dmwnc1959 Posted December 4, 2013 #251 Share Posted December 4, 2013 (edited) On our cabin crawl yesterday one of the rooms we toured was an aft Owners Suite. Bob, now I get it. As for soot the folks booked in that room had a towel on the floor to keep from tracking foot prints on the carpet, you could see the soot in the water draining canals along the balcony perimeter, and the had beach towels on the loungers. It wasn't raining soot, the balcony wasn't a tar pit, but I could see how it would be disappointing to those who book aft facing suites and balconies for a reason.

JPEvans Posted December 4, 2013 #252 Share Posted December 4, 2013 So Dave......What is the overall conclusion of the Royal? Are all the Naysayers out there wrong or is the ship great? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IdahoCruises Posted December 4, 2013 #253 Share Posted December 4, 2013 In late, but many thanks to Dave for his great pics and posts! Bon Voyage, Indeed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmwnc1959 Posted December 4, 2013 #255 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Also passed by the Crab Shack last night. It was the first time this cruise it has been offered. Here is a picture of two regular sized steam pot dishes on the left, and the one on the right is a stream pot for Two. I'm signed up for Friday so I'll take more pictures then and double check the menu/prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IdahoCruises Posted December 4, 2013 #256 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Much more generous serving than on the Grand - and good sized crab legs as well. Thanks for all the pics....can hardly wait for more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S'villeGals Posted December 4, 2013 #257 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Thank you again Dave for all the marvelous photos - you have an excellent eye for composition. You have captured many things that I missed, or have much better shots of pictures that I took!! It is so much fun to see the experience through your eyes - your willingness to let us go along with you is so very much appreciated. Kay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homeinboca Posted December 4, 2013 #258 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Dave, I am enjoying your comments and pictures so much. I am glad you are having a great cruise after all the anticipation of going aboard. You are making me miss the Royal. We had a such a wonderful time on board this past August in Europe. Thank you for helping me re-live the moments! Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmwnc1959 Posted December 4, 2013 #259 Share Posted December 4, 2013 I'm really glad everyone's enjoying the pictures!!! :D And I'll try to get pictures of the MDR menus but the only time I have been near there was during the Emergency Drill on Embarkation Day. It's only Day 4 of a two week cruise but so far, no regrets and no major issues. Still have so much to do and experience, especially in the entertainment options. Duo Push, the Feats of Strength team, disembarked the ship today bound for Emerald Princess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dchip Posted December 4, 2013 #262 Share Posted December 4, 2013 (edited) Loving the photos. I was in a very weird "non photo mode" on the Royal, so I am really appreciative of your excellent images!!!! The piano and tripping. I can't tell you how many people we saw trip on the piano risers both in Crooners and the Piazza. There are lights along the edge but people aren't looking down!! We watched one guy almost go over the rail in Crooners. Something that is going to need attention!! Cheers and thanks again, Denise Edited December 4, 2013 by dchip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdm Posted December 4, 2013 #268 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Dave - Thank you so much for taking the time to post the pictures port side on Promenade deck. I could see exactly where our cabin is above this outside area. I think I'll keep this cabin for our Baltic cruise next summer. Thank you again.
