  1. Yup, we tested positive aboard, were isolated on the quarantine deck, and received our FCCs about 6 weeks after disembarkation. Then, about 5 months later, they disappeared off our account - called our TA, she got in the phone immediately and learned there was some glitch and they were wiped out. Fortunately, both she and I had copies of the emails with the info and they were reinstated within a day or so. Used them in November for a December cruise... Our current issue is a missing refund check from our land quarantine that Princess still owes us. It's been issued and reissued about 4 times now, we're over a year since our quarantine ended and still no check - and our case manager can see it's been issued, mailed and never received, not cashed, etc. They've cancelled payment 3 times and reissued and still no sign of it. The case manager has been helpful, checks in with us ever couple weeks, etc - but we'd really like our $$$ at this point! Good luck.
  2. Joy's Ocean Angel, Spencer Ambrose, Joe Knows, Captain Dells, Knotty Girl, Typhoon Tours, JJs Speedboat tours, Edmond's Tours, etc.. Haven't heard of Benny. Doesn't mean his aren't great, just haven't heard of him as yet..
  3. Yes, check-in can be completed online. That makes no difference to using the medallion. You can check in via app or personalizer, same deal - either way, it's the medallion for your room key, ID, etc aboard. Medallion doesn't affect medical devices - if worried about a pace maker, carry it in your pocket. You don't need to use the app at all, ever, if you don't want to. Just use the medallion as you would the cruise card (which is RFID also, like your CC, passport, etc).

    Vigie Beach

    Nope, not really any. It's a mainly sandy large cove, no rocks or reefs in the area..
  5. We eat there several times when we're in town. Thaikhun and The Real Greek are fab... We also usually hit the food court a couple times. And Nandos, of course, lol... Some great shopping there also, along with the side street with Primark and such... Pick up some lux chocolate at Hotel Chocolat - absolutely delicious! (Much of the cacao is grown in my country, we always stop there and get some when in the UK).. Enjoy...
  6. $35usd one way for up to 4 persons. (Total, not pp). The driver will usually ask if you want them to wait/return at a specific time. There's also usually a few drivers right outside the gate. Pretty sure the park is open til 5, so after you may want to head to Rodney Bay for sunset. Spinnakers is in the beach, does 2-4-1 happy hour 5-7, and stunning views. I'd suggest a reservation if you're interested (make it a day or two before) Or one of the restaurants on the beach right outside the park - Joe's Grill and Chill is great, friendly, well priced, really good food and cocktails.. Enjoy
  7. Unlimited use. Go whenever you want. Go three times a day. Whatever. Have never ever had to sign up for a time slot or anything, even at the height of Covid when cruising had just resumed.. Enjoy.
  8. It's a section of one of the midship MDRs. It's not a separate restaurant. It'll likely be starboard side deck 6 midship, but it can change. It'll be listed in the daily Event Listing on the back. And a sign out front.. And Suite guests have breakfast in Sabatini's - excellent. Mimosas, specialty coffees, etc all included (not charged against packages or account), plus just about anything you can imagine on the menu, or off. The French toast is fab.
  9. And, quick photo of the set-up. You can see the Pullman berth I'm the ceiling by the balcony door. The sofa pulls out into bed .. Color scheme will be golds on Regal..

