Nice photo spread showing the ship.

 

To anyone that has tried a sanctuary cabana, are those chairs and couches comfortable?  The old decor had a "L" shaped sofa so both the wife and I could be stretched out comfortably.  I'm not seeing being that comfortable on that sofa.  

 

Thanks

framer

we had a cabana for a couple of days (afternoon’s) on the crossing.  We really enjoyed it.  Furniture was comfortable, but as you say, different than the other Royal-class ships.  The sofa is definitely a one person lounger.  Service was very good.  Overall, space is much more modern, as you can see on the photos.

You’re right...looking back through my pictures... Regal has the full Teak set up.   Looking for my photos of Majestic, but I don’t have any of the balcony on my phone.

Thank you for the pictures!! I am looking forward to the room. Furniture on the balcony looks kinda small for the size of the balcony. Were there no full-sized loungers? Any furniture other than the 2 chairs, footstools?

Thanks again!

Janet

No full size loungers.  Just the two chairs / ottomans and table.   I keep hoping they put a hot tub on this giant balcony!  😂  wishful thinking... 

Yes, Singapore!  Osaka, Japan was a great port too.  

Same layout as other Royal-class ships...just the new decor package.

Would those of you on the Sky mind posting what your Muster station is (the letter) and the location? There's a bunch of us going on the 1st & 4th what are curious where we'll be. It show us the Muster station letter in the Medallion App, but, not where it actually is.

Thanks (I hope)...

we have Station A6... Princess Theater.   Best one...everyone gets a seat. 😂

San Diego Sue, we thought the shows on the Caribbean Princess were probably the best quality And talent we Have seen on a ship.  
 

Has anyone asked the cruise director why there are so few Production shows?  I’m on the Sky in January and hoping this isn’t the case the case.  

I asked him a couple of days ago.  5-Skies was supposed to premiere tonight (Thanksgiving), but it’s not...maybe tomorrow?  They will be adding one more production show in April next year...I forgot the name of it 😒.   Sky Princess will have 4 shows... Rock Opera, 5-Skies, Jim Henson’s Inspired Silliness (Vista Lounge show) and the other one that will be added next year.  

I don’t remember seeing this mentioned before... was impressed to see real chinaware plates and bowls in World Fresh Marketplace tonight on our first visit there.  No more plastic!  Also...much nicer stemware in the main dining rooms 🍸🍷🥂👍🏻.   Minor things, but make for elevated dining experiences.   
 

also thought Rock Opera was a great show tonight!

hopefully just a rendering.  I dont really like that wall piece, nor see the purpose of it.  It also kinda makes the room feel tighter. I don't see how it adds anything. An end table right there would be more more practical.

‘This video has a quick clip of a mini suite and those walls are not there and you can see the side table next to the sofa.  Maybe this cabin is a one-off and those walls hide some ducting or something?

Hi all, I haven't been on the board for a while.  Does anyone know what the adult retreat pool will really look like yet?  The deck plans show the pool with cabins on the sides, so will there be much seating actually around the pool?  And it looks like there will be seating on the deck above, much like by the main pools.  And I'm wondering if they will have the shaded areas like they do on the retreat pool on the Royal/Regal ships?

Found this actual photo during construction....

We booked our Jan 2022 cruise on the Discovery today and it showed up in our personalizer this afternoon, so they must have resolved the issues. 

I guess so...I see it now as well.

I have had several cruises not show up for a couple of days in the past.

My Discovery booking is also not showing up yet.

You have proof you booked it?

 

yep!   Have the booking confirmation email / pdf file.  

We booked Discovery Princess yesterday on Elite Day but it still hasn’t shown up in the Cruise Personalizer.   According to our Princess Cruise Vacation Planner, the Tech Dept. told her that is has something to do with the Discovery not being loaded yet in My Princess Account.  They are working on it and it should show up soon.  Posting this just in case anyone else is “in the same boat “...so to speak 🤔🤣🚢⚓️

The email I received for the 10/7 elite booking day was for Europe, Caribbean, South America, Mexico & CA Coastal cruises.  The price spreadsheet by lowest cabin category shows those cruises between the 11/3/21 inaugural up until May 2022.

 

Whether they’ll all be available to immediately book we’ll soon know the answer.

ok, thanks.  They don't put loungers on those aft-facing balconies?  Seems there would be space.

 

So the suites that are at the aft corners, are any "better" than others?    Don't care so much about the cabin itself--probably all the same--balcony space is what I'm after here.  😃 

The Baja and Dolphin deck aft suites are the larger balconies that have some overhang from the deck above.  Marina and Riviera also have larger balconies but you can look down on those from Lido above.   This is Royal, but a Regal is pretty much the same (except for the aft pool they added to Regal). 
 

I’ve brought one with us on every cruise...including most recently a couple of weeks ago on Royal.   Never been a problem for us... 🤔

Losing Vines is a bummer.... but Crooners fans will be happy, as it’s back on Enchanted. Lose one...gain one!  🍷🥂🍸🍹🍾

In answer to the OP question... READY TO GO!  😁😁

Enchanted Princess April 2021 - 21 day Ft. Lauderdale to Rome and Sky Princess August 2021 - 11 day Baltic.  🚢⚓️😎

Our last cruise was just 39 days ago, and our 2 future cruise deposits each, are already spoken for.

We loved our most recent 13 day trek from Fort Lauderdale to Quebec so much, that we just booked the October, 2021 Southbound version.

It’s all their evil master plan... 😈 We just walked off a Royal Princess yesterday and we spent our FCC last night on a 21-day Ft. Lauderdale to Rome on Enchanted in April 2021. 😂 cruse you Princess Cruises...

Hope everyone made it safely home! We were in the second walk off group and San Pedro was an absolute mess! Lines for cabs, shuttles, Uber, and much confusion! After an hour wait we finally got the princess shuttle to the airport! Lots of delays with our flights and finally made it home by 2am! Sigh!

 

Still a fun trip and we had a blast!

You’re right...total chaos once you got outside!  Our car was at a garage at LAX, so we used a car service (Blacklane)...so glad we did.  Taxi line was insane and we heard that Uber/Lyft we’re dropping rides once they realized where the pickup was.   Still a great trip...Vancouver is such a beautiful city...even in the rain.  We drove up to Whistler on Thursday before the cruise in the rain and it was a blast.   Having sailed many times on Regal and spending 21 days on Majestic...Royal Princess is a great ship with an excellent crew!  Looking forward to Sky TA in November! 🚢⚓️👍🏻😎

Another photo mined from Instagram. Not sure what room this could be. Any guesses?

 

Inside Stateroom is my guess...

On Royal now...as good as any other ship...including Majestic and Regal.  First time on Royal and the ship and her crew are great!  We would definitely sail her on again. Two 👍🏻 Up!!

DW & I are to be boarding the 12 day Alaska.  It's only two days til we board, any big enough advantage in doing the Medallion now?  I know that a quick walk thru if PAX's have the physical medallion but that won't be the situation for us.  Is there a shorter line for those who did all the at home prep for the Medallion but could not get it mailed to them in time?

In Vancouver yesterday, they had two lines. The one that had a sign indicating for passengers that received their Medallion at home, also stated “or have your OceanReady pass” and showed the pass printed and on a phone.  It seemed that they were only directing folks that had their Medallion with them to that line.  Everyone else was sent to the other line regardless if you had your OceanReady pass printed or on your phone.  We were there early and they started check-in at 9:45. Not sure what it was like, or if it was different later in the day.
