britichick Posted June 19, 2013 #476 Share Posted June 19, 2013 i saw quite a few people dancing in the atrium, it was in fact my favourite place to sit. It looked like a nice place to dance too. the regular balcony cabin had a shower gel and 2 in 1 shampoo conditioner on the wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ga Peach Posted June 19, 2013 #477 Share Posted June 19, 2013 To those currently onboard the Royal: any word on your stop in Istanbul? Curious as to whether another port will be substituted. Thanks, Ann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richc78370 Posted June 19, 2013 #478 Share Posted June 19, 2013 The lack of an aft pool causes me a lot of hesitation to ever book this ship. We are not big fans of MUTS (Movies under the "Sun") since the constant blasting of noise during the day detracts from the ability to relax with some music, read, etc. So on many Princess ships those who want some peace and quiet are normally banished to the aft pool. But alas, this ship has no aft pool which means finding a quiet deck chair just became a more difficult task. Hank My understand is the the Retreat Pool is an adult only area and they do not charge you for this area. The cabanas, yes, but not the pool area. Is that correct? :confused: No MUTS noise there. :D Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WannaCruise365 Posted June 19, 2013 #480 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Thank you for this thread, I noticed the bottles in the shower with shampoo etc are there no longer the small bottle amenities? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare JimmyVWine Posted June 19, 2013 #481 Share Posted June 19, 2013 My understand is the the Retreat Pool is an adult only area and they do not charge you for this area. What is Princess' definition of "adult" as it pertains to The Sanctuary and Retreat Pool areas? 17? 18? 21? I assume that since the "Youth" activities are for passengers 17 and under that an 18 year old would not be relegated to the kiddie pool and could hang with his/her parents in the Adult areas. Any idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chamima Posted June 19, 2013 #483 Share Posted June 19, 2013 You are almost there. Thanks billco!!! So, I right clicked on the picture and then clicked on "view image info" and then copied that and pasted it into the "insert image". (I have a Mac if that makes a difference). What did I miss that I didn't get a full size picture? And again, since we keep re-posting that photo, if Shogun or anyone else on the current cruise has the time please look down the aft center to check whether those center balconies extend all the way to the middle or have a dead space between them.

Thank you! there was a small tube of lotion in the standard balcony. To be honest it stopped me from hoarding them.

Carolyn R Posted June 19, 2013 #487 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I know chef Alfredo Marzi is on the Royal now but can anyone tell me who the head chef on the Royal is? Also, any familiar head waiters in the dining rooms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astro Flyer Posted June 19, 2013 #490 Share Posted June 19, 2013 definitely, it wasn't particularly wonderful for ladies hair in my opinion. My wife doesn't like the eucalyptus toiletries & brings her own items...do you know if the body wash, shampoo & lotion are eucalyptus scented?

#1winelover Posted June 19, 2013 #491 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Out of curiosity (cause I don't recall it from my (nor my friends previous cruises) do the cards change from cruise to cruise? Meaning how do they know that a card is from a previous sailing? Not looking to take advantage of a situation, just hadn't noticed that they changed... I love those things. I always have one with me when I board the ship (from my previous cruise which may be as long as a year+ ago from a different ship) and have never had a problem using it!!

CLGcruiser Posted June 19, 2013 #492 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Finally got our guarantee room assignment and I'm nervous this is one of the rooms that can be seen from the seawalk. Not too happy if it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juakkers Posted June 19, 2013 #493 Share Posted June 19, 2013 My wife doesn't like the eucalyptus toiletries & brings her own items...do you know if the body wash, shampoo & lotion are eucalyptus scented? The shampoo and body wash/shower gel seemed to me to be the same scent as before but the body lotion is no longer eucalyptus scented. It has hardly any scent at all really and is fairly innoffensive. It comes in a tube, not the old style bottle. It was fairly thick and in my opinion much improved from the old stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course you don't get the wake view but one can't have everything. A quiet retreat for reading and relaxing without MUTS, etc. is important to many.

Dragonqueen Posted June 19, 2013 #495 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Hi Carolwdw, I'm afraid I can't do Dave's arrow thingy, but I hope that the one he did for me will help you, I am on Dolphin, 2 decks directly below you, so where Dave has put my number D429, is exactly where your cabin is. I am hoping that because we are round from the pointy bit of the hump we should be sheltered from sight of anybody on the seawalk, I have been taking note of all the photos & non have actually shown our balconys. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonqueen Posted June 19, 2013 #496 Share Posted June 19, 2013 This might give you a better idea of the view YOU will get, A437 is above you & 2 cabins nearer the aft Picture of Seawalk taken from the balcony of A437 on the starboard side of Royal Princess (Credit miss9iron) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
