Surely you mean 300? :D

[PescadoAmarillo]

Shogun, is this the Princess Live Café area, or at least the area outside of Princess Live? It looks like there's more room than the deck plans suggest.

Hi There. The photo is the area out side Princess Live, Princess Live Cafe. Folks loved those big seats.

yours Shogun

 

I called those chairs the "Alice in Wonderland" Chairs. One day, after the Pub Lunch in the Wheelhouse Bar (right next to Princess Live), after only one beer, I fell asleep in one of those chairs for an hour and had a great nap.

Nope - I think it's $3,000.

 

I pay $3,000 for a Cabana it better come with a lap dance. :mad: And why do I need a TV. If I want to watch TV, I'll go to my room. I don't need to pay #3,000 to sit by the pool and watch TV.

 

Just saying.

If I pay $3,000, I expect, not only the lap dance, but the dark, handsome dancer for the evening!!!:p

Undoubtedly, someone will pay it... It won't be me!:D

Thank you so much for posting this picture, it's just want I wanted to know. One question if you can answer, any idea if some of the remote have been disabled to prevent hooking up external devices?

Thanks Again.....:):):)

 

Bob

 

Someone asked the question to Rai Caluori and he said that personal DVD players were not allowed. We couldn't hook up our laptop to watch DVD's on the Emerald but could on the Diamond. Can't figure out their reasoning for this.

Probably not as exciting as you'd imagine, since he was only chatting. ;)

[lovevacadays]

Here ya go:

 

 

Thank you for posting the menu. I was curious about this venue. I like seafood but not sure I see enough that would make me reserve this one. However, there are a lot of other venues on the Royal I am really looking forward to once I book her.:)

 

Now that I am home, here are my thoughts. Note that they are MY opinion and mine alone and are what I experienced. Everyone will have something different.

 

Overall I really enjoyed the cruise and the ship. I had M225, an MC mini on Marina, forward of the forward stairs. Good location (unless you suffer motion sickness) as only a few cabins after that so very little passing traffic, and only a short walk to get up to Lido deck - I will post some pictures of the cabin when I get home after work. Drawback is it's furthest from Horizon court, but maybe thats a good thing!

 

Steward, Richie, was the best. Everything was there when it should have been, nothing was too much trouble, cabin kept nice and clean etc. He got a nice extra tip from me.

 

Enjoyed the Casino, Crown Grill, Princess Live, Vista lounge. More about Theatre in a bit...

 

Having the photo gallery in the Atrium has relieved the pinchpoint somewhat that happens on the Grand class on deck 7.

 

Area around Princess live is really nice with some funky chairs. No 'traffic' issues in the area. Live studio it'self was put to good use, with Q&A sessions with different crew, Princess pop star, some other events as well. It's a nice venue.

 

Sales tables are now in the area above the Casino and so again removes the chaos they produced on Grand class where they had them set up around the top of atrium.

 

Food, I thought, was excellent. Horizon court and Bistro are first class. The layout of having the serving areas across the ship ws great and with many serving areas there were no queues or crowds. Choice was excellent and much expanded over previous ships. Everything from sandwiches, salads, to 3 different roasts available at same time, curries, pastas, stews, chicken fajitas, pulled pork etc. Plates are standard round ones - not the platter type. Cutlery/napkins already on the tables. Waiters always at the ready to get your drinks for you. A definate 10/10 for this part of the ship.

 

Smoking areas, for those interested are Lido deck16 aft - next to outriggers, starboard side. Deck 7 aft starboard, Churchills and part of the casino. There is no smoking area near the pool area as on Grand Class.

 

MUTS was good, but be carefull which chair you pick as you may be obscured by a plastic palm. Best chairs are up on the next deck directly opposite the screen.

 

My new favourite drinking venue is Bellini's (sorry Vines, it was good while it lasted), especially the Royal Bellini and Raspberry Romance.

 

Not so good (does not mean I still didnt enjoy)...

Mainly Theatre. There are no drink trays in the arm rests, or anywhere to put drinks down - so don't try and applause any acts if you have a full glass - you will get wet. Seating is not that great. I found the chairs a bit hard after 15 minutes. Good bit - The waiters taking your drinks orders now have mobile terminals. They punch your drink in, and it is printed at the nearest bar and another waiter appears shortly after with your order.

 

I made one single complaint to Passenger Services the whole week. When laying out on deck 7 in the nice loungers I was suddenly drenched in cold water. The steward working up about deck 12/14 was cleaning the balcony glass by throwing glasses of water over the out side part, and guess where it goes? yup, straight down on top of whoever is standing /laying below. They need to find a different method for cleaning that glass.

 

Talking of deck 7. Yes, I know there is no real promenade deck, however what space there was, was hardly used. I dont know why really as it is quite nice and pleasant out there (ignoring my water issue) Hardly ever saw anyone out there.

 

Club6 - not sure about as I did not really spend much time in there, but they have funky light up drinks menus!

 

Edit - forgot to add, yes, I would sail on Royal again.

 

Happy to answer any questions.

 

Dave.

 

Thanks Dave. I enjoyed reading your thoughts.

 

And, thanks to Shogun as well for his posts. I have enjoyed reading this thread. It has been balanced with many positive things about the Royal and a few things the posters wish were different. My kind of thread - not all doomsday if you sail the Royal.:eek::eek::eek:

I can dream, can't I? :D

[grannylaw]

I pay $3,000 for a Cabana it better come with a lap dance. :mad: And why do I need a TV. If I want to watch TV, I'll go to my room. I don't need to pay #3,000 to sit by the pool and watch TV.

 

Just saying.

If you want a lap dance in your cabana, you better hope the cabana comes with a life raft as I toss you overboard. :-)
