You're welcome - we were thrilled to be on the Regal and we traded the gin and scotch for more vodka and cognac . :cool:

After consulting our ship's guide map and Princess Patter , we headed upstairs for a look around .

I have not been on the Regal yet. Going March 20. Can you tell me about the Ocean Seafood Bar? How much and was it good?

Thanks

We didn't try it and it didn't seem very busy on our cruise . Perhaps one of the other readers could who has tried it could tell us .

Thanks for the ride along. We so enjoyed our cruise on Regal and I hope you enjoy yours.:D

 

It's great to hear another satisfied customer and we're glad that you could come along for this one ! :) :D

One thing I have always hated in ship bathrooms is the position of the toilet paper. Most of the time they are located in a very awkward location and when they aren't they get wet. Surely there is a compromise position. I have only had it on one ship and that was due to the bathroom being so small I could reach across from the loo to get it.

And a stocked mini bar ( we brought the wine )

 

 

 

What is the wine ? Cab sav and a Shiraz?

[MicCanberra]

It was a winner for the balcony dinner ! :) :D

 

 

Lovely, we will have to do that one day.:D

[MicCanberra]

 

But the shower stall was now a little larger and shower head can now be hand held - a definite improvement !

 

 

 

However - it still had the same clingy curtain .

 

Yes, shower curtains can be irksome. I bring along two little magnetic clips and just use them on the bottom of the shower curtain, it adds some weight and stops it sucking onto your body.:D

BINGO ! We have a winning ID . A Princess pillow chocolate for Norris . :)

[scubacruiserx2]

We tried to book the Sanctuary for one of our days at sea , but all of the lounges we sold out . We think that there were a large number of B2B cruisers on board early . We then hustled back for the ever popular lifeboat drill . Our's was held in the Vista Lounge .

 

 

 

We returned to our balcony for the sail away . Looking down just before casting off .

 

 

 

" Props engaged Captain , all ahead one quarter "

 

 

 

 

On the way out of port we saw the Allure of the Seas trying to land a plane on her flight deck .

 

 

 

 

And the Silhouette ready to go

OP - what terrific photos! Really enjoying your pictorial review. Looking forward to seeing more! Thanks so much for posting!

Oh my gosh, the size of the balcony is fantastic. That's one reason I've shied away from the Royal or Regal. We are huge balcony lovers. I'm going to have to reconsider. Now, if you show me a true promenade deck it would seal the deal.

 

Looking forward to the rest of the cruise.

Ooops ,well spotted Mic , I had forgotten that detail - it was quite awkward !! :o

Yeah , it was our last bottle of the 2009 Shiraz that we had enjoyed so much ! :) :D
