Royal's next Class of Ships

Agree 100%, we can only hope!

My husband is doing well for his 81 yrs but has trouble with his knees so even 1 deck going up stairs is hard for him and has to take it very slowly. I generally will accompany him in the elevator the one deck but on my own, will use the stairs.

Probably in the future that will be true although. they will still need some of the smaller class of ships to get into the smaller ports of call. Edited August 1, 2014 by Folk Singer

Good morning Carol.

I suspect drunks and unsupervised children are also a safety hazard on the stair cases as well. On the other hand, space consumption and the weight of the necessary machinery could be a serious design obstacle -- not to mention the need to have trained maintenance personnel and spare parts on board. Anyway, with a little patience and consideration, I think the elevators do just fine.

There are some markets where this is not possible! We have cruised out of Baltimore and size is THE issue with that port. 2 bridges to go under to get to the Atlantic. I would not want to see cruise ships leave that port because of the ship size being too large. It is nice every once in a while to be able to drive to the port and not have to worry about flights.
