riclop Posted April 7, 2016 #102 Share Posted April 7, 2016 That's my hope & it's about time they deployed a Royal-class ship to the West Coast. ;) I hope you will not hold your breathe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I glad you liked Royal Princess, and that you're still enjoying the pictures! :D I know it's been a few years, but the ship wouldn't have changed much if anyone didn't get a chance to view my albums: Part 1 and Part 2 contain almost 1,200 pictures and cover the 14-night back-to-back, the other two albums are miscellaneous pictures... Royal Princess, Part 1 (482 pictures) Royal Princess, Part 2 (696 pictures) Royal Princess Bridge Tour (55 pictures) Up, Down, and Around (Stairwells, some art, etc., 49 pictures) :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmwnc1959 Posted April 8, 2016 Author #108 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Actually, I believe that tonnage is related to a ship's overall internal volume, and is not a measure of the ship's displacement (mass), but by now the geekiness may have driven everyone else from this thread.

Guest arowe6 Posted April 8, 2016 #110 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Dave, It's been 5 days and 6 pages. Just own it. You've got this. :cool: Leaving on the regal on Sunday. Get ready for another sarcasm laced review. -a :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope Princess did something special for you back in 2013.Dave, I need to add my two cents worth. I don't remember seeing that drawing before. Were do you find this stuff? Looks like the "official" tonnage for the Royal/Regal should be 142,714, although the Princess website lists the Royal/Regal at 142,229 and the Princess website has never been wrong [emoji6] Edited April 8, 2016 by IECalCruiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get ready for another sarcasm laced review. -a :) Andrew, I hope you have a truly wonderful time. Knowing now what to expect and what 'drawbacks' and 'design errors' there are, it should be a delightful cruise. Bon voyage!!! :D Dave, I need to add my two cents worth.

They had a whole section with technical drawings and schematics up on the wall and I just snapped away a bunch of pictures. I hope none of it is classified! :eek:;) :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty, They did do a few things, to which I did "tell all" in my review back then not wanting anyone to think I had been "bought" by Princess Cruises. I've also mentioned some of the areas where they could have done better or need improvement, but I still look back on those 14-days as the best I've ever spent on any cruise ship. And I'd do again given the chance. Loved the ship, the crew, and all of my new friends here and onboard. :D Edited April 8, 2016 by dmwnc1959 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More for destination then the ship but I had very few issues with the ship itself. No matter which ship or cruise line there will always be something that doesn't seem to meet your expectations. So unless it is a total disappointment you just have to remember to take a deep breath, relax and say I'm on vacation and it is better than 6" of partly cloudy back home. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruzaholic41 Posted April 11, 2016 #120 Share Posted April 11, 2016 The ordering of more of these ships will most likely be the end of a cruising era for me. There was a time when Princess was my favorite cruise line but I don't see myself ever wanting to book a ship that is almost totally void of the things I love about cruising - decent balconies, lounges with panoramic views, and a nice promenade deck. They couldn't even put a decent theater on these new ships. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macusr Posted April 12, 2016 #121 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Kristin, Just going to miss you. We are doing the ABC's on the Caribbean December 3rd. Oh bummer - alas timing is everything! Yeah we had FCCs expiring (the ones we bought on the Royal cruise) and we needed to book something. The deals were good for the mid-Jan '17 dates. Unique itinerary - loved the bookend sea days, longer port times, and the chance to hit all three - been to A for 1/2 day, C for 1 day, and never to B.
