flourpot Posted March 8, 2012 #1 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Princess just posted new information about the staterooms with pictures in each category. Apparently, there is a new cabin class called the "Deluxe Balcony Stateroom". Here is the direct link: http://www.princess.com/learn/ships/rp/staterooms/index.jsp It all looks very neat, but I'm not sure how I feel about the "Environmentally Friendly Key Card System"...

Loonbeam Posted March 8, 2012 #2 Share Posted March 8, 2012 There was discussion of this in another thread a few days ago. Personally I am not sure taking the central tower out of the mini suites was a great idea, lots of space there. And I wonder where the fridge is now. The keycard device is becoming standard in hotels. Save a hotel keycard the next time you stay, it works fine if you want to leave the AC on when leaving the room for a few mins.

Bippie Posted March 8, 2012 #3 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Even though the suites lose the larger walk in closet (compared to Emerald, etc.), I like the new layout. The suite is almost like a lock-off timeshare unit. If someone is using the sofabed, they have a closet and bathroom they can use in their half of the suite.

bdjam Posted March 9, 2012 #5 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I'm kind of surprised there haven't been more comments on the pictures. I like the bigger showers, more storage area and hand held shower heads in the standard rooms, but I'm wondering if the "padded headboard" instead of the mirrors will make the room feel smaller. Does look contemporary and sleek - I think me like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTGirl Posted March 9, 2012 #6 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Anyone notice that the tvs are on the walls. I wonder if we will be able to get to the backs of the tvs. I like to hook up my laptop to the tv with an hdmi cable and watch movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Cruise Junky Posted March 10, 2012 #7 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I'm kind of surprised there haven't been more comments on the pictures. This wasn't the first thread about it. They were posted on Princess's site I think about a week ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rdsqrl Posted March 10, 2012 #9 Share Posted March 10, 2012 The mirrors were a bit cheesy but they did definitely make the cabins seem more spacious. Removing them, especially from insides, seems an odd choice. As for the showers, I don't need them bigger and I don't care about curtain v. door (I think doors are claustrophic, actually); I'd just be ecstatic if there were a even a tiny little ledge on which to rest one's foot while shaving one's leg.

ssbeagle Posted March 10, 2012 #10 Share Posted March 10, 2012 It's nice that they posted what the staterooms will look like, but considering they are supposed to start selling the ship next week, when are they going to post the deck plans? A rep from Princess had said they would do it by the 7th and I still haven't seen it on the website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navychop3 Posted March 10, 2012 #11 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Yep, I think we're going to have to give cruising one more try, just to experience the Royal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
