Royal Deck Plans Accuracy

[CABCruiser]

We are booked in M407 this summer. According to the deck plans online, this balcony is standard size, possibly missing the larger angled balconies by just one cabin! Any hopes of a nice surprise?

Hopefully Dave the Royal expert will chime in.

We're book in D409 for Regal's maiden voyage. It has a larger angular balcony of 54 sq. ft. Regal deck plan show M407 as having a standard balcony size of 36 sq. ft. The larger angled balconies under the sea view bar and/or sea walk are 45, 54 or 72 sq. ft. Royal balconies should be similar...

What Av8tor said... ;)

Thanks for your replies. I checked again today, and a cabin a few doors away with an angled balcony opened up. I was able to switch with no problems. I appreciate your input.

Glad it worked out for you. If balcony size is really important to you (side matters?), be sure to mark your booking DO NOT UPGRADE or you could find yourself "upgraded" to a higher cabin category with a smaller balcony :eek:

Here a shot of the balconies for M409 and M411, upper ones in shot, on the Royal Pr. that I cropped from a shot I took of that ship from the top floor of the Northport parking structure upon our return from our last cruise and these balconies are not that much larger than the regular ones.

FYI here's the balconies for M423 to M429. Again these are the upper ones in this shot.

Thank you for the picture. We are in M409 on the Royal in a few weeks.

I guess that size does matter with respect to balconies if you really want to spend most of your day there or want to entertain. We acknowledge that the standard balcony on both the Royal Class ships are smaller than most others in the Princess fleet, but certainly fine for just sitting and enjoying some quiet time away from the crowds and certainly better than an interior cabin or oceanview.
