Lovetocruise2002 Posted April 17, 2019 Report Posted April 17, 2019 Just discovered this. Virtual stateroom tours available on “some” categories. *Update: I went through a few of my bookings and it only appears to be available for Symphony. But I love it! A very cool feature! twangster, SweetPea, Baked Alaska and 3 others 6 Quote
WannaCruise Posted April 18, 2019 Report Posted April 18, 2019 Very neat. Thanks for sharing. Guessing they'll eventually roll out the view to other bookings. Quote

Especially when you start playing around with it, certain taps will highlight special features of the stateroom and you can move around in it much like Google street view. spiralqueen, The Cruise Junkie and WannaCruise 2 1 Quote
SpeedNoodles Posted April 18, 2019 Report Posted April 18, 2019 I got trapped in the bathroom of the Grand Suite and couldn’t get out. While I was there I found this mildly amusing typo. JennyB, The Cruise Junkie, spiralqueen and 9 others 12 Quote
briankeith513 Posted April 18, 2019 Report Posted April 18, 2019 Can you do the virtual stateroom tour of the cabin your specifically booked? Or can you only do it for cabins BEFORE booking? \ Quote
12thman Posted April 18, 2019 Report Posted April 18, 2019 This would be a huge improvement over what they have now. Spent so much time trying to figure out what each cabin/suite looked like when booking my cruise it was frustrating. Quote
WAAAYTOOO Posted April 18, 2019 Report Posted April 18, 2019 This is a feature that they used to have years ago. I remember being able to do a virtual tour of the 2 BR ATS when they first came out. Then they "upgraded" the website and that feature went poof ! I guess they've finally brought it back. spiralqueen and The Cruise Junkie 2 Quote

Why get rid of a very useful tool? NCL has this in some categories mostly lots of pictures. Which RC doesn't have. But hopefully every ship will get this. Quote

The Cruise Junkie Posted April 18, 2019 Report Posted April 18, 2019 Back In The Day They Use To Have Virtual Tour Of The Whole Ship! Glad They Got Some Of That Feature Back! Quote

Wish they’d bring them back for Oasis. The only videos of the 2 BR ATS on YouTube aren’t very good and don’t do a good job showing the room. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote

The only suites that I know of that have bidets are the Owner's Suite and the Royal Suite. There could be others on some of the other ship classes but I haven't seen them. Quote

nanowerx Posted April 19, 2019 Report Posted April 19, 2019 Anybody got a link to a virtual tour of an interior room? I guess I want to depress myself. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote

After I told you about it, I could no longer bring up any virtual tours at all on SY. I tried everything, clearing browser history, using different browsers etc. The only way I could view it was through the links that you posted on your blog post. Then early this morning, while doing my price checks, I was able to bring it up again, but only on my iphone. Not my laptop. Now nothing again. If I can catch it again on the non-suite classes, I will screen shot and save the links for you. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote

Hoski Posted April 20, 2019 Report Posted April 20, 2019 Okay I'm completely confused, how do you get to where the virtual tours are? Do you go through plan a cruise or somewhere else? Quote

Oddly, there are zero virtual tours showing up now for me, even though they were earlier. Or not so oddly, since it happened to others. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote

Took those screen shots yesterday and now this morning, nothing. What do you expect? It's Royal IT after all. Quote

Has anyone else had the problem where you’ll start a booking as when you click through it just kicks back to the homepage? Quote

AshleyDillo Posted April 20, 2019 Report Posted April 20, 2019 I guess the virtual room tour excursions are sold out for now. Lovetocruise2002, Fuzzywuzzy and nanowerx 3 Quote

Matt Posted April 22, 2019 Report Posted April 22, 2019 @Lovetocruise2002 Thanks for the screenshots. Like you said, I think perhaps I hit it when it wasn't showing for other rooms. Lovetocruise2002 1 Quote
