Those stairs do get crowded at times. Not a problem on the Sky. Looks like they eliminated the stairs and just have a ladder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astro Flyer Posted November 25, 2019 #485 Share Posted November 25, 2019 I’ve noticed a couple of other changes from the Royal & Regal. The Tea Tower by the IC is gone & haven’t seen any promotion of a Royal Tea ($10; $20 with a glass of bubbly). The Crab Shack has been replaced by some evenings of Planks (BBQ) and Steamers (Seafood) at the aft end of the buffet - $12 The lack of promoting drinks in the MDR is an improvement...no offering wine tastings or after dinner drinks. Haven’t seen any Curtis Stone items on the MDR menu since early in our 28 day cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AF-1 Posted November 25, 2019 #486 Share Posted November 25, 2019 I wonder why the tea tower was removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never saw it being used in our combined 2+ months on the Royal/Regal. However obviously that’s merely my experiences. My guess is it was underutilized & not cost effective for Princess. The Gelato’s menu change was apparently an effort to increase sales but had the opposite affect on us. I think the quality of the Swirl’s soft serve ice cream has improved & is back to a milk chocolate flavor. Sometimes they have chocolate, caramel or strawberry sauce which I get on the ice cream in their juice sized reusable plastic cups. The MDR only has a different nightly sorbet flavor but no variety for ice cream or gelato on the dessert menu. I discovered that I can get a scoop of ice cream/gelato that’s included in other desserts to have some variety. 👍 Edited November 25, 2019 by Astro Flyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I liked Princess Live more than most seem to, the new design is a vast improvement over the previous layout. I noticed though , that here isn’t any seating at the Princess Live bar. On Royal & Regal, it was nice to stop & relax at prior to events in PL. Keith, I again want to thank you for allowing us to follow along. Great photos & comments, not to mention all the questions answered! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtfasls Posted November 25, 2019 #492 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Thank you for all the information, could you please let me know where the smoking areas are on the ship?
