Rare loriva Posted November 18, 2018 #126 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Now that the Caribbean sailings have begun, can anyone provide some insight into the "rhythm" of the cruise? --What nights are formal nights? --Which menus are in rotation? Ones you particularly enjoyed or ones to skip for possible specialty dining? --What nights are which shows? --What activities did you enjoy onboard? --Where is trivia being held and at what times? --What is in Princess Live? (Never sailed on Regal before, so not familiar with that venue) Bonus points if anyone is willing to take the time to post menus or Patters or write a review. Many thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks, Formal Nights depend on the sailing, but usually the first sea day (Tuesday) and second sea day (Friday) I don't think the menus have been changed since January, and there are some threads on here with the current menus if you do a search. Trivia is usually in Club 6 (deck 6) Princess Live is the name of one of the venus on the ship. They hold "tv show" type shows in there like the game shows and such and the seating is like that of a sound stage. All of this information I was able to gather from looking at Princess Patters from a previous caribbean sailing earlier this year. I'm sailing next week so I will have more definite information when I get back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Host CJSKIDS Posted November 19, 2018 #128 Share Posted November 19, 2018 On the Western the formal nights are the first sea day and then the day in Grand Cayman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wishing on a star Posted November 19, 2018 Author #129 Share Posted November 19, 2018 (edited) Thanks KC08! The second Sea Day on the Western is not Friday... That is a late night/evening departure from Coz. We might not know for sure until we board, but on this itinerary, I believe that the second formal night might be after the earlier departure from Grand Cayman. There has also been mention of new menus, or changes in some menu items. The wine list and wine availability has also been an unknown. As well as the specific dining and show times scheduled. Then, there is the Ocean Medallion thing, and whether there will be free internet for upper level Captain's Circle members. A lot of changes and unknowns on the Regal right now!!! I will be happy to post some info after we sail soon, especially if there are no new reports before then. Edited November 19, 2018 by Wishing on a star typos, etc...

Wishing on a star Posted November 21, 2018 Author #132 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Thank you Beauty! I am seeing on the one recent Patter for the Eastern that the dining times were 5:15 / 5:30. and 7:30/7:45. So, this would be about the same times, with a slight shift later for the Early Dining. (Works of rme!) Are you for sure that Platinum will not be offered free WIFI any longer? Did you not have the free WIFI. Just wondering because of conflicting reports. If this is true, then Maybe we should go online and buy the package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beauty1492 Posted November 21, 2018 #133 Share Posted November 21, 2018 (edited) Positive! We each had 150 min that counted down. We r platinum now with Cruise elite. Now we did not use all 150 mins. But we're told that we had to use w/o buying mim Edited November 21, 2018 by beauty1492 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I purchased the unlimited package for our 12/2 cruise. Didn’t want to have to think about minutes and whether or not it would be free for Elites. It was nice while it lasted.

Its great having that option being logged in 24/7 and not screwing around with the logout.com/signout.com checking minutes blah blah. lol 🙄😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Hlitner Posted November 22, 2018 #141 Share Posted November 22, 2018 I will admit that having unlimited internet was a nice option as I was able to stream Sirus XM while relaxing in a quiet spot on deck (far from the noise polluting MUTS). But without that constant Internet connection I would have simply used my Ipod to listen to music. That being said, I am an ole guy who remembers when we had no Internet and very few even made phone calls on ships. The free Elite minutes has always been more then enough for us on our previous cruises (we have 27 with Princess). We would usually log on once or twice a day to retrieve our e-mails! On most cruises we would leave the ship with at least 100 min remaining. For us, a nice thing about cruising is to escape the routine world and not using the Internet or phone has been a blessing. For some, it is necessary to stay in touch for business or important family reasons. But for many others the Internet has become an addiction...and I have never liked the idea of being addicted to anything except DW :).
