Royal Princess: Balcony Cabin Tour (2018)
Tour of my balcony cabin onboard the Royal Princess! B710.
I was lucky enough to spend 5 days onboard the Royal Princess cruising around the British Isles. I had the entire balcony cabin to myself and it was INCREDIBLE. Amazingly we actually had some good weather and I was able to use my balcony a lot. I never thought I'd be sunbathing in Scotland but we were so lucky with the weather that it was actually really pleasant.
I have a LOT to say about this cruise and the Royal Princess. She's a gorgeous ship and the itinerary was amazing. I thought I'd start though with a tour of my cabin. My cabin was B710.
Please subscribe, I have a LOT more to show you.

The cabin is much bigger than I thought it would be. Great to have a balcony.

I really like Princess Cruises. I enjoyed your Cabin Tour very much. There is really a lot of space there. Also great the two desks. Incidentally, your Instagram stories of the cruise were really great. I'm looking forward to the other videos from this cruise. Thumbs up.

Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I've got so much to edit and so many posts to write.. it'll keep me busy for a while! :D Thanks for commenting :)
Just had my first cruise ever on sapphire princess. Loved every second of the 14 nights. We had similar room, slightly nicer tbh, huge mirror and 2 really comfy single beds with pull down bed ( in the ceiling during the day) as it was me, my mum and daughter. Loved the staff, food, entertainment have definitely been bitten by the cruising bug! Really want to do another princess cruise!

We are doing this cruise in few weeks what is the Internet like we went on the Britania few months ago but the Internet was not the best but the ship was amazing
Looks like a lovely room. Yes it looks narrower than some balcony rooms but still a good size.

Thanks for your tour. I’ll be on the Royal in the fall to Hawaii & I now know what to expect.
Thanks Emma, room looks little, I am wondering if we will feel cramped in that type room. I love the large beds though!
Excellent cabin tour as always.

Enjoy watching your videos. We did the Southeast Asian cruise too last year. Had a great time. Keep uploading your awesome videos.
Everybody LOVES GoPro curves! :D Seriously though, it looks great and that balcony looks nearly double the depth of the Britannia's even though the ships are very similar. :)

Thanks Emma!! I am travelling on the Royal this April...4/2019. Your Video was very helpful. I did decide on a Mini Suite because I am travelling with my 2 kids. Showing an excellent view of the Balcony was very helpful. Hope to see you on a cruise sometime. Thank you!

Hey Pete! Thanks so much for your comment. Hope you love the ship as much as I did 😊👍🏼
Great tour.
Really like the dressing room area, does take some space from the main room but looks useful. Balcony does look narrow but big enough to admire the view! Thanks for the tour!

Emma - I’m convinced that the on the Regal & Royal they put 5 balcony cabins in the same space that they have 6 on the Golden & Grand - which is why the cabin is narrower (which it definitely is - because I could hardly get my mobility scooter past the bed in my deluxe balcony cabin on the Regal)!

Maybe that is true! Golden was definitely wider. Didn't make much difference to me though, loved them both :)

Hi Emma.. My name is Kimisha Horne. I live in the Caribbean and I applied to work aboard the ship.. what advise will you give to me?
I’m really surprised to say this but the Britannia’s cabins and bathrooms look a lot better than this!! Britannia’s looks a lot more modern, the bathroom is bigger and actually has a real shower door than a curtain, it just looks like a lot more thought was put into it. I’m surprised because I thought Princess was meant to be a slightly more premium brand than P&O, the prices certainly reflect it anyway. Just shows how brilliant value for money the Britannia is, and whoever decided to design the Britannia to look like a 5* hotel was a genius!!
Did you manage to get a view of any internal cabins to compare?
@EmmaCruises
6 жыл бұрын
I did yeah! Pretty much exactly the same. Some of the inside cabins are sideways and those ones seem to be a bit bigger than the ones which are the normal way around. Exactly the same styling though.
Is this a sister ship of P&O Britannia? Looks very modern, but a tad small

Is quite a small one... not even too sure why!
I am on Royal Princess now heading to Cabo on the five day cruise. I have the exact same room and staying alone. Now day two of the cruise, I have to say I would NOT do this again. Everything is sub par, my room was filthy, nothing works consistently (TV stopped working - Bad Gateway), the Medallion App NEVER worked, including the shitty "chat", forget room service (never pickup), my balcony was inaccessible for most of the morning while they "performed maintenance", etc. And the constant vibration in my room never stops - 11 Deck, B121. It started off bad with my brother in law losing his sunglasses during embarking because the idiots threw around his check in bags at the security check and were very rude about it. We are celebrating my parents 50th anniversary and it's been impossible to communicate with them because the app doesn't work, phones don't work and you can't use your cell phone. And to top it all off, the Steward barely speaks English. Nice guy but impossible to understand him. All the American employees are in management and don't directly deal with travelers. They leave that to the foreigner employees that can't speak English. They are who you have to deal with as Stewards, room service, waiters, etc.
I wanna win a bag 😁
