The slot pull was fun. Didn't hit it big but everyone still had a great time

I agree this is an interesting review.

But,I would also add the reviews of Pescado Amarillo and Bimmer09(aka Norris Adair ) to the list of cruisers who post about their travels with great photos and interesting reporting.

Bugsy,I hope you enjoy your vacation!

 

Another name to add when it comes to the Royal (and by relation :D the Regal) no one beats Dave (dmwnc1959) for his original thread on the Royal as it was being built (http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1766069) and then the thread on his two week cruise (http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1961004). They are still quoted widely and his pictures show up frequently on this forum.

 

Thank you to everyone who takes the time to share their impressions - both written and photographic - with us!

Agree 100%. Dave's threads mentioned above were the best I have ever read, and he was so helpful to so many people with questions about the Royal.

 

Sadly, Dave no longer participates in Cruise Critic, and he is missed!

My mothers jaw just dropped.

Shes always wanted to do an Afternoon Tea while cruising but never managed to do it on her previous three. Thank you for sharing!

Boy this sure is a fun thread. Everything onboard the ship looks amazing. I am sure all the food venues are excellent. I have never sailed Princess; however, I feel I know this ship thru your eyes. Thanks for posting this live thread. Cheers

Hey Chris awesome review, just found it! Quick question about the Pier 66, we will be there in Jan for our Oasis cruise, was your room a jr suite or just a regular tower room. We reserved a jr suite tower room via priceline express deals and just wondered if the room you had is what we'll get.

 

Thanks and keep the review coming!!:D

Was this the free tea or the paid one?

No mine was a regular tower room but the junior suites are nice... try to get one on a high floor

I have to wait awhile until I board the Regal. Your live report is making it easier. Thanks for sharing!

Great pictures, Chris. What was the guy doing at the top of that glass looking tree...not sure what that was.

Does anyone know if the Star Princess looks as good as this ship? It looks gorgeous.

Dave still checks in on CC from time to time and even posted on here back on page one. I know unfortunately he had to cancel his upcoming sailing on Regal and had posted that he was taking a break from CC.

That was the champagne waterfall for formal night.

 

Star is a grand class ship like Ruby which I sailed on in April of 2012. Beautiful ships as well.

Hard to tell it was formal night. Seems very relaxed attire ... Just spotted the one tux apart from staff. Were the photos typical of how passengers were dressed or were there more in evening dress earlier in the evening. I will never be able to persuade husband to take a tux if he sees the pics. I love the formal nights but wouldn't want more than two a week. The ship looks beautiful. You are doing a great job for Princess. I would ask for gratuities [emoji38].

I had missed his post, thanks for pointing it out, Chris. Glad he is following along, he is very much missed here! Loving this thread, thanks again for all of your hard work!

[cruise crazy64]

LOL see ya soon, just a couple more days!! woohoo let's all celebrate!!

Good morning friends and welcome to day four of LIVE from Regal Princess! We are docking in Grand Turk as I type this. We will also be joined by Carnival Sunshine in port today. Some friends and I will be heading ashore to check out Jack's Shack and hopefully enjoy a day at the beach but without the crowds.

 

So stay tuned as the day gets under way! :)

 

 

Good morning Grand Turk
