Are the new beds installed on the Regal Princess yet?

Hi everyone,

 

We're looking forward to our Canada/New England cruise on the Regal Princess next month. Does anyone know if the new beds have been installed on the Regal yet? Do they live up to the hype?

Does anyone know if the new beds are already in the club class mini-suites on the Regal and Royal?

Princess advertises them as being available to all full suite and club class mini-suites.

It's a fairly new ship.

As noted on pp, Regal's will be in 2019. But have used the new bed on the Emerald last year. It was a completely different experience from the previous, especially the pillows. We were satisfied.

I am glad to see this thread...

 

2019?

Wow, that seems so far out...

They were rolled out like a year and 1/2 ago???

We had them on our sailing last Spring. No complaints! : )

 

I wasn't assuming that hard beds (that will be, like, 4 years old.) would be an issue when we are planning to sail the Regal. But, might be...

Any hope at all that they will start replacing beds on the Regal any sooner?

No hope?

 

Maybe we could find a way to stop somewhere to get a nice mattress topper.

Just as in food, people have different preferences in beds. (Why else would Sleep Number beds still be in business). We had the new beds on the Caribbean Princess and we really liked them. Not so much the pillows.

All I can remember was that when we sailed the Ruby, pre-bed changeover.... I had amost forgotten about the issue with the hard beds... and DH and I actually like a pretty firm mattress... So, we get to our cabin, and the time comes that I 'plop' down to sit on the bed... THUMP.... ouch...... Actually jarred my poor bones!!!! We then requested a so-called topper right away. It helped a little.. but much.

 

Sorry, but I don't care about the rare preference... a bed as hard as a wooden platform is ridiculous.

Princess knows this. Thus the greatly hyped NEW princess bed.

 

I wish that they would just change-over the last of these ships already.

Regardless of the "new" mattress rollout.........

The Emerald supposedly had new mattresses installed already. There were still posters that said they experienced old mattresses onboard when they were all supposed to be "new".

Throughout the fleet it's an ongoing process changing out mattresses onboard.

This will not change anything.

There will still be mattress changeouts on the Regal between now and 2019 and all other ships in the Princess fleet.

It's a fairly new ship.

but the beds in inside rooms on Regal were simply awful. I hardly slept since I was in a lot of pain. Even my husband thought the beds were bad. We had a better experience on Caribbean Princess after Regal sailing.

P.S. We are not elderly. Just 40.

Don't know about new beds, or old beds. But I do know the our bed on Royal in January was the most comfortable we've experienced in about 40 sailings on variuos lines.

We just sailed on the RP, had a mini-suite (not Club Class). We have an excellent mattress at home, and the RP's was better. Even on the first night, when we weren't yet exhausted from sightseeing.

I was impressed with the new beds! What a difference from the sagging, huge middle hump mattresses from before! The mattress is definitely firm but it didn't make our shoulders hurt or cut off circulation to our arms. The biggest difference besides how nice and flat they are is the pillows! Wow, what a difference. I still needed 2 of them, but they were much better!
