live from Royal Princess

[san diego sue]

We are on the transatlantic to Europe.

Having wonderful calm seas. Beautiful ship. Cruise director Sammi Baker and she is wonderful. First time on a small ship and we love it.Passengers are so friendly.Have activities all day, no time for boredom. First time I have had time to go on internet.someone on a previous thread asked cost of internet. 75 cents a minute. 100.00 for 250 minutes.

Internet a bit slow but not bad. Got on immediatly.

Probably won't be able to answer any questions today as I am signing off.

Cruise critic roll call members have gotten together three times and we are fast friends.

Regards,

San Diego Sue

Thanks for the report. We were on her trans-Atlantic westbound last Nov/Dec and loved everyone minute of those 24 days.

 

I hope you keep enjoying.

San Diego Sue...Can't wait to hear more about the ship, crew, food, etc. Interesting to hear Sammi is the CD on the ship....she seems to do a lot of the small ships. We will be on a June sailing so will keep checking in to hear your updates. Thanks for posting!

San Diego Sue,

 

If you do have time later could you please tell me about the staterooms? Is there plenty of closet space? And will I be able to get my large suitcase under the bed? :) We're so looking forward to our first cruise on the Royal...can't wait!!

we had not problem putting large cases (4 weeks worth) under the beds, and there was sufficient closet space....nice cabins, and enjoyed the small sofa.

Thanks Chrysalis...you sound like a heavy packer too. I just can't help myself from overpacking. I love clothes and lots of shoes.....

Thanks for posting this "live from" thread. We are also doing the Rome-Stockholm on the Royal this summer and will look forward to anything you have to say about the ship!

[partybarbie]

Thank you for the "live" posting. Now don't keep us all in suspense:eek: . How is your cruise progessing? And the big question, "How is the food and the service?". Inquiring minds want to know.;)

[kimpatrick]

I can't wait to hear how the cruise is going. We are doing Stockholm to Rome in June and have not found much information on the Royal.

Thanks for posting live.........we are leaving RC to come to Princess just to experience the small ship and think we will love it also.........can't wait to hear your thoughts and share your experience.

We'll be on the Royal in December.....would love to hear all about the ship!

We sailed on Royal last summer around Italy and just loved it. The space in the outside rooms with picture windows was ample. The dark wood decor in the bars and dining room really gave it a country club feel. The pool area was nice, as was the buffet area. The outdoor dining section of the buffet area was lovely for breakfast. We've only sailed small ships (one each Carnival, RC and Princess) and are probably in for culture shock: sailing from Venice 6/5 on the Emerald!

Have fun!

The more I hear about the Princess small ships, I just get excited all over again about cruising. So glad we are turning in our 20 minute waits at the elevator, rock climbing wall, ice skating rink and future designs for 5,000 passengers.........

[Colo Cruiser]

How goes it? :D
