Yes I read them all, thanks.

Depending on how the weather is we may just get off, take a stroll down the beach and get a couple bottles of wine:)

Thanks again everyone for your help and especially you Chris, I've been reading your post of your cruise and your review afterwards. Last week when you first talked about the ship tour, I knew it was something I would enjoy, especially if your went to the engine room; however your detailed review was nearly as information as watching it on "modern marvels".

Thanks

Thanks everyone,

We are returning to ft lauderdale, hopefully they won't require us to take all our things and get off the ship, go through customs and then stand in line again to get back on the ship....seems like a waste of several hours only to return to our same room.

In fine with going to muster a 2nd time in one week, it doesn't take long from what I hear and the 2nd drill will only help us in case of emergency.

I think if we have to fully disembark, we may just spend the day in ft. Lauderdale and stop buy a liquor store nearby and pick up 2 bottles of wine for our second week;)

We are going on our first cruise. It'll be a 14 day b2b on the regal.

1. When going on a b2b, are required to disembark at the halfway point?

2. Do we need to go to both muster drills?

3. Is it possible, at the halfway point when the 2nd cruise begins to get the all inclusive beverage package or must it be done on the first day of the first cruise?

Thanks for any help in advance

Jack

Pretty unusual for this type of incident to happen. If it is any consolation the Regal is a, relatively speaking, brand new ship. We loved it and you probably will too. Enjoy your cruise.

Thanks, I'm not too worried about the regal and am sure everything will be great. I am just hoping a through investigation is done by an independent agency to find out the string of events which lead to this and action taken much like when the FAA investigates an aircraft incident.

I'm new here and in fact we're going on our first cruise on the regal next month. I've been following this thread all day and it concerns us that something like this which you think should have been found back in Hawaii and not 500miles out to sea. Is this something that the NTSB or other government overseer of safety will be investigating to find out if it were human error or design flaw and have them take steps to prevent this from happening again?

If the same type of interlocks and sensors are used in other locations in the ship a future failure of the same type could perhaps have a much worse outcome.
