Cruise Beds--How bad are they?
Hi all. Okay, tell me the truth. How bad are cruise ship beds? I've got a back injury and am wondering if I should go to the trouble of bringing my memory foam mattress with me. Are the mattresses horrible or a pleasant surprise? Thanks for any replies.

Beds are usually decent, typically better than your average hotel grade, especailly on the "premium" lines. Just don't sleep in between the beds as they put 2 twins together for a double. We prefer twins setup over doubles on board the ship for that reason.
On the other hand, I am more picky on pillows. Some cruise lines uses exclusively 100% Egyptian cottons, especially for the suites.

They are definitely better than the hotels that we have stayed at in Mexico. Those are like sleeping on concrete.
All lines should offer some type of egg crate mattress. On Princess you can send them an e-mail before your cruise and request so it's already there when you board.

Beds can truly suck if you have been on memory foam
going back to box springs can be horrible from personal
experience. Check to see if you will have memory foam
if not see if your line will provide it.
If not bring a matress topper they are cheap and travel
well rolled up I do this overstock.com has deals on
3 and 4 inch toppers from $59 plus $2 shipping now.
Good luck!
