caribill Posted March 15, 2011 #28 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Looks like a jogging track behind the MUTS screen. Also the sports court. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiBreeze Posted March 15, 2011 #29 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Please, please, please tell me they will have finally changed the interior colors of the ship and the decor of the cabins with this new class of ship. I'm so tired of that dated 80's pink and blue southwestern look. I hope the cabins are more spa like and elegant! Black, grey, platinums, golds, sleek finishes. < I hope, I hope> :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidari Posted March 15, 2011 #31 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Only Odd thing is the Square shape to the stern base which Fincantieri have done with the P and O Ventura which makes it look really odd. As for Oasis it is so Big you do not notice the 5,000 and odd passengers onboard... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockymountainsparky Posted March 15, 2011 #32 Share Posted March 15, 2011 So far it looks good. I'll just keep an open mind.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roe2ship Posted March 15, 2011 #33 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Beautiful! I LOVE it! ROYAL PRINCESS.....nice name! Looks a bit like Celebrity Solstice class ships. I love Princess but will admit, there are a few similarities to the Royal Caribbean ships….first it was the Piazza with entertainment first introduced on the Crown...... now is the cantilevered design and the sanctuary resembles the solarium on the Oasis. Looks like the MUTS screen is a little larger.....wonder if it will be louder??!!;):D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruiseAdict218 Posted March 15, 2011 #35 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I love it! I would deffinatly cruise on her and the new features look awesome! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasperdo Posted March 15, 2011 #36 Share Posted March 15, 2011 A few differences I noticed: 1) No Skywalkers 2) Only one main pool area 3) No wraparound outside Promenade 4) No above the Bridge viewing area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loonbeam Posted March 15, 2011 #37 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I was hoping they would announce inside cabin 'windows' with camera feeds a la Disney. Still could happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hubofhockey Posted March 15, 2011 #38 Share Posted March 15, 2011 A few differences I noticed:1) No Skywalkers 2) Only one main pool area 3) No wraparound outside Promenade 4) No above the Bridge viewing area The adult pool near the gym/sanctuary is much bigger though. The one issue with that upper pool now is lack of seating. But both main pools, seaparated by the island, are now viewing areas for MUTS. I wonder if people will like that. :confused: The idea of a Skywalkers, with that view, was a good concept. But if you don't like disco, well, then Skywalkers fall short. I'm good with the different concept. I wonder if they will add another specialty restaurant since there will be expanded dining areas on the piazza level.

Tiffany's mom Posted March 15, 2011 #39 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I want to cruise on a ship not a floating hotel. It's too big. I loved the original Royal Princess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorontoTL Posted March 15, 2011 #40 Share Posted March 15, 2011 It is exciting that the Royal Princess is finally under construction and that we're finally being thrown a few tidbits of information!!! I've been checking the Princess site almost daily to try to get any new info and then got the email today. I'm very excited. I really like what they are showing so far. The promenade deck is still there so that is good, I really hope that keep it a fully wrap around deck and not cut off at the front like on some other lines' ships. I guess there won't be a covered pool area which is a bit disappointing especially on those cooler days on some itineraries. But these are early days yet, much more info will be released eventually, it is all very exciting don't you think? I hope the cabin designs are changed a bit, it would be nice to have a small sofa in each cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasperdo Posted March 15, 2011 #41 Share Posted March 15, 2011 The adult pool near the gym/sanctuary is much bigger though. But it looks like it is strictly for Sanctuary users. It replaces the Lotus Spa pool which was open to everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gertz Posted March 15, 2011 #42 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Well, they're saying 3,600. Fincantieri was saying in their press releases that that was the MAX passenger load (which would be a very good thing!). Others have said that it is the double occupancy number. We'll have to wait and see for the definitive answer. Just do the math and you will have the answer. It is only my opinion now but I think it is going to be just an other overcrowded bucket. But I am willing to be proven wrong. And if I am wrong it will be the most spacious ship Princess has but I wouldn't bet on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kahluatoo Posted March 15, 2011 #43 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Looks awesome... love the sky walk bar! Would be interesting if they had more of those stacked? I am sure the one will fill up so to have more might be beneficial. Palm trees are awesome too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recyclelady Posted March 15, 2011 #44 Share Posted March 15, 2011 The video looked beautiful...but am I one of the only ones that hates seeing the trend in bigger and bigger ships???? I love the smaller ones and found the Coral to be just about perfect. If I am not mistaken, these are the numbers of pax I think each ship will hold: Tahitian-680 Pacific-680 Royal-710 Coral-1970 Island-1970 Dawn-1990 Sea-1990 Sun-1990 Golden -2600 Grand--2600 Star--2600 Sapphire-2670 Diamond-2670 Crown-3100 Ruby-3100 Emerald-3100 Caribbean-3100 Royal (new)-3600 I'd like to see more of the ships with capacities under 2000.

RickEk Posted March 15, 2011 #45 Share Posted March 15, 2011 By the by... when you go to Princess' Flickr pages for the new Royal Princess , you can click on Actions, then All Sizes and you can get a much larger rendering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorontoTL Posted March 15, 2011 #46 Share Posted March 15, 2011 But it looks like it is strictly for Sanctuary users. It replaces the Lotus Spa pool which was open to everyone. I don't think that the only Adults only pool will only be available for Sanctuary users. They didn't state that it is part of the Sanctuary, just that it is near the Sanctuary. I could be wrong and only time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No - you are definitely not alone. I think the Coral and the Island are the perfect size and they are my favorite ships. Bigger ships, more people, fewer pools??? Not sure about that!

jtcoolk Posted March 15, 2011 #48 Share Posted March 15, 2011 What the heck.....the artist's renderings and the video have only been online for a short time, and already there are towels and paperback books saving the best loungers! That's funny!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdrl Posted March 15, 2011 #49 Share Posted March 15, 2011 The new Royal Princess does look beautiful but huge. I too am not so thrilled that Princess like every other cruise line is thinking bigger is better. Pretty soon none of the Princess ships will be able to get through the Panama Canal. I'm not sure we'll ever cruise on the new Royal, we still haven't cruised on the Caribbean Princess because it's so large. Anything bigger than the Island Princess seems to big to me.
