Just off the Regal last Sunday and I can tell you it was NOT a new luxury mattress.  It was an ok mattress, but definitely is in need of replacing!

Goat cheese souffle and fettucini alfredo !

Just got off Regal on Sunday and yes, we were given a pager while we waited for anytime dining.  Worked great!

Thought I would let you all know I was able to grab B733 last night.  Hope this cabin works out for me and my motion sickness!!  Just bought some non-drowsy Bonine to try too!

Thank you all!  Great tips and suggestions!  Rooms have opened up and I have a call in to my TA to try and change rooms.

Pal88 and pcsunlover....thank you so much for your help.  Unfortunately as we booked this cruise so last minute the only cabins left are either way forward or way aft.  I am sure we will have a wonderful time no matter!!

Looking at either A124 or C736.  We are doing a last minute Eastern Caribbean cruise on the Regal.  I have booked A124 but am wondering if C736 would be better.  We have never cruised at this time of year and I am worried about motion/rocking as I can tend to some motion sickness (even when using medication).  Would appreciate any help, pros/cons of either location, etc.  Thanks so much!

I have the Yellow Fish Cruise Blog open on my computer as I type! So enjoying reading it and living vicariously through you on your adventures!

The Grand Mediterranean on the Regal! Not a relaxing cruise but absolutely amazing! Looking forward to the 28 LA/Hawaii/South Pacific that we have coming up!!

I must have found a true gem of a TA because he always gives me great OBC!!

Following with great interest. Hope to do this in Fall 2019.

My husband and I are also planning on this cruise in Fall 2019!

I purchased the weeklong Enclave pass on our April 2017 cruise and, sadly, felt like it was a waste of money. The pool (to me) was not hot enough. The beds were unheated. The best part for me were the steam rooms (i had a bit of a head cold). Would I purchase it again? No!

We were on the March 19th and 26th Regal Princess Eastern Caribbean cruises and had a fabulous time. Prior to leaving I was on the Princess website and saw that I could prebook for Crown Grill and Sabatini's. As I was celebrating my birthday during the second week I decided to book a table for 5 at Crown Grill for 7:30pm and again two nights later at Sabatini's for the same time.

The night before we were scheduled for CG I remarked to my dh that we hadn't gotten the notification from CG that we were scheduled for the next night's reservation. My dh went down to guest services and they said that they could see we had made the reservation and paid for it and that we were all set.

So we show up a bit before our reservation time at CG and they say they have no reservation for us!! It was my 60th birthday and my dh was not happy! He asked to speak with the manager, explained everything and was told that they had never been notified by the corporate offices that pre booking had been available. So they were now horribly overbooked and had to bring extra wait people down from other restaurants!! They did accommodate us at 8:30pm.

Sadly, it happened all over again at Sabatini's!!

I am wondering if there are exercise resistance bands in the Regal Princess gym? I am in the middle of physical therapy for back issues and am using the bands as part of my therapy. TIA!!

NDCruisers too....may I ask if you rented from the Harley dealer or through the st maarten excursion company? My husband and some friends (all experienced riders) are very interested in doing this. I see the Harley tour is $350pp whereas the st maaarten excursion company is $181. Big difference but not sure why!? Thanks!

TexasRealtor...we do the same thing. Like knowing everything is paid ahead of time. With a few specialty coffees in the morning, bottled water and drinks throughout the day and wine at dinner it is well worth it for us.

We did the Med in July 2014 and it was brutally hot! The best advice I got was to pack small umbrellas, which I did, and they were the best thing i packed. We used them on our tours of Pompeii and Ephesus. Bring lots of water with you too on your excursions.

Would I do the Med again in July? No!

Thank you all for your responses! The 8 of us will be on for the first cruise then the other 6 are getting off leaving my dh and I to enjoy a week to ourselves!! So I will be sure on turn around day to get up there and reserve chairs for the two of us for week 2!

Hi all.....we will be cruising the Regal this March with a group of 8. We all want to book Sanctuary for the week and are wondering if anyone has any suggestions for what time to arrive at the port to help ensure that we make it up to Sanctuary before they sell out (if they do??). Any help would be much appreciated! TIA!

By far the best trip review I have ever read! Please tell me you will be doing trip reports for all of your upcoming cruises!!!

Oh definitely me!!

Thanks chrysalis! Appreciate the help!

Wondering if anyone knows how we book a private cabana for our stop at Amber Cove in the DR next March? So far there is only one excursion showing up for Amber Cove and it is a sightseeing tour. Thanks!

We also did a private tour (RomeinLimo) and they were fantastic! I would book with them again!

We are now Princess devotees! When the kids were young we loved Disney, tried RC and it was just not the right fit/feeling so we ventured over to Princess and have found the right fit.

We are looking for a relaxing cruise....don't care too much about the entertainment as we are just as happy to sit on our balcony with a glass of wine at night as we are to go see a show. Our days are generally spent at the Retreat pool with a good book and a tropical drink.

We have always found the food to be very good. We love that Princess offers anytime dining so we can choose when and where we want to eat.

It will take a lot to ever pull us away from Princess!
