RNRcruisers, Can you tell me what night had the lobster in MDR? Going on Regal in couple weeks and 10 yr old grandson looking forward to it. Thank you.

Thank you for that.

How long did it take to get into international waters, to be able to get an alcoholic drink? Does that apply to sodas too? We have the Plus Package.

Can you tell me how long it took to get into international waters? We leave from Galveston on Regal next year and I know the kids will be wanting sodas. We do have the Plus Package.

We are interested in a Bosphorus cruise tour, that ends at 4:30 pm. We need to be back on ship by 6:00. It looks like we need to take a tram to/from port to meeting place. Then I understand it’s a long walk back through the terminal. I believe we are the only ship in port that day. We are not very fast walkers. Anyone do a tour like this or think we could get back in time?

I read that the new cruise terminal takes a long time to walk through after getting off cruise ship. Our ship just rescheduled arrival at 10:00 vs 9:00. We had reserved a boat excursion whereby they say the latest they now could pick us up, at the dock is 10:40. Is this doable? Thanks.

That’s exactly what happened to me too, just the other day.. I have more OBC than DH and when I booked a couple excursions, I had leftover and he had none. And had to put the remainder of his on CC. I also thought in the past it was combined. I guess I made the mistake of using their chat service instead of calling direct to ask, and answer is that since it’s in my name, only I could use it. I still have a couple more excursions we may book, so I’ll call Princess direct and hope that person knows the answer.

This may be a silly question, but since never having experienced this situation, I have to ask. ( and don’t see any posts regarding) We will be on a 21 day Med cruise r/t Rome with a stop in Athens and another in Barcelona whereby new or existing passengers will be arriving or leaving. Since this is obviously not just a pier stop but one involving a terminal, my question is: when I want to leave the ship to go explore the city, do I just exit like one does at a port stop or is there something different that takes place for those stops? And then returning to the ship, do I go through security and scanning in the terminal? Then? Thanks for any help.

Thank you so much cruisemom42 and marazul! So very helpful.

First off, thank you to everyone on these boards with the advice you give us “newbies”. With that said, my hubby and I are now booked on our first Med cruise. We fly into Rome 2 days pre-cruise (actually more like 1 1/2 by time get to city center Rome hotel). Our 2 must sees are the Colossium, and St. Peter’s Square and Basilica (not necessarily the museum). If time permits, the Trevi fountain. We are early 70’s, still able to walk, albeit more slowly nowadays. We are staying at the Hotel Smeraldo and had planned to walk, if feasible, to these sites. Can anyone suggest if this is possible and in what order/timeframe can it be done. Or any other comments with do’s and dont’s. Anxious but excited! Oh forgot, will be there this July. Thank you.

We are both in early 70’s and still mobile but not actively, no walkers, etc. Looking at taking a 21 day R/T Rome with 15 ports. Never having been to Europe, although we have cruised many times, do you think this is too much? Considering the cost of airfare from the US, and not sure how long we will be able to travel, thought maybe this a good way to taste all the big cities in case we can’t later on. Any suggestions or criticisms? Thank you.
