mystic51 Posted May 10, 2008 #1 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Could someone please tell me whether or not the Crown Princess has upgraded bedding? Mattress etc. Also, do they have a "pillow menu".. specifically down pillows available. If they do not have upgraded mattresses, could someone give me the email contact at Princess to request an egg crate in advance. I'm not sure if it matters, but we will be in a balcony cabine, not a mini-suite.. Thank you for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willysgrandma Posted May 10, 2008 #2 Share Posted May 10, 2008 The Crown was the first ship built with the new bedding as the ship standard. I don't recall a pillow menu but you can request extra pillows. The bedding and pillows were very comfortable. You won't need the egg crate - the bedding is extremel comfortable. It is the only cruise ship I've been on that the bed was more comfortable than my bed at home. If you think you need one when you get there, you can simply ask your steward for it. We had faxed a request for the egg crate and they didn't provide it anyway, but we didn't need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jb008 Posted May 10, 2008 #3 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Just got off crown a week ago today :cool: Bedding was on the firm end of the spectrum, but perfectly comfortable (better than what Star had 4/07). Pillows were also very comfortable imho. DW has 2 down pillows at home, and never made any comments about the pillows in the cabin. I don't think you'll need an egg crate cushion unless you like your bed really soft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruzbabe Posted May 10, 2008 #4 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Mini suites there was a pillow menu- not much too choose from though. And in regards to the beds- hated the mattress! We have a sleep number bed at home, so I guess I alittle spoiled by my mattress! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We found the beds to be really comfortable and slept like babies:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystic51 Posted May 11, 2008 Author #6 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Thank you for your help... I also take my pillow with me since I can not stand a foam pillow and always use down. However, with the new policies with airlines, I would prefer to use the space in my suitcase for something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellbon Posted May 11, 2008 #7 Share Posted May 11, 2008 I was on the Crown with Bruzbabe and had lovely down pillows. 4 of then only use two. Matttress was fine and i have a thermopedic bed at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With so many airlines charging for a second bag, you would be wise to leave your pillow at home unless you take it as a carry on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
