How comfortable are the beds on the Dawn?

[cmoose]

Are there different mattress in suites as opposed to mini suites? I have read some reviews that say the beds are super comfy and others that say they are hard as rocks. Just wondering????

[Demonyte]

Yes, beds in full suites (categories starting with letter S) are different from lower category cabins, mini-suites and down.

 

We have never had any problem with any of the beds on NCL ships, suites or non-suites.

Can't speak for the suites but the aft cabin we just came from had a brick. The steward did bring an extra foam pad which made it bearable.

We had a wonderful, comfy bed in our Dawn balcony cabin. Had insomnia for several weeks prior to the cruise and slept like a baby, all night long, from the first night.

Do yourself a very big favor and, as soon as you board the ship, stop by guest services and request an egg crate mattress topper be put on your bed. The ship only has so many and they go very quick. You can thank me later!

Thanks for the info. I am not the greatest sleeper so having a comfy bed is important to me. I will take the advice and get an egg crate topper. :)

Has NCL changed their mattresses? I found the mattresses superb on a Jade Mediterranean cruise a few years back, and tore the bed apart to figure out what I was sleeping on. It was a German brand, but after doing some research, found out that it was a solid latex (not memory foam) mattress. Evidently they are more popular in Europe than the states.

 

Long story short, I bought one when I got back home. Latex is about twice as expensive as a good quality innerspring mattress, but I have never regretted the decision.

I've never been in a suite and all my NCL beds have been great.

Good to know, thank you!

It has been a while since I was on the Dawn (2005) in a balcony , but it was the best mattress I have ever slept on. We have since been on the Jewel twice (2011 and 2013) in mini-suites and those mattresses are a close second best.
