QQRZZA Posted September 20, 2005 #1 Share Posted September 20, 2005 We have done a lot of cruising and are now taking longer (14 day+) voyages. HAL has greatly improved their bedding, but RCCL and Celebrity still have their tired old uncomfortable matresses. Can anyone speak for the comfort level of the mattresses on Regatta and the Oceania Cruise ships?:rolleyes: It's nice to know how the beds are when you plan to spend 1/3 of a two week cruise in it.

mike35 Posted September 20, 2005 #2 Share Posted September 20, 2005 I can't speak for the Regatta, but I'm certain that the Insignia is the same: the most incredibly comfortable mattresses of any cruise ship we've sailed on! We were, quite frankly, thrilled with their quality and comfort. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayayeff Posted September 21, 2005 #3 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Agree with Mike, I also found the beds on the Insignia to be very comfortable - sheets, pillows, duvets all good quality too. Rarely find hotel beds to my liking and as a first time cruiser I was pleasantly surprised to find the ship's beds to be so comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Druke I Posted September 21, 2005 #4 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Just off Regatta - found mattresses comfortable, but with a beading around the edge that was quite hard (I'm very tall and have to draw my knees up a bit for the bed while sleeping on my side). In the minority, I am sure, but I am not a fan of duvets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meow! Posted September 27, 2005 #5 Share Posted September 27, 2005 The mattress on the Regatta (and presumably all Oceania ships) measured 66" wide x 76" long, and there was 10" clearance under the mattress for luggage storage. There were four down filled pillows. The sheets were also of premium quality. These beds were among the best at sea, however, due to the absence of box springs, they might not match beds in five-starred land based hotels. Hope this helps.

ClaudiaF Posted September 27, 2005 #6 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Now, if you need closet measurements our Catpeople have that too I betcha.. ( just kiddin' our Meow..I know you measured them too)........;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meow! Posted September 27, 2005 #7 Share Posted September 27, 2005 We did, Claudia, and it is still available on this very Oceania column, late April, 2004. Anyone interested in detailed measurements of the basic balconied cabin is surely welcome to read it. By the way Claudia, Silversea is having a 126 day round the world cruise in early 2007, I think it may interest you, meow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just returned from a 14 day Insignia cruise. Mattresses were wonderful, as were pillows, comforters, etc. On my return home, I ordered their bedding from website (not mattress). Most comfy bed on any ship we've sailed on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boopsie Posted September 27, 2005 #9 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Just returned from wonderful 2 week cruise on Insignia. Beds were wonderful. Better than any ship I've sailed on, and I've been on many cruises. In fact, I ordered pillows and bedding (except for mattress) on their website as soon as I returned home. Now every night is like a cruise!! Have a wonderful cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QQRZZA Posted September 29, 2005 Author #10 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Many thanks for all your thoughts and observations. It's interesting that some cruise lines have neglected to upgrade their beds, while others recognize that this is am important component of a relaxing vacation (and repeat business). The HollandAmerica new bedding is so popular that they are selling the beds through one of their web sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyMe_ Posted September 29, 2005 #11 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Hi there, I tried to look up your report for April 04 and fear it may have been lost in the 'housekeeping'. If you still have the link I would appreciate seeing it. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meow! Posted September 29, 2005 #12 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Thank you for your interest in our reports. It is still on this very Oceania column, the last but one page (page 22 on the topics list), under the topic "Barcelona to Venice April 10-24, Parts I, II, III and IV" by meow! Exact measurements of the basic balconied cabin is in Part I. Hope that you will enjoy the long reading, and it will be a good "pass time" for you .. meow!
