20 plus cruises near various elevators ( DW in a wheelchair so difficult  it's to negotiate corridors ).Noise " what noise" no problems. Have a marvelous cruise.

 

Thanks for that info!

Thanks for the replies.  I am worried about hearing the constant ding ding ding of the elevators!

Has anyone had a cabin very close to the elevators?  Can you hear the constant dinging of the elevators in the cabin? 

And, is there noise from people gathering/waiting for the elevators?

Thanks to everyone for the replies.

E706 Doesn't look all that obstructed actually.

 

Wow - that looks great.  Thanks for posting.

Thrak, I always appreciate your comments.  Which would you go for - the Lido inside or something like this obstructed view on Emerald?  Or, is this a no brainer for an obstructed view?  I was just thinking Lido was more convenient, but light in the room is a major plus!

Emerald Deck near the aft stairs (but not more than a few cabins behind them) is one of the most convenient cabin locations on the ship. I have been in either E701 or E705 on four cruises. Definitely worth the big premium of $1/pp/pd extra over forward.

 

As for Lido deck insides, many of them are under very noisy areas of the Spa and fitness center. It sorta looks like L236 is under the changing rooms so should not have any late night or pre-dawn cleaning or maintenance keeping you awake. Many people find it well worth giving up any sunlight in the cabin in exchange for being able to walk straight onto the Lido deck at a fair price. If this is you, L236 should be fine.

Thanks for that info.  Just wondering, in E705, was there any noise from elevators?

Please help me decide which to choose on the Caribbean Princess for a 1 week Western Caribbean cruise:

Would you rather have an inside Lido cabin, L236 to be exact ($765)  OR

various obstructed view cabins on Emerald deck forward ($754) or aft ($762)?

Pros/cons?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the info, everybody.  We're booking it!

I have to wonder why you would revive a thread that is 8 years old rather than starting your own thread. This is from 2011...

I stated first thing it came up from a search.  Sorry the thread was too old.

And, I have to wonder why I continue to post my questions here.

On the deck plans,

There is a box to check for connecting cabins.

 

 

Wow.......tough crowd.   🙄

I know, right?!

I tried checking the box for connecting cabins, which always works great.  But, for some reason, it isn't working for the Lido deck cabins.

We prefer Riviera deck (Aloha deck on some ships), aft. Cabin #s R736 to R744 are 2 passenger cabins. The "back door" to Lido deck is right there. Step out the door, go up 5 or so steps and you're at the aft pool. Go up another set of steps, you're at the Outrigger bar, walk through the doors, you're in the Horizon Court. Perfect location (at least for us)!!

It's quiet. Not under the pool. The only noise we hear is the occasional slam of the door and the sliding of the loungers when the crew is setting up/taking down the loungers. None of the noise distracts from the great location.

 

It's like having your own semi-private balcony.:D

 

 

In R736 on the Caribbean Princess, is there a problem smelling cigarette smoke in the hallway or when you step out by the Outrigger bar?

Did a search and found this thread.

We are thinking of booking L236 on the Caribbean Princess.  Does anyone know if this is a connecting cabin?  (Don't want one, so I want to be sure!)

Chocolate breakfast? details please

The last day has a chocolate breakfast in the buffet.  Many, many chocolate goodies offered along with the regular buffet offerings.

Wow! I was beginning to think we are the only people who feel that way. We have tried multiple types of souffles on Princess cruises and they have all been exceedingly bland and boring. I've read so many posts from people who love them I kept trying the souffles but never found one that "did it" for me. My wife feels the same way. I guess it's a good thing that people like different things. (More crème brûlée for the rest of us!)

I'm not a soufflé person either.  I really don't get them. 

But, I love crème brulee and also the white/dark chocolate mousse cups served in the atrium (but not there on the last 2 cruises) and are also served at the chocolate breakfast!

Another favorite thing are the almond croissants that are served in the atrium for breakfast.  So delish!

Myself and I assume many others, want an unobstructed and clear view in scenic areas.

 

The Sanctuary view is through blue colored windows, so you do not see the natural colors of the scenery if you observe from there.

 

The Royal class is a big disappointment for those who like forward looking unobstructed views.

I hate those blue colored windows that they have all over the ship!

Just saw the news on our local South Florida tv station.  Good job, Regal!

Thanks for the great review and all the beautiful pictures!

I am so very sorry.to hear of your loss. 

Down time?!  What's that? 

Thanks for the review.  Loved your pictures! 

Does anyone have the recipe for Grandma's Chocolate Cake that is served in the dinner buffet?  It is so delicious!!

Hey there!  We were on this cruise, too.  We saw you getting your jammie pics by the tree in the atrium.  I went up and asked if you guys wanted a pic with the whole group, but someone in your group said you already had one.  So we sat for awhile in the atrium watching everyone getting their pics.  Dh and I got ours, too! 

BTW, everyone looked very happy to me!

The way I found it was I didn't sign in and do find a cruise-it was in the banner

Look up a specific cruise as if you are looking to book and it should have a banner saying preview or Medallion.

Thanks for that info!  I just checked and it says OM Preview.  We sail tomorrow! 

We were on the Caribbean Princess last month and it was in full OM mode.  I really don't see anything in it, except for opening the door.  I also don't like wearing the lanyard, but it still worked if it was in my purse or pocket.

We're sailing 12/23 on the Regal.  Where on the website do you find this information about whether it is Medallion or not?

Love seeing your pics!  Thanks for posting.

I like thinking about what I am going to be eating in a few weeks on the Regal!
