Finding your room can be a challenge. Royal has made things easier with the colour of the keycard.
Eden van Waveren shared: We have a colour gradient which shows where you are on the ship. So I think of blue back. So anytime you’re at the back of the ship, everything is blue around you. So blue is aft. So all the signage, everything like that, including the stateroom number signage. So it goes from dark blue aft, teal in the middle and then green forward. The colours: green is forward, teal is midship, and then dark blue is aft. And then it’s also numbered. So at the front of the ship port side it goes 1 2 3. So your stateroom number say you’re deck 8, 8100 it would be forward port side. So it goes 1 2 3 and then on the other side 5 6 7. If somebody comes up to a crew member and says :my stateroom number is 14572, where do I go.” The crew can reply: 14 is the deck, and then five would be forward starboard side. So 1 2 3 and then 5, 6, 7. Fours are in the middle in the interior.”
The Suite neighbourhood itself is four decks. So it’s deck 16, 17, 18, which is where we are now, and then deck 19, a neighbourhood designed for suite guests. So if you have a suite, any guest staying in a suite, Sky or Star class, is really able to access The Grove. So The Grove is a suite sundeck area, decks 18 and 19. It also has its own restaurant, The Grove Restaurant, which is Mediterranean inspired food, as well as a bar. This is the grill. We have nine Star class and 109 Sky class. We will see a Grand Suite which is a Sky class.
