Matt Posted July 22, 2019 Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 I hear the beds are super soft. There, now we can spread the rumor the beds are extremely comfortable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnetteJackson Posted July 22, 2019 Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 Any of the cruise ships, you can ask for a mattress topper as soon as you meet your room attendant. I find any newer ship the beds are really firm and the older ones dip in the middle Some ships its a egg foam mattress topper but on Anthem last week it was a nice cooling mattress topper. Dont forget you can also ask for a fan for your room - for all of you that need noise to sleep or moving air. Pen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJ1231 Posted July 22, 2019 Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 Wish I knew this last week. The bed we had on Anthem last week (obstructed balcony - 6170) was awful. 4th cruise and it was the worst bed of the 4. Radiance, Brilliance and Enchantment were all better!

Midnightcowgirl Posted July 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 Thanks Annette for the information. I am traveling with my teenaged daughter who is autistic (high functioning) and getting to sleep can be difficult for her. Her bed a home is soft so trying to get used to a hard bed could be a challenge and we have enough challenges as it is.... Matt, love your sense of humour. I won’t survive without laughing at things that come my way so thanks for adding levity to the situation. AnnetteJackson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone told me the rooms only have cots in them now to save space????? The same person also told me that the 8th slot machine port side when entering the casino from the aft always pays out at 150%.

Hi Annette, I asked Matt about the 'cooling topper' on his Periscope - he had no idea what I was talking about. I find the cabin way too hot to sleep (68 is NOT a/c! LOL) We are going on Oasis after dry dock - do you know if they will have these cooling toppers? We've booked through MEI and I've already talked to Michelle about a fan Thanks for any help!

kadmgs Posted July 27, 2019 Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 Haven't cruised on Oasis, but our experience on two other ships were extremely hard beds. As a result, we brought our own topper on our last cruise. I bought an extra large space saver bag on Amazon that came with a travel pump. We folded up our queen sized topper from our guest bed and then packed it into the space saver bag. The pump worked surprisingly well. We packed the bag in the bottom of our large suitcase. It was a lifesaver as my back cannot handle the firmness of RCL beds. I've read that requesting a topper from the stateroom attendant will only result in extra duvet covers used as they no longer use the foam ones due to hygiene issues, ie they can't be washed. We tried the duvet cover method on a previous cruise and it was still not enough. I highly recommend bringing one yourself if your daughter needs it to be comfortable. Even just a twin for her side of the bed may take up less space in your luggage. This is the bag we used... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015QO8H1S/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All ships have different toppers sometimes its an egg crate, sometimes its the nice foam ones. It depends on the ship and to be honest, it can depend on who gets them first on the ship. I have seen both types on one ship. No way to get this prior to getting on the ship Blulady 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was SO hoping when you said "cooling" toppers that there was something new that would make me cooler for sleep! Bummer! LOL Thanks again!
