Which way do you like the bed to face on a cruise?

[ijkh]

Head of bed toward bow?

[Essiesmom]

Since I often cruise in insides or OV cabins, I just want the head of my bed NOT to be under the window/back wall. EM

[marshhawk]

I marked your third choice, and am now thinking how my cabins have been set up, over all I like my feet towards the stern, head towards the bow.And I just realized that when I am on starboard my feet have been facing bow, port side, my feet are facing stern.

Personally as long as my bed is comfortable I could care less the direction it's facing...Once my drapes are closed it doesn't matter ;)

Either way is fine for us.

Away from the door.

Since you really can't FEEL the way the ship is moving, it doesn't matter to us at all!

[Keith1010]

With all of our cruising I never thought about this until around three years ago when someone mentioned it to me. But it is not a factor in what room we choose.

I have had them both ways as well as port-starboard aligned. The fact that I am on the ship is the important part.

[OCruisers]

It really does not matter to us in the least. :)

I really don't care because chances are that I will change it if I don't like the way it is.

Ditto! I never sleep so well as I do at sea. :p. I've even looked at the Royal Caribbean bending collection when we were last talking about a new mattress. But unfortunately though it is affordable, it doesn't come with a room steward to make it up and turn it down every day. :cool:

You move the bed from one wall to the other :confused::eek:

[Krazy Kruizers]

It doesn't make any difference to me which way the bed faces.

[ShantanuThakur]

Not sure I've noticed a huge difference. But I like being near the window.

[picomullet]

In all our cruises except the last our bed faced either bow to stern or stern to bow. However, our last cruise we had an IS and our bed was port to starboard. I must admit I liked that the best. The rocking was more natural to me.:o

[SeagoingMom]

I prefer it mattress side up, feet side down. :D

[Dcoy]

My preference is head board towards stern so that when I sit in bed, I'm looking where we're going, not were we've been. Like sitting on a train, don't like going backwards.

 

Of course it doesn't matter with an inside cabin but I'm spoiled and always book a balcony.

 

If my headboard is on the bow side, I'm forced to spend more time on the balcony. :D

 

I do wish there was a way when looking at deck plans, you could determine which way the bed faces.

This, LOL as long as I'm sleeping on the top, I'm good to go.

[sound_guy0918]

Towards the mirror on the wall...?!?!?! :D

[Kentchikan]

DW and I always sleep on the same sides of the bed that is I always sleep on the right and she on the left.

So I like it when the bed in the cabin has the windows on my side and she likes it better when they are on hers.

Head of bed toward bow?

For me it is more a matter of how the cabin is set up. Inside and Ocean view- the head is normally away from the door. Floor space in the cabin (beds apart if traveling solo) is more important than the direction.

 

For all other cabins - it is mostly a matter of .... can you get around the bed to the balcony!

 

In anycase - any day on a ship is better than a day home cleaning.....
