Cruising the Caribbean on the Re_al Princess : A pictorial review

[MicCanberra]

Thanks Mic , we will do our best . Rosie's review was clear , concise and lucid - everything that mine aren't . ;)

 

Do not worry, yours are very entertaining. and besides, yours is a pictorial review which is why I enjoy it so much as well. Some people do it Rosie's way and others do it your way and others still do something in between. They all have merit.:D

[MicCanberra]

Yours have wonderful pictures and very helpful advice ( Eclipse 2015.)

I'm looking forward to more from your up & coming Baltic cruise. Enjoy.

 

I agree and I too am looking forward to the next review.:D

Joe and Pat, hope you have a wonderful trip with your grandson, and everyone staying healthy throught. We are sailing west, back to Port Canaveral, so don't forget to wave down at us as you fly across the Atlantic. :D

 

 

We hope that you and Barry had a great cruise and we'll ask the pilot to wiggle the wings when we fly over . ;)

I think predictive text has got you, I assume you mean Peterhof!

Shame about the cold and wet, we have in it in the UK too, but also experienced the same on our visit to St Petersburg at the end of July '15. The weather changed in August for our second day there.

Enjoy and keep taking pictures, I will look out for them on your return.:)

Welcome back.

It has just stopped raining here, the forecast is improving, so enjoy the IOM.

What category and what type of cabin is this? It looks very spacious!

 

Thank you everybody , how about some more photos ?

 

 

My DW shared one of her veal filled pasta pockets with me , delicious !

 

 

 

 

After lunch we moved to our waiting stateroom . And this is the hall across the ship in the aft .

 

 

 

 

On first view , the cabin was similar to the Caribbean Princess - but with a flat screen !

 

 

 

Looking aft toward a sitting area and the veranda .

 

 

 

 

A very nice balcony !

 

 

 

 

With a view of the opened 17th causeway drawbridge .

It's been a interesting week in London ! Our return flight has been changed to 13:00 which will mean that we will not get home until after 21:00 EST today . Also , it's going to mean an additional 5 hours of sunlight today . :eek: We have lots of photos to share and I looking forward to beginning our next thread in a couple of days :):):D

Thank You scubacruiserx2 for taking the time to do all of these posts and photos of the Regal Princess. You provided more info than I have been able to gather in a year so we made reservations for 3 cruises on the Regal thanks to you. I wish you would take a cruise on HAL Koningsdam and report to us

. Thanks again for your efforts.

Thank you for your kind complements . :) We hope that you enjoy the Regal as much as we did , or more . And thank you for the great idea about a review on the Koningsdam , but we would have to cruise on it first ! And to cruise on it , we need to fund it . And to fund it perhaps we should start a High Flyer Koningsdam review cruise fund . But in the name of research only , of course . ;)

 

In the meantime , you may enjoy our review of the Zaandam in South America . It is one of my favorite cruise ships and my favorite cruise and place for nature .

Hi again,

 

I posted on this thread in April about your incredible photos. Saw a post from you (don't remember where) a few nights ago and ended up getting sucked back in to all 34 pages again.

 

Headed out on the Regal again in December. Thank you (again) for this amazing thread and your extraordinary pictures. Loved it then. Love them know. Really brings to life the beauty of the Regal.

Well hello Andrew , it's nice to hear from you again . We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the photos and the Regal Princess . It's a beautiful ship which been somewhat maligned by people for a few 'design flaws' , which really didn't bother us too much . In fact , we think that the R class Princess compares favorably with the highly praised , and more expensive , S class Celebrity !

 

We also have booked the Regal in December ( 4th) , so I guess that great minds think alike , (sometimes ) . :cool:
