Changes on Royal Princess?

[esstheman]

Has the ship in its latest incarnation kept "Club 6" next to the Casino?  I don't see it on the ship map on the Medallion App, and I don't see any information about it in the Princess Patters since the Alaska season started?

 

Also, is Sabatini's open on Royal?

A past passenger said that the nightclub (Club 6) was being converted to a larger casino.  Currently closed for Alaskan voyages.

That's a bummer. We enjoyed the Club 6 on Regal earlier this year.

We were recently on the Royal Princess for the restart cruise to Alaska. The old club six space has been modified. The forward part of the room is now a "sports bar". There are a few large screen tv's showing a very limited choice of live sporting events (the same event on each tv, with no ability to change them). There is also a live sports ticker running above the bar. The other half of the room is now a tentacle of the casino, with several rows of slot machines. They were not getting much use anytime that I saw them.

 

Sabatinis was closed for "technical issues". We were first told that they had hoped to open by day 4 of our 12 day cruise. They never did open for dinner. However, they were serving  breakfast for suite guests.

We just returned from the initial Alaska cruise on the Royal’s first voyage after the last two years and Club 6 was definitely open. It had been modified somewhat to make it more of an extension of the Casino but still offered lounge seating and a bar.

Not big gamblers here but somehow we have a bunch of casino freeplay on the June 4th sailing. It that worthless or will the casino at least be open on the last sea day when the Royal is sailing around Victoria Island in international waters?

Does that mean that there's now technically no way of getting to the forward staircase on this deck that doesn't take you through the casino?

Casino has always been open on Alaskan sailings except for the portion from Victoria to Vancouver (if your cruise has those ports)  I believe the poster was referring to Club 6

If your last port is Victoria and you disembark in Vancouver the casino is closed the last evening of the cruise.
