Only just discovered this thread. Was it just Bacardi that wasn’t available or did they have other bottles of white rum?
-
Tea needs to be made with boiling water - not just ‘hot’ 😳!

Live from Regal Princess May 15 British Isles cruise
Lady Meer replied to Pirateskigirl's topic in Princess Cruises
A great service by our coastguard (and also our land air ambulance service) - both free. I hope the casualty makes a full recovery I’m really enjoying your posts - we did this cruise 2 years ago and loved it! -
We’re always happy to sit anywhere as we like to meet all the staff. We usually eat at 7.00. We’ve sometimes been ‘encouraged’ to hurry!!

On Voyager we shared a table one evening with a man who was coeliac, therefore gluten free. All was fine until his dessert arrived which wasn’t what he had pre-ordered. He asked the waiter to check if it was gf. He came back and said he had asked the chef and it was ‘nearly gluten-free’ 😳!

We’ve requested and received a kettle on our 2 Regent cruises. There was a coffee maker which we never used.

When we travel as a four, we often have to wait for a table at dinner - sometimes up to 20 minutes. We wait in the nearest bar so it’s not too inconvenient 😃.

Nicaragua, sorry not sure where to post this question

We’ve been there once and had a great tour! -
Cape Town - Regent Pre & Post cruise offerings
Lady Meer replied to flossie009's topic in Regent Seven Seas Cruises
I think it’s the Victoria and Alfred Hotel! Albert was Victoria’s husband, Alfred was their son! Confusing, or what? -
I agree, I have this too and find it works perfectly for me and DH uses the binoculars.

Thanks for confirming that. My mother was gluten free for 50 years but I can’t tolerate gluten free flour - the irony 🙄! I can’t go to our local fish n chip restaurant 🥲! I hope your friend enjoyed her onboard visit.
-
I hope your trip runs smoothly after a tricky start. I shall be following your every move! I did hear that the batter on the fish is now gluten-free for everyone. I wonder if you would be kind enough to check if that’s true.

I am sure the OP was referring to a P & O cruise on Aurora in ? February this year. It was well documented by Selbourne on the P & O board at the time.

You can all dine together in the main dining room. Suite guests can have their meals in the Reserve dining room and you would need to up-grade to a Reserve mini-suite or a full suite to join them.
-
We had tour tickets in our room when we boarded. No app as far as I remember with Regent last month!
-
kjbacon - when you get onboard, check your tour tickets! On our W Africa cruise last year all of our tours had a time change. Some were 30 to 60 mins different but 2 were changed from afternoon to morning - one to 6.30 am 😡.

Which country do your parents live in, if it’s the UK it could affect their travel insurance.

Our room steward changed the wine. Agree with Cajuntraveler about the canapes!

Cruise is now cheaper - can we do anything?
Lady Meer replied to Muffinz's topic in Princess Cruises
Our TA got us a reduced fare on our next cruise [2 reserve mini suites) after the prices fell considerably, so it is possible. -
Turkey and Eastern Med - April. Standard room B deck is now less than we were offered. i see a well known TA already has 2025 cruises in their brochure which we received last Saturday!
-
The room we enquired about (pre-registered) is actually cheaper on the website than we were offered.

New West African ports will Regent help with Visas.
Lady Meer replied to Hamwen3839's topic in Regent Seven Seas Cruises
Wow - that’s going to be costly. I wouldn’t want to send my passport out of the country either. There were a lot of Australians on our cruise - it’s a pity no-one has commented. -

Lady Meer replied to Hamwen3839's topic in Regent Seven Seas Cruises
We did this trip in November 2023 and (as DaveFr says) only needed a visa for Ghana which Regent did onboard. I checked with all the Embassies in the UK myself before we travelled. Just a note - you may want to take copies of your passport as Regent kept them for the whole cruise. -
Not HAL but have just been to Japan on Regent. Everyday we were reminded to carry our original passport ashore at all times as it is a legal requirement - copies would not be acceptable.

Sadly, not in March this year.
