Thread: New Royal Princess - May 2013

There should be far more single staterooms added to ships... but anyway, I wonder when exactly we will here about more of her design features.

What are forward and reverse rake?

Your complaint is irrelevant to anyone who does not want to sleep on the stern.

They could have at least shown some effort in thinking of a new name for a brand new ship like this. I am already wondering if the sister ship will be named Regal Princess.

I think because of the word Princess, nothing could make more sense than Royal. So what if she is much bigger than the first Royal Princess? You could say the Royal Princess grew up.

Did you even see the pictures of her? The purpose of the glass bottom is to let you see the water below you. The walkway curves out like a banana, so nothing is between you and the water except the glass floor. Nobody is going to see my underwear by looking up.

I would love to see single staterooms that connect to standard staterooms. I discovered my sister can't go with me and Mom on any of MSC"s ships because none of them have a cabin I can afford for three people. If there was a single cabin next to a standard cabin, problem solved.
