New bedding--schedule of ships?

[moki'smommy]

Does anyone have a schedule of when the new bedding will be installed on the various ships?

 

Yes, after having a "worst bed ever" situation, it might well influence what we will or will not book.

Caribbean Princess, December 2015. One bed was OK, but the other bed was awful.

 

OK, I'm still not finding Diamond Princess. Either I can't read the above post, or they are hiding it. In fairness, I did check the website first and found the announcement that said phasing in between now and 2018,but not the specific schedule as posted.

Not a fan of the new beds, far too soft for me.

That doesn't sound encouraging.....guess we'll see when they are on board.

We had the new mattresses on the Emerald - thought it was "just right!"

The subject should read "InterestiNg Info"

 

Princess really informs us on that page! :D

I LOVE the new beds. I slept great. Thank you, Princess. I'm happy. Of course, my next cruise is on the Island Princess and I'm worried I'll be suffering the whole time. :rolleyes:

We were on the Caribbean Princess in Feb of this year and we had the new bed. I'm pretty sure we also had the new bed n the Grand in May. Crown next month, can only hope.

Next schedule is march28 to April 05,2017 I guess they will do new beds then.

Its a long rollout for these new mattress's over a couple of years.

In the meantime the current mattress replacement on all ships chugs along and although a mattress may be new it may not be the new line yet.

I guess with the Dawn being sold it lets this one out. I see it wasn't listed.

Thanks for posting. Looks like we will not see the new beds until next summer. Our cruises later this year and early next year are on ships with the old beds. I have no problem sleeping on the old beds so I am not sure what these new beds will do for me. I like the harder beds.

I'm going to be on the Royal before they get the new beds. Will I be able to get an egg crate mattress topper if I find the current bed too hard?

Yes just ask Stewart. :)

Thanks. I will definitely hit Stewart up if I need to.

 

(Does Princess have any female cabin attendants? And if so, what are their names? Stewart-ess, perhaps?) :D

According to the schedule, the Sun Princess was supposed to have the new beds...not so.:mad: My husband had to tolerate a 'sprung' bed for 24 days in May. My side just had what looked like a comforter/protector and it didn't fee "luxurious". Princess must have run out of them for our cabin, because the passengers we spoke to had them.

I've found that eggcrate toppers are too often broken down but the newer pillowtop mattress pad covers are much better. They're a limited number of these better pads & if you need one request it ASAP. ;)

 

When promoting the arrival of the Royal-class ships, Princess stated that every cabin would have an improved pillowtop mattress. I've sailed 6 weeks in that class of ship & while I feel the mattresses are an improvement, they weren't luxury to me but hoping the next version will truly be luxurious. :)

Although the schedule for the Carib Princess says March 2017, I Know the mattress was the new one. My wife was so impressed she wrote down the manufacture and wanted to order one for our daughter. The new mattress wasn't for sale at that time in the US.

That's encouraging to know that their "Please note this schedule is subject to change" disclaimer also means they can be available sooner than later. :)

Request, through your TA, a pillow topper before you sail. A bad bed can ruin your trip if you have back problems. We too had the worst bed on the Caribbean Princess in 2014.

In the past I've directly contacted Princess to add an eggcrate however when requesting the greatly improved pillowtop pad it was not possible to request it in advance.

 

Now I check the mattress as soon as I get to my cabin & when necessary ask the cabin steward to add it when possible. Since supply is limited the steward grabs one to put in our cabin until the 1st evening's turndown service.

 

Yes, a bad mattress can ruin a trip & my worse mattress had crater in it with serving trays stacked between the mattress & the metal mesh support but it didn't help. :(
