AtlantaCruiser72 Posted October 8, 2016 #17 Share Posted October 8, 2016 And no one will use them if our recent trip on the Emerald is anything to go by. I have yet to be on a ship, any ship, where the stars are high usage. There are enough people who will use them that it helps take pressure off the elevator system. I applaud Princess for listening to their passenger feedback and correcting this design flaw on the Royal. I thought they had learned this very lesson from the construction of the Grand all those years ago, but guess not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only tend to get the lift last thing at night when retiring to cabin as usually exhausted after a long day of relaxing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron the Rev Posted October 8, 2016 #19 Share Posted October 8, 2016 The way to go would be to install escalators instead of stairs ,then to give the fit and able a free pass to the gym so that they could learn to walk again.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuldalai Posted October 8, 2016 #20 Share Posted October 8, 2016 (edited) You will not find cruise lines putting in escalators as the floor footprint on each deck is too large . Firemans poles between levels for pax wishing to go down a level would be very space efficient !!!! Edited October 8, 2016 by kuldalai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pablo222 Posted October 8, 2016 #24 Share Posted October 8, 2016 After weeks of speculation, arguments and insults, tomorrow we will find out about the infamous midship stairs on the Royal. I already found out, by asking someone working onboard during drydock. Even posted it here. Construction started during the last revenue cruise, so lots of people knew the answer several weeks ago.
