Floski Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 I loved the bedding on freedom last year I did too. However, this year's mattress was awful. Throw in a back that was giving me fits, and I didn't sleep well at all. I was pretty frustrated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I do think I prefer a hard mattress over a soft one so perhaps I never really noticed. One thing to consider is Voyager was just refurbished so in theory, she should have new bedding. Perhaps that would be more ideal for you? Hello, I know this is an older thread, but here goes. My husband and I just came back from a 7 day cruise on the Harmony of the Seas. I LOVED the firm bed. I know mattress comfort is incredibly subjective and what works for one won't for another. I realized by the 2nd day that I wasn't waking up with the same neck and back pain I have at home! We had an ocean balcony stateroom. We spoke w/RC today as we want to buy a "duplicate" of that bed and were told that the beds in the balcony rooms are different from the non-balcony rooms. Does that sound right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamjohnbamber Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 I wonder if you can bring your own mattress top to put under the bottom sheet? Worth asking... Bedding on Majesty was on the firmer side but still very comfortable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darlene Strickland Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 We have done 13 cruises , with several different lines. Last year we did our first Royal Caribbean on Navigator. Although we loved so much about the ship and experience, the rock hard bed was a deal breaker for us! We asked for an egg crate topper but we were told that they will not supply them for sanitary reasons , and gave us two mattress covers to roll up instead to soften the bed. They were an improvement but lumpy and still did not provide the cushion needed. The only answer would be to bring your own cover , but we feel that the cruise is expensive enough that the ship should provide a comfortable mattress . When I returned home, I went on line and found tons of complaints about these rock hard mattresses that are also on their newest ships!!( same supplier) ( but apparently a new one ) . Royal will lose a lot of senior customers with deep pockets over these horrible beds. We were sad as we really found so much that we liked but on a holiday you want rest . Those mattresses are so hard that you could actually end up in pain from sleeping on them . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedNoodles Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 It really must be a subjective thing. I slept better on Mariner last month than I ever sleep on my own bed. I'm so sorry to read that so many have had such bad experiences :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

packercruising Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 23 cruises and I don't remember ever having an uncomfortable mattress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAAAYTOOO Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 I have noticed the hard mattresses, too. Last year on Liberty we were in an Owner's Suite and the mattress was so hard I could barely stand it. The attendant put 2 comforters on it and it helped at first but once they got "compacted" it was just another hard layer. We're back on LIB in August and I suspect it will be the same. No, I am not bringing my own mattress topper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
