howard6933 Posted September 22, 2006 #1 Share Posted September 22, 2006 We'll be going on the Lirica in december. How are the beds on the ship?? We were on the Costa Mediterrania last year and we had to ask for an "egg crate" mattress which turned out to be fine. I hope we have nice comfortable mattresses on Lirica.

Been on Lirica & Opera I find them to be pretty hard, asked for 3 or 4 extra blankets which put on bed as a pad worked out great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grimpil Posted September 22, 2006 #3 Share Posted September 22, 2006 We also needed a few blankets on our mattress on our Feb 06 cruise. Very hard and lumpy. Hopefully changed on the last dry dock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiorita Posted September 23, 2006 #4 Share Posted September 23, 2006 We were on the Lirica about a 1 and 1/2 years ago and the beds were wonderful. Never slept so well on a cruise before. We had the bed made up into a queen. We had a inside cabin. I do not like hard beds, this one was perfect for both my DH and myself. Hope this helps. fiorita:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magwa Posted September 24, 2006 #5 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Probably something which varies from bed to bed & different people prefer different types of bed, so just ask for something else if you don't like what you get. Every ship has a store of mattresses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joanz Posted September 25, 2006 #6 Share Posted September 25, 2006 We sailed on the Lirica in April and the beds were not very comfortable. Maybe I just missed my pillowtop at home but the Lirica beds were very hard and felt more like mats than mattresses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodbender Posted September 26, 2006 #7 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Hello, I am going on the Lyrica for my first Cruise in Feb 07, Can you tell me if it would be best to take us travellers cheques or sterling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howard6933 Posted September 26, 2006 Author #8 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Hello, I am going on the Lyrica for my first Cruise in Feb 07,Can you tell me if it would be best to take us travellers cheques or sterling? My guess would be to take travellers cheques. Since you will be sailing the Caribbean, you can probably exchange your travellers cheques for US dollars which are accepted in almost all of the Caribbean ports. Another alternative would be to exchange your money into some US dollars before you leave home. You would probably get a better exchange rate than you will get on the ship. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any other tips you might have would be much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forecastle Posted September 27, 2006 #10 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Yes Howard is right. Get US dollars. The "Bank" on ship has very limited hours,plus exchange rates not too good. You can also draw cash from casino cage on your sign and sail card.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
