The deck plans show the pool with cabins on the sides, so will there be much seating actually around the pool? And it looks like there will be seating on the deck above, much like by the main pools. And I'm wondering if they will have the shaded areas like they do on the retreat pool on the Royal/Regal ships? Found this actual photo during construction.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coffeeluvr05 #477 Posted October 11 Kind of surprised there are no pools with stairs. Given the more mature demographic hat Princess tends to cater to you would think there would be. Ladders can be too difficult for some. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes it's causing some concern based on the pictures seen so far. Not everyone wants to be winched in! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s possible to pay for a Caffe Americano...an espresso diluted with hot water. That was okay for me because the free filtered coffee made from ground coffee in the Royal-class buffets was fine for me & was better than that made from coffee concentrate on their other ships. ☕️ Dear Astro Flyer, Sorry. Just off the Regal. Coffee in the SLOOPP line are as well dining halls was Syrup Based. FYI in horror we found all the eating areas say 11:00 pm closed but naught they turned cruisers away at 10:40 PM. Yes right after leaving the Late show.. you were not even able to get PIZZA even well except from Room Service with a Charge. Oh BTW they were out every nighjt of many items on the Room Service menue in yiour suite/cabins. CAN YA HEAR US PRINCESS? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My guess is the stairs are added later and aren't part of the pool superstructure. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

h-sar #495 Posted October 13 (edited) I’m worried that my favourite area for watching the wake later at night on the Regal has been removed for the back pool. Anyone have any info/pics on the sitting area outside the back of the buffet? We love having breakfast back there, it’s our go to place to avoid breakfast crowds while we wait to disembark, and we always gather there at the end of the night, before bed, to quietly watch the waves.

Yes we loved the comfy sofas and chairs there on the Regal and Royal for relaxing - we'll find out very soon I'm sure whether we get anything other than loungers in that area!

h-sar #499 Posted October 13 Thank you, Dides, for the artist rendering. Zooming in, it looks like there will be some tables and chairs behind the loungers, set up for overflow buffet seating. Reassuring. I will very much miss the wicker sofa and chairs where the pool is now, though. Wondering if the location of the pool so close to the buffet will result In people walking through the buffet food areas wet and in bathing suits. I am all about live and let live when it comes to dress code, but do get skeeved out when someone else’s pool time crosses paths with my interior dining time, LOL. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
h-sar #500 Posted October 13 Looks like the 2nd video has been posted. As with the first one, not the best quality, but, hey, at least the fellow’s taking the time and effort to give us an insider’s look! Good look at the Sanctuary at 2:38. Looks like he’s now moving on to work on Enchanted. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
