Royal Princess R102 - Anyone familiar with this cabin?

[profteedee]

We have just been switched from our R706 stateroom to R102. We have never stayed this far forward on any of our previous cruises. Can anyone tell me how it is to stay this far forward on the Royal? I know that there is an elevator/stair issue but I'm just worried that it will be a long walk to anyplace being where we are in the ship. Also, it seems that this cabin is in a higher category than our previously booked one. Is there really a difference? Any help you can give is greatly appreciated.

I stayed on the Marina deck (one floor up) in your area and really liked it. No movement, etc. Relatively quiet. Would stay there again. It appears you're in a deluxe balcony - so you have a small loveseat/couch and the square footage is slightly bigger than a standard balcony. I didn't mind walking so that wasn't an issue for me.

Thanks for your reply. Glad to hear that the cabin location is a good one.

Happy cruising!

We are considering booking R102 for a cruise and were wondering if the actual location (next to the bridge) was quiet or not.

 

Thanks

We were in R106 last October and had no issues and we have booked R104 next March. We enjoyed looking into the bridge wing from our balcony.
