elliair Posted October 7, 2016 #102 Share Posted October 7, 2016 She looks beautiful :D Anxious to see her in person, one month from today! We're going to be on the same cruise with you! We're on the Caribbean Princess on 10/22. Getting excited! The Royal looks beautiful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Times Prince Posted October 7, 2016 #103 Share Posted October 7, 2016 She is finish! And it looks stunning! Photos of twitter "princess U.K. Media " I have to wonder what this will look like after the anchor has been in the water a bunch of times and there is the typical rust dripping down for the anchor.

HRPro Posted October 8, 2016 #104 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Love the new design and much classier than NCL. Also very excited to hear about the center stairs. We always stay midship, and I must admit I missed the convenience of the center stairs although it was never a major problem. I've sailed on the Royal three times and once on the Regal and love this class of ship. Really missed sailing with Princess this year, but have a Mediterranean cruise booked on the Royal next June. Can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrenclark71 Posted October 13, 2016 #105 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Anyone know if Royal Princess now has a pool and stairs on deck 17 like Regal Princess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astro Flyer Posted October 13, 2016 #106 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Anyone know if Royal Princess now has a pool and stairs on deck 17 like Regal Princess? I read a post that said no small aft pool but the steps were added. I'm wondering if they added other things that are on the Regal: the theater's side aisles & extended wind deflectors forward of the Retreat Pool.

Are you referring to the wind deflectors in the Sanctuary? When I was in Regal Princess the staff mentioned Royal needed them but this was a while back. Someone in this threat mentioned something about the theatre'/ side aisles being removed for easy flow but I'm unsure if it was confirmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see them in the 3rd and 5th pictures here: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showpost.php?p=51284326&postcount=45 :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmwnc1959 Posted October 13, 2016 #111 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Looks like some extra radar domes have been added too? Good eye! I posted these pictures on a different thread discussing the exhaust extensions on her smoke stack: there are two new radar domes directly aft of the MUTS screen and one new one near the forward grouping...

pablo222 Posted October 18, 2016 #119 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Confirmed by Captain Bob Oliver when we were aboard Royal Princess last month. But some clever dicks on CC say the Captain isn't in a position to make that claim! I'm very surprised that one is able to refer to fellow posters in such a manner. The issue with your assertion is that there have been many, many posts here by folks who have been told directly by the captain, by the cruise directory, by the pope... ...which later turned out to be false. It would be rather fool hardy to read cruisecritic without some skepticism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love resorts and cruises Posted November 6, 2016 #124 Share Posted November 6, 2016 "Does anyone know if the promenade deck is now open from aft to forward, going under the tenders like the Regal?" On the 10/22 Mexico cruise, the area aft of the midship promenade is closed with "crew only" signs. It is narrow and not very inviting. I suspect it will remain closed to passengers.
