle to travel with as hers was made with small BB Pellets. Some I have seen are made with treated beans or rice but I knew someone that invested in one of those and it couldnt be washed and also smelled funky after a month. You could contact your local school special ed department and see if there is anyone locally that makes them. Also can order on-line but then they get pricey but well worth it...I'm sure your room steward will take good care of you with an extra blanket. :) Stay Warm!!!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mizzouaholic Posted January 22, 2013 #11 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Just ask your room steward and they will get you extras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just fold blankets in half and put extra on my side. LOL this sounds like my twin! I sleep with a sheet, a vellux blanket, a heavy comforter, and a down comforter on top of it all :eek: Plus I wear sweats to bed! I am always so cold! I think there is just a light sheet on the bed. As soon as I enter the cabin, I turn up the heat! DH yells at me, but I can't help it. :o I think I am also going to ask for blankets. I can't stand to be cold. Also - warning - take sweaters for public spaces on ship. I am not kidding you, one night we went to the comedy club and it was so cold in the lounge on deck 5, you could have taken a gallon container of ice cream and it would not melt! :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually sleep with those and 4-7 blankets on the bed, down to 3-5 blankets in the summer of Colorado. I'm one of those frozen hands / frozen feet types even when it's very warm outside.

Google it.....:) They're great, I don't have one, but I'm a special ed teacher and I've seen them used/used them with some kids who find them invaluable at school (the small sizes). You're right, they are spendy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
