Pillow Menu

[FSU Girl]

What exactly is the pillow menu? I'll be in concierge for the first time coming up and was reading on here anything to do with concierge since I don't know much about it. I came across a pillow menu. Is this something you do ahead of time and select a special kind of pillow to use? Or you do once you're on board?

You can likely let your shore side hosts know. Generally you can select, regular, hypoallergenic, foam. And if you need like 50 pillows for building a giant fort.

We were given the pillow menu when we met our stateroom host. They had a pillow for snoring, foam etc. Pick the one you like. Nice perk!

I like the 50 pillow option to build a fort, that made me laugh.

Great thanks!

oh man this is awesome! I want to build a pillow fort on our May 2018 concierge cruise!

But what type of filler is best for thus said pillow fort- Foam for the exterior walls and down for the floor cushions? Perhaps maybe a few contoured pillows to give your fort's roof a dome effect?
So many options to consider...

I wish we had thought of a pillow fort- time to start saving again...

Wait, Pillow Fort? Well now! This changes everything. Time to change the ressie to Concierge. STAT.

When I saw "pillow menu" as a subject for discussion I thought two things:
1. New item on the desert menu at Cabana's.
2. Here comes yet another ad for My Pillow. Yikes!

However, the idea of picking pillows, with a blanket or two, to recreate Fort Wilderness in our stateroom would make our grandkids most happy.

Love this thread, makes me smile!

Congratulations!

You just single-handedly won the "Is concierge worth it?" debate.

It IS, if they give you enough pillows to build a fort with.

Another one of life's Truth's discovered.

So I'm guessing only concierge gets the pillow menu? Are contoured memory foam pillows available to non-concierge cruisers? That could save me some packing space if I don't have to bring my own.

As a rule, no. Only Concierge gets the menus and special pillows.

That said, there have been reports of people asking for and getting them - but IMHO it is putting your stateroom host in an awkward position to ask as they do not want to say “No” to you, but they really are not supposed to get the special pillows for you.

That seals it. I'm going to cruise concierge solo and build a pillow fort so I can order all my meals room service from inside it.

Makes sense, and I'll definitely be packing my own pillow now. I'll need it for my pre- & post- cruise hotel stays anyway. But it was a nice, fleeting thought that I might not have to pack it, LOL!
