Mid-ship stairs on Royal
The Princess fleet drydock schedule shows the Royal as having had mid-ship stairs opened to the public above deck 7. The current deck plan doesn't show these stairs. We haven't been on any of the Royal class ships yet, and are considering a cruise on the Royal. But we don't want to be mid-ship without close stair access. Anyone know the real story? Thanks.
The Grand Princess, which first sailed on May 26, 1998, does not have a public center staircase above deck 7.
The deck plans (online and in the Cruise Atlas) always have (and still do) depicted the stairs as being there for the passengers.
If the deck plans for the Grand Princess have not been corrected for 19 years, I would not hold much hope for the Royal Princess plans to be updated.
