I'm not sure why you're concerned about any of that stuff with a mid-aft location. Motion is generally minimal there and noise and vibration issues are more prevalent farther back and down.

 

My concern with the mid-aft suites on Royal class ships is the ridiculously small balconies. They're almost insulting to someone who has spent a lot of money for a suite. 4 feet deep.

Jim, thank you for the informative information.

We always book a mid-aft cabin near the aft elevator bank.  This just seems to be where we end up on every ship these days.  We have never noticed the engine noise or particularly rough ride in choppy seas.  Mid ship low is the best location for choppy seas although many times even on a TA the seas were not that bad.  We have been on several AK cruises and never had high sea problems as the ship in or near the intercoastal waterway.  I do not believe the OP has anything to worry about. 

Thank you for the informative information.

I have a mid-aft penthouse suite on the Royal in December. I can let you know how it was when I return. I had a mid-aft balcony on the Regal and didn’t notice any noise or vibrations.

Thank you, I'm looking forward to your cabin review. Hope you have a fantastic cruise. 

Hello fellow cruisers, 

I'm interested in booking a mid-aft cabin to get a suite on Royal Princess for an Alaskan cruise.  However, I have concerns about the mid-aft location.  For any of you that have had a mid-aft cabin can you please share what the motion, engine noise, and ship vibration is like in this cabin location? 

Thank you 

Thank you

Hello fellow cruisers,

I am researching Alaska southbound glacier cruise on Royal Princess and am wondering if anyone has sailed in the penthouse suite R604.  I'm prone to motion sickness and am concerned about its mid aft location, however the extra large balcony has me questioning how much movement/vibration is felt in this room.  If anyone has cruised in this location, please let me know.
