Port Royale 2 is a much better balanced effort. Indeed the first Port Royale also did its best to emulate the brilliance of Pirates!, but somehow missed the mark with a few interface and design issues seeing the game confined to quarters until a few remedies could be found. However if you can't wait for Sid Meier and his mates to get the sequel sorted then Port Royale 2 is a reasonably seaworthy alternative which is another Pirates! in all but official name, as the main elements of the original game design are here. Pirates! is only now coming in for a much needed revamp. My family has no problem with seasickness, and we all agree that we LIKE the movement of the ship.The word seminal is a term tossed about way too often these days when describing games, but if you are looking for the original swashbuckling simulation which combined naval combat, trading and sword fighting then Pirates! is the only game which can rightfully claim to have launched the genre. People who say midship is "better" tend to mean that it's more stable and you feel the movement of the ship less. For some people it means more space, for others it means a balcony, or close to the pool, or any number of qualifiers. It's average for a cruise ship cabin, which isn't half bad.Īs for midship being "better" well, "better" has many definitions. Those are areas that have big positives.ĭeck two has no real negatives - it just doesn't have anything outstanding about it. If I were to book a plain side balcony room, I'd probably choose deck 6 to be closest to the water. My ultra-favorite rooms are the 10th floor corner aft cabins.
I do enjoy being up on the higher decks because it's so convenient to run up one flight of steps to the buffet or the pool.
I briefly toyed around with the idea of getting the Family Oceanview 8200 (the biggest, best of that category), but since it was essentially the same price as the two connecting rooms, the larger space and the two bathrooms won out. We chose it again for our upcoming cruise because oceanview is what was in the budget, and with four kids we insisted upon connecting cabins.
