Becrisler Posted May 18, 2021 #1 Share Posted May 18, 2021 (edited) We are in the process of selecting our rooms (4 cabins) and wanted to know if anyone can tell us what this white space is behind interior cabins M124 and M125 on the Regal Princess? Specifically if it's use would disturb those in those two cabins. I've searched for videos of the hallway and can't seem to find the answer.

nini Posted May 18, 2021 #2 Share Posted May 18, 2021 It could be EVIL! We learned the hard way to not book an inside cabin like this! It was an engine room, steam pipes, etc. LOUD all of the time. But in the front, could just be storage. We do not book inside cabins anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wineglass Posted May 18, 2021 #3 Share Posted May 18, 2021 On a different ship( forget which one) there was a similar space across from our outside cabin. It was a crew only work space and stairway. No noise, but it was across the hall from us. Crew were regularly pushing carts and such in and out of there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skynight Posted May 18, 2021 #5 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Housekeeping storage & work area, plumbing for the Retreat Pool two decks above, service access for electric, plumbing, HVAC. Notice that the space is on every deck all the way to deck 5 and probably below that. I would not select cabins M124 nor M125. Select a cabin with cabins adjacent on both sides, cabins above and below, and if you don't want to bump into 3rd and 4th berths cabins that are only for two.

getting older slowly Posted May 19, 2021 #6 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Something very white, and machine which goes ping.... Generally service/storage areas, sometimes or Hvac equipment If your cabin abuts the white area, yes you may get some noise, if it is across the hall not really... Also try and search for a review of the cabin numbers you are interested in... ( ie cabin number / ship name ) Cheers and good luck Don 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aus Traveller Posted May 19, 2021 #7 Share Posted May 19, 2021 My guess (and it is a guess) is that it is crew stairs. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Italy52 Posted May 19, 2021 #8 Share Posted May 19, 2021 We were on the Royal (sister to the Regal) and stayed in M117 --- SO noisy. There was banging that could be heard at night --- didn't know if it was from an elevator, dumb waiter or something. All I know is that when we got back home from our cruise I put the cabin number on my "bad cabin" list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nocl Posted May 19, 2021 #9 Share Posted May 19, 2021 (edited) If my memory is correct the floor plans will show that open space (Next to M124 and M125) going down each deck. I believe that it is air handling equipment and ducting. Edited May 19, 2021 by nocl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That feature leads me to believe it is an HVAC "battery" space, where the fans, filters, and cooling coils for the fresh air supply to cabins and public spaces are located. Almost no traffic to those spaces, and then only during the day (vast majority of engineering crew are "day workers"). The only noise would be the running fans, but that would be a constant, and really not noticeable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtnesterz Posted May 20, 2021 #11 Share Posted May 20, 2021 There is an adage here on CC to avoid being next to a white space on the deck plan. We've been kept up at night with sawing and banging behind an inside cabin. A lesson learned the hard way. I get that when purchasing four cabins it's a lot more money, but consider an obstructed balcony. You'll find these on the Princess website listed under inside cabins. Look at the free section of cruisedeckplans.com to find a cabin with an acceptable view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highly unlikely, most crew stairs are co-located with the pax stairs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No disrespect given your credentials but IIRC from the Ultimate Ship's Tour, there are forward crew stairs there (may be other stuff as well) as we used them (it was raining so they took an inside route through the area where the entertainment staff has their cabins to get to the line handling deck). I believe the forward facing oceanview rooms below the bridge are occupied by bridge officers (any cabin on the earlier Royal-class ships that has a window but no balcony is a staff cabin) and the stairs gives them bridge access without going back to the first elevator bank. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chengkp75 Posted May 22, 2021 #15 Share Posted May 22, 2021 I would say that any crew stairs up forward would be in the area where there are no inside cabins, behind the cabins the OP is interested in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john watson Posted May 22, 2021 #17 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Given proximity to the bridge my theory is crew cabins and a corridor. Regards John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
