I was last week on the Regal, and used my coffee card I purchased back in November for my Royal Princess cruise. Since it already had some punches in it, the guy wrote the voyage number on the back and told me that I had to use it this cruise. In December I was able to buy gelato with my card on the Royal, not this time though!

At what time is the press conference?
-
You can also get it at Zuikertuin Mall at a place called Sambal here in Curacao. You will have to order the dishes separately though. Excellent food.
-
Since Carnival is sending both Glory and Valor, and NCL is sending the Getaway for winter 2019, isn't there a chance Jewel might end up in New Orleans as well?
-
What is Explorer going to do after she arrives in Miami?
-
Anthem is also my favorite ship out of 39!
-
Does Royal make more on a regular cruise or a TA/TP? Seems like a good buffer to shorten days in drydock and allow time in transit to finish.
No over crowding or overflow issues this way. Fewer complaining. [emoji33]

I have read several times that TA are very low yielding if any at all, so very good opportunity to finish all the work that has to be done.

I must say it was a wonderful cruise with some choppy seas, but I love when the sea is rough!
I ate all my meals at the buffet. From all my 49 cruises, this was one of the best buffet food on a ship. The desserts were so so in my opinion. I usually like to try out the specialty restaurants, but the buffet was so good that in the end I never hit one of those pay restaurants. Service was excellent too. A big difference with my cruise in December on the Royal Princess (yes I know it's another line, but same parent company) where the food has gone down the hill. Going in 2 weeks on the Regal and curious to see if it was a chef thing or if it is the food that has declined.
I ate 3 times at Dive Inn and always very good, but I'm not a burger kind of guy. I prefer real food. On the last day I had the signature pizza and for my tasting it lacked some taste.
The other place I loved was the Dutch Café. I went every day and sometimes twice per day. Having lived in Holland for 9 years, I was well familiar with the offerings on the menu. My favorites being "broodje kroket", haring and the pancakes with apple and spek(bacon). Always excellent service provided by the 4 dutch employees working there. Naomi being my favorite. Such a sweetheart.
Can't commend about the shows, because I never went to one. Was a lot in my cabin watching the episodes of Big Bang Theory and the nature documentaries by David Attenborough.
The ship is beautifully decorated. Very good job done by the interior architect. Guess it was done by Bjorn Storbraaten.
The other thing I noticed was how polite everybody was. Everybody would say good morning or hello. Something not often seen when at sea..even when selling on decks the t-shirts would stay at their place if you know what I mean (lol)
All in all a very nice cruise, and I'm already looking at another HAL cruise before the end of the year.

I'm on that repositioning cruise and we arrive on the 10th in NY, so my educated guess is that you guys may board earlier.
-
How do you sign up for *****? is it free?
-
Will be boarding the Koningsdam next week. No cabin yet though.
-
I went a couple of times to Margaritaville. Not everything what you can get at the buffet, but still a good selection.
-
Excellent value if you book the Casino Rate!
-
When is she moving to Nj?
I booked the 5 niter repositioning cruise to NJ from San Juan on May 5.
-
Looks like she will be home by Christmas 2019!
-
I'm cruising on the Regal on March 18. I don't have ***** because I just booked this week with the casino rate. As a Platinum does this mean I will have unlimited internet?
-
My thoughts are that if this particular cruise was selling well, Princess would have not put it on sale or casino rate or whatever it is called. I upgraded yesterday to a deluxe balcony and we ended up paying $369 per person with all taxes and port charges included. There were only 2 on sale. This one and the Crown to the ABC islands.
-
Ah, thank-you, I obviously missed that.
I told you Bob..lol
So that makes my guess that Voyager/ Explorer will be headed to Galveston for short cruises more plausible together with an Oasis Class I would say. Carnival has 3 ships sailing out of Galveston.
-
I know that Mariner eventually ends up in Port Canaveral doing 3/4 day cruises, but which Voyager class ship will do those out of Miami?
I thought Navigator or am I wrong?
-
Just this morning I was thinking that if she comes back to the USA, she might be doing short cruises out of Galveston. Florida already got her Voyager Class ships for short cruises.
-
Details, Bro, Details ?!? :cool:
I paid $308(with the single supplement) with all taxes included for the week.
-
Just booked this cruise last night with the casino rate!
-
Are they existing cabins or new cabins that will be added during dry dock?
-
I'm cruising on the 18th on the Koningsdam, but still no cabin assigned. Does this increase my chance of getting an upgrade?

Well like to they say nothing is for eternity. Just came back from.a cruise on the Regal Princess and now Platinum and Elite have unlimited internet(at least on the Regal). Excellent perk I must say. Really enjoyed being connected for the week.
