TheCruisingBrewers Posted July 19, 2016 #1 Share Posted July 19, 2016 HI everyone, I am doing some early planning for a cruise on Regal Princess next year and wanted to know what the insides look like when the cabin has its long wall on the hallway. Does anyone have an explanation or photo, it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FraudBroad Posted July 19, 2016 #2 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Hi Nancy! I sailed in a "sideways" inside on Royal last year. Can I just say it's one of my favorite cabins ever? One wall is the bed with two night stands on either side. The other wall is a long desk/dresser combo with mirror and the TV. Behind that are wide, deep shelves plus the normal cabinet with shelves and the safe. Across from that is the closet, divided into two sections. We actually had MORE storage space in our inside cabin than my mother had in her balcony. The bathroom was just the same as the one in her balcony. IMHO...sideways cabins rock :) Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alaska05 Posted July 19, 2016 #5 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Thanks, Pam. As always, you are a wealth of knowledge about all things Princess and can usually come up with a picture to answer people's questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoCruisers Posted July 19, 2016 #6 Share Posted July 19, 2016 We had one of these sideways inside cabins on the Royal this past February. It was great and we are staying in another one on the Regal this coming February. As you can see in Pam’s pictures, there is a space along with the small bedside tables on each side of the bed. This is extra space that isn’t found in the normal inside cabins. Granted it isn’t a lot of extra space, but it was enough to make the room seem slightly bigger. Also, the desk is longer and more usable. We loved the sideways inside cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven_&_Daniel Posted July 19, 2016 #7 Share Posted July 19, 2016 We love this layout. We sailed in one of these cabins on the Royal and will be in one again soon on the Regal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riclop Posted July 20, 2016 #8 Share Posted July 20, 2016 They are the best, much more storage then balcony rooms and much cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky TGO Posted July 20, 2016 #9 Share Posted July 20, 2016 I stayed in one and would do it again. They are called Sideways cabin. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribill Posted July 20, 2016 #10 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Some of this type cabin have beds mounted on the wall for a third and fourth passenger. If there are only two of you, you probably want to avoid the cabins with the beds sticking out from the wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare donswife Posted July 20, 2016 #11 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Is the layout similar on ships other than the Regal and Royal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribill Posted July 21, 2016 #12 Share Posted July 21, 2016 (edited) Is the layout similar on ships other than the Regal and Royal? On the Grand class ships the closets have doors on them in the sideways cabins. Edited July 21, 2016 by caribill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GweninTX Posted July 21, 2016 #13 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Love these cabins! More room too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare donswife Posted August 6, 2016 #14 Share Posted August 6, 2016 On the Grand class ships the closets have doors on them in the sideways cabins. Thank you. We might take a 4 night next winter with friends, and might try an inside cabin for the first time. These look a little less claustrophobic. I know HAL has some nice big inside cabins, but they don't do the 4 night trips we are considering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iriemon Posted August 7, 2016 #15 Share Posted August 7, 2016 We always try and get one of those rooms. We have had it on the Royal and the Regal and have it again on the regal again in January. The ony time I dont have it is when they offer me a really great deal on a balcony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camofwilliamsburg Posted August 8, 2016 #19 Share Posted August 8, 2016 We stayed in one of these, and found it be much more spacious with that layout. The only drawback was I felt I was an arms length stretch from the door and felt that people could hear me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMM34667 Posted August 8, 2016 #21 Share Posted August 8, 2016 I had one on the Royal and did like the cabin. On the negative side is you walk right into the cabin. Mom hated that and preferred the other setup where you walk into the closet area. I would be out later than her and as quiet as I tried to be coming in she often woke up.

cruzrbachoua Posted August 9, 2016 #22 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Yes you can.Tony Tony thank you. When we have had the normal inside cabins we have just tucked it in the open closet at the back...but if there are doors it might not fit...we will see if ask the steward to remove it.
