sfbaker Posted July 30, 2017 #1 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Hi Cruisers! I am about to embark on a 20 day cruise on Encore and have a question. I have sailed on Seabourn quite a few times and have found the beds to be very uncomfortable. Have they upgraded them on the new ship? Seriously planning to pack an extra suitcase with a memory foam mattress pad to leave behind on the ship so I can get a good night sleep! Also- have they installed the launderette yet? What a bone head move to eliminate that feature! Just cause we are paying for a premium cruise does not mean we want to pay a fortune to wash our undies! thanks for the input! sfbaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

placesiremember Posted July 31, 2017 #3 Share Posted July 31, 2017 As noted in my previous thread, I thought the beds were super comfortable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colgal Posted July 31, 2017 #4 Share Posted July 31, 2017 We always request that a mattress "topper " be added as well as a top sheet- the fluffy duvet is much too warm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glorygaf Posted August 1, 2017 #5 Share Posted August 1, 2017 We too find the duvets too hot and on our recent cruise on Sojourn our bed did not have a topper. We requested a light blanket and a topper which was soon delivered and our sleeps were extremely comfortable. Seabourns beds have always been very good wish I could find a similar one here.

Shoeman1 Posted August 1, 2017 #6 Share Posted August 1, 2017 We just departed the Encore. The beds were comfortable, and we added a topper. I found the sheets to be a bit scratchy; husband was ok with the product. The suites are lovely and well appointed. The entertainment, food and service were a huge disappointment considering Seabourn calls itself a luxury line. Having sailed the 4 luxury lines , Crystal, Seabourn, Silversea and Regent I would give Seabourn bottom rank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Catlover54 Posted August 4, 2017 #7 Share Posted August 4, 2017 If by "uncomfortable" beds on SB you mean too hard, join the club. Hardest was on Odyssey, still hard but better was on Quest. Have not been on Encore but if hardness is an issue of concern, ask your TA to tell SB to reserve a topper for you in advance, to make sure they do not run out ( they can). If you do not need it, they can take it away, better than being out and having sore bones and muscles. I almost always travel with a compact blow-up Thermarest in a little case in my suitcases anyway in case a hotel bed is hard or a ship has a delay in getting me a topper even though I reserved it. If the bed is ok, DH and I used it on the rock -hard gold-black striped sofa in the suite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem quite soft (I prefer soft mattress to too hard). Perhaps they were replaced in dry dock a few months ago? Or perhaps soft to one person is hard to another.

SLSD Posted October 9, 2017 #9 Share Posted October 9, 2017 We are just home from a cruise on Encore. We found the bed to be VERY comfortable. I checked and it already had a topper on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koalapanda Posted October 10, 2017 #10 Share Posted October 10, 2017 (edited) Beautiful beds and mattresses on " Encore". In fact so supportive of my miserable frame I was exstatic. I did not need to ask for a topper on this cruise. My memory foam stayed in my case ( I travel with a small peice of memory foam - size body width length from my shoulder to just past my knee, it can be rolled to the size of a puffer jacket ) I was rested and ready for an adventure everyday. As for comfort otherwise in the beautiful cabin, every little thing was perfect including the climate control air conditioning. Edited October 10, 2017 by koalapanda ...
