edp-70 Posted January 23, 2015 #1 Share Posted January 23, 2015 We are in the process of booking our Christmas 2015 cruise on Royal, and we always get 2 adjoining rooms, balcony, mid-ship. This is our first Princess cruise, so I was looking at deck plans for the Marina, Riviera and Aloha decks, and I don't see any markings that indicate adjoining staterooms. I read somewhere that Royal only has 25 pairs (50 total) of adjoining staterooms. Are any of them mid-ship, balcony staterooms? Thanks, Elana.

If you have a Cruise Atlas, the deckplans there show the doors between connecting cabins. It appears that the adjoining cabins are only on Aloha, Baja, Caribe and Dolphin decks. As for midship ones, there are some mini's on Baja that look like they are midship as you can get... B324-B326 and B325-B327. C509-C511 deluxe balconies are also fairly midship. The adjoining balconies appear to be either forward, mid-forward or aft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had never heard of a Cruise Atlas, but I found it online. It is perfect and shows me the adjoining staterooms rooms very clearly. Thanks!!

sunsetbeachgal Posted January 23, 2015 #4 Share Posted January 23, 2015 if you need any more help drop a line on this thread. We sailed on the Royal right after she came out, and DD and family had connecting inside cabins. I made a list of them but if the Atlas shows it, go with it!

LOL Sunset, I have just made a complete list of all of the adjoining cabins to hand to DH when he comes home. Dealing with the travel agent and booking the cruise are his jobs. I have the jobs of flights, hotel, rental cars :) Edited January 23, 2015 by edp-70 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And do realize that even if you don't have connecting cabins with an interior door, the balcony doors on most of cabins can be opened to create adjoining balconies.

Rare Essiesmom Posted January 23, 2015 #7 Share Posted January 23, 2015 What you are asking for is connecting cabins, those that have a door that opens between the cabins. Adjoining cabins are side by side, but do not have a door between connecting them. We figure out what you want, but if your husband or TA asks the Princess rep for adjoining cabins, he/she may not realize that you want cabins that connect with an interior door. So, to avoid disappointment, ask for connecting cabins. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2+2 Posted January 24, 2015 #8 Share Posted January 24, 2015 So most balconies partitions slide open to become adjoining if desired. So which ones do not open? And how do you go about getting them opened/unlocked. Sent from my SM-T230NU using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how do you go about getting them opened/unlocked. Sent from my SM-T230NU using Forums mobile app Most open but random ones don't, have not seen a list of which ones don't. Within the partition is a small door about 30 inches wide that swings open and locks in place. Ask Stewart to open it for you, he has a special key. ;) Edited January 24, 2015 by Colo Cruiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-T230NU using Forums mobile app The ones at the firewall, noted by interior hallway doors on the deck map do not connect on the balconies. There will also be a jump in the cabin numbering at this break, e.g. The 500's change to 600's. If you're in the same hundred group and adjacent there shouldn't be a problem (not all hundred breaks are at firewalls though). Ask your room steward to open it.

2+2 Posted January 24, 2015 #11 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Thanks. So the partition swings out of place rather than slides? Can you close it yourself each night. Sent from my SM-T230NU using Forums mobile ap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On other cruise lines we have sailed with, connecting cabins are adjoining, and side by side cabins are adjacent. Maybe it's a Canadian thing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first thing we did was ask our stateroom attendant to unlock the balcony door between us, and he said that they don't do this for safety reasons.

metairiegal Posted February 14, 2015 #14 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Do connecting cabins on Royal/Regal connect thru the cabin or via the balcony? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metairiegal Posted February 14, 2015 #16 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Connecting cabins have interior doors between the cabins. That is what I was afraid of. I find noise from the other cabin come right under the door. I definitely don't want one of those, no GTY for us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can not open and close it. Sent from my SM-T230NU using Forums mobile ap Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I537 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
