Spursgirl Posted January 4, 2018 #2 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Good news for me. Perhaps I won't need to ask for two egg crates on my June Quest b2b. Enjoy the rest of your cruise Marinaro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare uktog Posted January 5, 2018 #3 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Standard practice in quality establishments to replace mattresses every 2-3 years. They get a lot of wear and tear and more critically their fire retardance reduces with use. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parkslopegal Posted January 5, 2018 #5 Share Posted January 5, 2018 We found the bed to be very comfortable. The pillows are large and fluffy. I asked for one more and found that to be perfect. The sheets are nice and cool too. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of whether they have been replaced I have always found the beds fine. I had no issues in October. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leo_On_Geo Posted January 6, 2018 #13 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Nice to know, we are on board next month. How are the pillows? The pillows are king-sized and too large for my preference. They take up too much bed real estate. Each cruise I ask repeately for regular-sized pillow. Sometimes they are found, sometimes none available. They need more.

I haven't met a king size pillow that I like! ;p Since we are flying Southwest, We may just bring along our own! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior officer rotations have been changing frequently with the addition of Pursuit and are likely not final at this time. Carl has left Quest and will focus on the updating of Pursuit.

They get a lot of wear and tear and more critically their fire retardance reduces with use. Sent from my iPhone using Forums I’m curious: In these days of fewer smokers, and no smokers inside the cabins on Azamara, is fire retardance of mattresses as much of an issue as it used to be? In the old days when it was more common to smoke in bed, it was vital of course, but does it still matter as much now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mare s. Posted January 10, 2018 #23 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Wow...so we will be on Carl's last Quest voyage. So sad, but it feels like it's come full circle. Carl was the Captain on our very first Quest cruise back in 2010. It will definitely be party time next week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