    All taxi rates are per vehicle, not per person.
  11. Same menu, same kitchen, same food, same service. Different locations, and different access. Generally speaking, one of the midship dining rooms will be half Club Class, half "normal, while the other midship is all normal and aft is normal dining.. the aft dining room presents a challenge for access for some people for whatever reason as you can't get there from deck 5 or 6 - if on one of those decks, you have to go up to 7, all the way aft, then down to 6. It tends to be a quieter dining room because of that as opposed to the midship ones which are easily accessed from the bars and piazza there..
  12. Same ones that have been aboard for the last 10 years. Bravo and Sweet Soul Music.
  13. They did report to their CC, as clearly stated in their opening post...
  14. This video shows exactly what the set-up will be for 4. As you can see, very different from the Mini-suite photo above. Yes, this is enchanted, but the set-up is exactly the same for all Royal class ships. The only thing different is the color scheme. Regal will be golds with some navy blue.. https://youtu.be/76qsqMA-f5I
  15. That is not a Deluxe Balcony. That is a photo of the mini-suite set up. The Deluxe Balcony has a 2 person "love seat" type sofa and is a pullout sofa bed, not a flip over as shown above. The sofa bed in the Deluxe Balcony does obstruct access to the balcony when it's pulled out, as does the Pullman berth which pulls down over the sofa bed, oriented the same way - not as shown above but aligned with the sliding door . I'm depth description here (yes, an old review but nothing's changed) https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/2000561-pics-needed-regal-deluxe-balcony-with-4-persons/
  16. Try Pigeon Island. 30 or so minutes north, national Park with hikes, beach, ruins, two restaurants, absolutely lovely spot, easy to fill an afternoon and be back in plenty of time for sail away. Or, after the park, go into Rodney Bay for sunset at Spinnakers and some appetizers, then back to ship.
  17. The stand-alone beverage packages do not have to be purchased by all passengers on a cabin. One can purchase and the others not. Or they can purchase different packages. Princess has never required all passengers on a cabin to buy a package or no one can This is in reference to the Fare pricing bundled packages, and is correct - it is not not applicable when buying a buying a beverage package on a stand-alone basis. ______________ Yet another instance of Princess bungling naming. Prior examples being mini-suites - when there's no suite perks, Medallion, MedallionClass, MedallionNet, and now Princess Plus and Premier for both the stand-alone beverage packages and the Fare bundles. It's ridiculous - there's so many ways they could have named it differently..
  18. Reduit is a very popular typical Caribbean beach. $35usd for a cab ride there, for up to 3 persons.. chairs and umbrellas are $20 for 2/1. Spinnakers, St Lucia Yacht Club, Seagrapes all beachfront at the area you'll be dropped off. Bathrooms are free at Spinnakers if you're eating or drinking there. Same for Yacht Club and Seagrapes. There's Liz the Rotu Lady wandering the beach for outstanding roti. Marie's Fish Shack is at the south end of the beach, wicked rum punch . Splash Park through Bay Gardens if you want to climb and bounce around in the ocean. Watersports for hire. Bay Gardens also has a cruise day pass that includes lunch, transfers and splash park passes. Going independent, you'll get more time at the beach, etc..
  19. There's the Concierge lounge on Royal class ships (Sky is one). Specialty coffees from machine, sodas and water available, snacks throughout the day, happy hour with free wine, Concierge for a few hours a day. Small and kinda dark, but there. Suites on Princess are not comparable to Suites on Celebrity, Royal Caribbean, etc. Not as many amenities, very few private areas, etc. Which is a bonus for non-suite guests, but can be a letdown for those used to the services and amenities of Celebrity and the like.. It's nice and you're mainly getting the extra room, etc.- not the extra restaurant, lounge, butlers, amenities, etc of other lines..
  20. I added 2022 to my search and found a fair few Patterns from various Caribbean itineraries on different ships. Activities are essentially the same across the different ships for similar itineraries. This will give you a good idea for Caribbean activities. https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/2832302-some-enchanted-evening-a-pictorial-review-of-the-enchanted-princess-in-the-southern-caribbean/
  21. Google. Truly. Quick Google search of Regal Princess Patter brings up hundreds of hits..
  22. Most will say Caribe, as there's cabins above and below versus Emerald with Vista Lounge right below.. Us - Emerald as it's a quick flight of stairs up/down to Promenade deck, etc. We've never had any noise from Vista Lounge, but then, we're night owls, and at the lounge when things are happening.
  23. It's a catamaran. Almost certainly with Endless Summer or Carnival Sailing or SeaSpray Cruises.
