I can't sleep with foam pillows. Will I be able to ask our Room Steward to bring us some feather pillows? Princess had feather pillows available, but I learned the hard way that Carnival does not. I'm really hoping I don't have to pack my own feather pillow for the trip. If not, I'd be really tempted to take the Wal-mart shuttle in Ketchikan to buy a feather pillow and just leave it on the ship.
Also, are the room safes similar to what Carnival has? Do you just use any sort of card with a magnetic strip to lock and unlock it?
Can't believe that we fly up to Seattle in just 9 more days!

You will have a large selection of soft, medium or firm pillows. I doubt that are actually feather as HAL uses all non-allergenic bedding but they have that sort of consistency.
Most guests rave about HAL's mattresses and pillows.

Yes -- you can ask your cabin steward for feather pillows.
Lordy -- it has been a few years since we were on the Amsterdam but I do believe the safes are the ones where you use any magnetic card of your choice. I just use an old AAA card.

Feather pillows I got were quite small! (I know what you mean about foam shredded pillows.) I will be bringing my own feather pillow next time.
Our room safe let you select a series of four numbers to lock it.
Have a great cruise!

AZ that safe sounds more like what I am used to on the other lines...not sure if I understand the swipe card type...so it is a digital safe with 4 numbers then? We will be on the Oosterdam.
Thanks!

Oosterdam definitely has room safes that open and close according to four digit number each guest selects for themselves.

Glad to hear I'll be able to get some feather pillows! I'll sleep good tonight.
Thanks!
