Typhoon1 Posted May 13, 2014 #3 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Anybody? I'm mostly asking about the baloney's. I don't think Princess is offering any baloney these days. I'm sure there's plenty to be found in Wisconsin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azjack Posted May 13, 2014 #4 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Can anyone tell me their favorite mini-suite on the Royal/Regal princess ships? My choices would be Baja or Caribe 409,410,414,415,416,417,426,427,428,429. All of these MA minisuites have larger balconies, and are far enough below the Skyview/Bar that privacy is not a concern. Check the deckplans to get an idea of the relative sizes. If you are doing a TA you might want to chose port or starboard, depending on direction and route. The negative is that all these cabins are closest to the midships elevators, which could be a hassle. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ar1950 Posted May 14, 2014 #8 Share Posted May 14, 2014 You might want to checkout this review and see what the reviewer said about their R410 stateroom on the Royal: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2041275 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azjack Posted May 16, 2014 #9 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Having booked one of these cabins on a future Regal cruise, wondering why being near the elevators was a hassle? Noise? thanks Because there is no central staircase for passengers, these elevators get heavy use. There have been complaints about long waits and crowded cars. I thought the problems were minor on the Royal TA last year, but others have had serious concerns. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jemnibabe Posted May 16, 2014 #10 Share Posted May 16, 2014 We had B428 on a Royal TA last year and it was absolutely perfect. It had an angled balcony which made it much larger than most, was under the Sea View Bar which provided much more privacy than the Skywalk and was in the center of the ship. We did not experience that many problems with the mid-ship elevators, or maybe we just went with the flow. No rush...you're on vacation.

STCKcruises Posted August 11, 2014 #12 Share Posted August 11, 2014 No complaints about B527 on Regal. Great location between mid and aft lifts. High enough for good view over lifeboats and smallness of balcony is all relative and was never a problem.

seacruise9 Posted August 11, 2014 #13 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Hi, We cruised aboard the Regal Princess in June and had a mini-suite (R415) that we really liked. The location was great and we enjoyed the larger angled balcony that had an excellent view. Although our balcony was only two decks below the SeaWalk, this was never a problem. We liked being located only two decks below the Horizon Court. The lack of the central staircase was sometimes an issue during peak times (crowded central elevators). However, we avoided this by using the forward or aft stairs if necessary. The Royal Princess and Regal Princess are beautiful ships. Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLSHS_Mom Posted August 11, 2014 #14 Share Posted August 11, 2014 We were in B428 on the Regal. Loved the location and during peak times we would just walk down the hall to do the stairs or if dressed up get into the empty forward elevators.

CamCruiser Posted August 11, 2014 #15 Share Posted August 11, 2014 We were in C414, angled balcony mini suite. Very nice cabin but it is mid ship on Caribe deck 10. We usually walked forward or aft to catch elevators due to no center staircase. The cabin was quiet and comfortable. I would be more than happy to book it again.

HRPro Posted August 12, 2014 #17 Share Posted August 12, 2014 We had B416 on the Royal and loved the mini suite, larger angled balcony and being under the Seaview Bar rather than the Seawalk. Baja is far enough down that privacy is not a problem and we had no problem with the midship elevators except for a couple of times, before and after Muster drill. We loved those mini suites so much that we have them booked for our next toe cruises--one on the Royal and the other on the Regal. We are on Caribe deck for both cruises.

HUNKY Posted August 12, 2014 #18 Share Posted August 12, 2014 What are you all doing on a balcony that you need "privacy"? Looking forward to some good show while walking on the Regal Princess Seawalk in December! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
