@TxTeach79 We did the Sky Midnight Sun cruise in June, absolutely our best cruise ever. I don't know if you've been to Norway but the best way I can describe it is the little villages at Epcot except they're real and there's fabulous scenery surrounding them.

I thought the same thing. I don’t want Huevos Rancheros made with a dry flour tortilla…looked more like a deconstructed breakfast burrito.

Too bad everyone can’t go home early, hazardous environment and all that.

I really liked the Princess breakfast sandwich, had it delivered to the room a couple of times and bought it from IC as well.

Looking forward to this one. My favorite thing about Plus was the ability to order wine and specialty coffee for room delivery. Granted, you can always order to the room but with other cruise lines you'd be charged for the drinks even if you have a full package. Love that it's an inclusion on Princess.

I'll vote for Moxy as well. As previously stated a great area and breakfast buffet, and exceptionally friendly staff. My sister and brother-in-law picked met me at Heathrow since they had a car and had been driving around England for several weeks. The ride to Southhampton was stressful even with the navigation system in the rental. In addition to driving on the other side there are a lot of traffic circles and two lane roads. I was able to enjoy the scenery but my brother-in-law had to really focus on his driving and my sister had to be vigilant in watching for signs, exits, etc... They both commented the next morning how it felt like a weight had been lifted off their backs once they turned the car in . My brother-in-law really likes to drive too. I really enjoyed Southhampton and the Titanic tour, as well as Stondehenge and Salisbury are easily accessed if you have a couple of days.

@Saint Greg I was reading another Regal review, Blerk one, and there's no alcohol sold until the ship reaches international waters...not even the abreviated menu that RC does. It might be a good idea to take something on board with you, Princess allows one bottle of wine

I’ve never heard of someone other than myself having low sodium. TBH I actually laughed when I was told the results of the blood work…I salt anchovy pizza. Who knew I should be doing something? Thank-you, I’ll look into this.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on Princess.

Traveling as a family we really need connecting rooms. I realize it may not be possible but if you can please change your cabin and open up the possiblity to a family that would prefer/needs that cabin feature.

I just checked a menu and it says extra entrees are charged an additional fee, nothing about limits on sides. That would be annoying, I like to get mushrooms or creamed spinach with mashed potatoes.

Looks like a great dinner Sid. I too would be happy to share the Champagne. I'm a good friend that way 🙂

It's like being a good driver...if I'm a great driver but someone runs a red light and hits me my skills/OCD don't do me much good. If the bathrooms that passengers use are missing soap can only imagine what's going on in the rest of the ship.

Hoping for a speedy recovery for both you and the weather.

I’ll be retiring soon so last minute is my cruising strategy going forward. I want to go everywhere, I have points across various airlines, I can be flexible.

David Letterman used to say a line that reminds me of this...something about being in a restaurant and being offered extra fries because they were burnt.

Gross. Why would you want one of your own pillows touching anything on a plane. Maybe they throw it away after?

Thank-you @heebee8 Great detailed review.

I'll join previous posters and say I've been looking forward to this. Firenzia will be in California next year so this will help me plan. Thank-you!!!

Have a great cruise Sid!

Thank-you all, I will try calling again. @orkaren1 I redemmed them for obc.

Hello, On the 6th I transferred $1200 of BA reward points to my RC cruise in April. Denominations were 2 $500, 1 $150, and 1 $50. The two smaller ones were credited to my account w/in a couple of days, the two larger ones still aren't there. I called and was told that sometimes it takes up to two weeks before sail date, (April for me), before they show up. Really irritated as I wanted to use them on drink packages...there is an okay sale now, $66/day and I'm assuming there will be a better one on Black Friday. I could just buy the packages but I shouldn't have to. Has anyone had experience with this? TIA.

@Onlyoneash This, on Panorama at Long Beach. Here is my review from July of 2022, July 9-16 Panorama, special needs https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/2868286-july-9-16-panorama-special-needs/

This. I was on QM2 on the 9/22-9/29 TA and I overindulged on both food and drink. As of 10/11 my weight was back to pre-cruise. There is a lot to be said for high quality base ingredients. As Americans we'd be much healthier if we were more stringent on food production and safety.

Never that I've seen. We have a Royal cruise booked for April, I'm really hoping the drink package goes down from the $71/day it currently is.
