floridalover5623 Posted December 15, 2017 #26 Share Posted December 15, 2017 I can't grasp all the hatred for it as most others have. It seems to serve a purpose that it was designed for and was never intended to use it for trivia or gatherings. The seats are not that comfortable but sufficient. Just look at the seats in the show lounge. They're terrible compared to other ships with no drink tray either. It's easy to criticize but what else could they have done with such a small space?

Unfortunately it's now where they hold almost all of the trivia as well as all the "game show" type events like the marriage game. There were so many times while attending trivia type events at the Wheelhouse that you would join up with your neighbors at surrounding tables and meet new people are now a mute point, as you are all seating facing forward. It just doesn't seem as much of a "relaxed" atmosphere as it once was. There is a bar outside but there is no where to place your cocktail unless you put it down on the floor.

luckyinpa Posted December 18, 2017 #29 Share Posted December 18, 2017 I don’t understand it at all, there is no bar service in Live so there is no revenue. Make no sense to me at all. what ship? when i was on regal the bar is right outside the door. and i was only there for 2 shows but i found it a great distraction on the cold windy rainy day. MUCH better than the NCL breakaway which has virtually nothing to do inside on crappy weather days. PL, combined with the piazza is a wonderful reason to take regal out of NYC in colder weather.

caribill Posted December 20, 2017 #30 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Since, so far, I have refused to cruise on the bigger new ships, because they do not appeal to me, I don't know what Princess Live is.Could someone please explain what it is and what takes place there. It replaced Explorer's Lounge and has about the same number of seats in a much smaller space. All but the first row of seats are in a fixed position, so it is hard to form a team for events like trivia and interact with the team members. It addition, there are big TV cameras which when used block the view from a number of seats. On the Royal, there is only one entrance/exit, so it tales a while for everyone to leave when an event is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare geoherb Posted December 20, 2017 #31 Share Posted December 20, 2017 We're getting off the Royal today. Fortunately most of the daytime trivias were held in Club 6. They did hold the evening ones in Princess Live. We also went to a few of the nighttime game shows and musical trivias there. I did not mind it as much as I thought I would. We managed to play trivia OK with a team of four. A team of six would be hard to manage unless you got there early enough to snag the moveable seats on the front row.

lstone19 Posted December 20, 2017 #32 Share Posted December 20, 2017 And no, it is not a "real" TV studio. What would it take to be a "real" TV studio to you? Seems pretty real to me. Most of the game shows are recorded for later viewing on the in-cabin TVs. It's also where they record the Wake Show (usually privately but occasionally they'll record one with an audience). So yes, it does get used to produce TV shows for on-ship use. To the poster above who said the cruise staff pretends they're on TV and plays to the cameras. The only time I've observed playing to the cameras is when the show is actually being recorded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, maybe it's not great for trivia. I can't imagine what else could they possible use that small space for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
