Regal Princess. Tips

[hbrote]

One of our favorite on The Regal is the "Balcony Dinner" which is fantastic for the added cost.

Lunch or dinner?

Lunch on Regal Princess.  On Royal Princess it was also lunch, but on a different day.  Aft section of buffet.  Also they have lots of cake that day too.

If the winds from the stern wonderful, with a breeze from the bow OK for me.  In weather; fun, if you like to stand up on a motorcycle at 60mph 😁.  Seriously in port it's great, order lunch/dinner from room service and enjoy. 

 

This just a mini suite not a suite.

I think at this time that the 4 staterooms mentioned(L/M107 & L/M108) are technically CC minis.  But boy those staterooms' balconies are sure big!  L108 is still available on our Baltic/TA itinerary in August, but for a TA I was a little leery and chose a CC midship, but looks like a nice stateroom otherwise!

Here's my tip.  As soon as you get to your room, turn the TV on and let that mandatory safety video play.  It runs about 10-15 minutes and you can't watch anything else until you let that play.  It's the same info you get at the muster drill.

And if you are in a mini you have to do this for each tv; doing one does not affect the other.  Kinda annoying.  So I agree with MrSchwump and play this while you are unpacking or looking around to get it over with!!!!

Why do you need to let the safety video play when you have t go to the muster drill anyway?

Looks very inviting.  It must get crowded on one of Regal's standard balconies though...

I don't remember that happening to us.

We've had one in a regular balcony and it was tight but then again your  not up walking around.  They bring the table and it fits pretty nicely.

It's such a shame that Princess ruined the average balcony on the Royal Class ships.

Last year on the Regal.  Looks like I'm not the only one to experience this but maybe it's hit and miss.

We just got off Caribbean Princess and also couldn’t watch anything on TV until the safety video played. The TV was one of the new ones; perhaps it’s only those that require watching the safety video. The on demand movie selection is great, with lots of new movies.

Most recently this happened on the CB.  I tried to use the tv and get around the safety video, but nothing worked until I let the safety video run its course.  If I wanted to use the other tv had to let the safety video run its course on it too.  Glad to hear it might not be on all ships, because it is slightly annoying, but just slightly.  I know now to check first thing and run it while unpacking if it is necessary.

Was that before the Muster Drill?  I'm wondering if after the Muster Drill you no longer are required to watch the video to get to a normal channel.

Agreed, being a bit on the lanky side I can't sit in the chair facing out.  I don't see how they can do the Ultimate Balcony Dinner... but according an above post, they do it!

No, in fact it was the 2nd day of our sailing. Could not change the channel until we watched thesafety show.
