JKrise Posted November 24, 2015 #1 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Just off grandeur of the seas from a 10 day cruise. The beds are absolutely the worst I have ever slept on. Talking to others on board they have the same opinion. Mattresses sink in the middle, are lumpy, and the pillows are the thinnest and flattest I have experienced. Be prepared for a horrible nights sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

time4u2go Posted November 24, 2015 #4 Share Posted November 24, 2015 OP, did you mention this to anybody in the housekeeping department? If so, what was their response? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKrise Posted November 24, 2015 Author #5 Share Posted November 24, 2015 OP, did you mention this to anybody in the housekeeping department? If so, what was their response? Yes, we did mention it. The response was 'I am sorry to hear that. Unfortunately we do not have any replacement or spare mattresses on board. Please feel free to include your issue in the post cruise survey you will receive via email. ' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted November 24, 2015 #6 Share Posted November 24, 2015 We also had our "worst mattress ever" on Grandeur OTS ... but that was years ago. Thought they would have been replaced by now. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigeldelarue Posted November 25, 2015 #9 Share Posted November 25, 2015 We just got off the Vision and the mattress was also unbearable . I had requested a egg crate and they don't have them anymore due to bed bugs I was told :( I did fill in my survey today so hopefully someone reads it .

JKrise Posted November 25, 2015 Author #11 Share Posted November 25, 2015 This was the second trip on GoS in which the mattresses were awful. It is really disappointing to pay for a vacation with your hard earned $$$ and get correctional institution quality pillows and a cheap road side motel mattress. Twice. Have more cruises booked with RCI but DW and I are debating whether to keep them or not. This last trip on GoS was a real let down in terms of quality and overall presentation of the product. More to come in a cruise review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAHA Posted November 25, 2015 #12 Share Posted November 25, 2015 We sailed on Grandeur on October 24. Two days into the cruise, they were replacing the mattresses in at least some of the cabins on our floor. The Junior Suites got new mattresses that are pillow top ones - still somewhat firm, but much better than the one we had the first 2 nights. Hopefully, they are doing this ship wide and for all cabins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruzinlady1947 Posted November 25, 2015 #14 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Never really had trouble with any of them and I've been on the Grandeur many times. Just lucky, I guess. Nice to hear about the Junior Suites getting new ones, even though we've not experienced bad mattresses. We have our first Junior Suite on December 9. We almost always sail inside cabins. I'll let you know. I always sleep better on a cruise anyway. Sorry you were disappointed and they couldn't remedy the situation for you.

dixieva Posted November 25, 2015 #15 Share Posted November 25, 2015 (edited) As much as I love Grandeur I have to say the mattresses are horrible! On one cruise we did get a new mattress delivered a few days into the cruise. We were also on board for the Oct. 24th cruise and we did see them replacing mattresses but not in our cabin. We were in a D1 balcony. One bed was ok and the other had a big dip in the middle of the bed. Hopefully they are replacing all of the mattresses! And no it will not stop me from sailing Grandeur. I really like that ship and it is convenient for us to drive to Baltimore. Edited November 25, 2015 by dixieva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbonz Posted November 25, 2015 #16 Share Posted November 25, 2015 On our first and only time on that ship we had the same problem and was told they can't do any thing for us. In all fairness never had a problem on the explorer in all our cruises always good mattress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebonybee Posted November 25, 2015 #17 Share Posted November 25, 2015 The mattresses are the WORST. Plus the beds appear to be lower to the floor. You feel like you are in a youth hostel. We did have an egg crate topper placed on our bed but they were all out for our companions. As much as like cruising out of a home port, Grandeur beds are the reasons I don't do it.

bubba83 Posted November 25, 2015 #18 Share Posted November 25, 2015 some like them firm some like them soft, it think its hard to please everyone with mattresses. Its not like you can request your mattress type in your booking :) Its just like how some people love the Windjammer and others hate it.... I am always sore a few days into vacations until my body adjust to a mattress that isn't my own. And besides, if I don't sleep well in our room I can always catch a nap pool side :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karma5 Posted November 25, 2015 #19 Share Posted November 25, 2015 I recently got off Brilliance of the Seas in a Jr suite and the mattress was lumpy and uncomfortable. I was told it was recently replaced and this was a new one……….. So be it……….. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debitoo Posted November 25, 2015 #20 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Legend 15 day PC cruise last April and had the worst nights sleep ever. Bed was HORRIBLE. No egg crates available even though I requested one 9 months out. Steward put extra padding on the bed but it was no help. Jewell 7 day CA Coastal last month and I slept like a baby. I guess it varies from room to room. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dixieva Posted November 25, 2015 #21 Share Posted November 25, 2015 It is not a question of the mattresses being too hard or too soft. I could deal with that. On Grandeur they are just worn out! You have to experience it to know what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love a soft mattress and struggled on my recent AotS cruise as the mattresses were rock hard. That in itself I could have dealt with, but the mattresses were either very cheap, very worn or both. You could feel the springs. I don't know anybody who likes to feel the coils in a mattress lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to experience it to know what I mean. I experienced it. It's really bad when the beds are separated because that "crater" in the middle when the beds are together, becomes the side of the single bed. The high side of the bed was against the wall so when we had a VERY rocky night, I slid right out of the valley and ended up on the floor.:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dixieva Posted November 25, 2015 #25 Share Posted November 25, 2015 I know exactly what you mean! I am hopeful that by the time our next cruise comes around in April 2016 all of the mattresses will have been replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
