Merly Posted September 22, 2016 #1 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Does anyone know the thread count of the bed linen used on the ships please? It always feels so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted September 22, 2016 #2 Share Posted September 22, 2016 It's probably around 400 or so. Higher thread counts don't automatically make a good sheet....it's sort of like sunscreen...anything over 30 SPF doesn't double your protection at all, but it DOES double the price! How nice a sheet feels depends on the type of thread...not how many there are per sq. inch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BecciBoo Posted September 23, 2016 #4 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Does anyone know the thread count of the bed linen used on the ships please? It always feels so good. I think its around 500 but the weight is the thing that makes them good. They have a fat thread. I know one thing, the sheets on Solstice on our cruise this month couldn't touch the ones on RCCL. Theirs were scratchy compared to the silky feel of RCCL's. Surprising I know, because they are supposed to be all about luxury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thread count is just one factor in bed linen - the type of thread, the weave, and the finish are very important in the overall feel of a sheet - even how it is laundered makes a huge difference or if they are ironed or not. I owned a B&B and bought a LOT of linen. It was frequently a topic at breakfast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChipLondon Posted September 23, 2016 #16 Share Posted September 23, 2016 They are nice, but they are NOT the same sheets as used on the ships. :eek: Has anyone bought these sheets? Are they as nice as the ones on the ships?:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapeCodCruiser Posted September 23, 2016 #17 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Like I said - the SAME sheet feels very different if you dry in the dryer and put it on the bed vs ironing it. The ship I'm sure has an industrial mangle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Half Pint Posted September 23, 2016 #18 Share Posted September 23, 2016 I didn't care for the sheets on our RCCL cruise. I thought they were scratchy and felt cheap. I seem to be in the minority, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
