It is a program called Mighty Cruise Ships on Quest, not a fan of huge ships and it did not change my mind, each to their own.

Thank you. It was originally to be the Crown Princess but they changed the ship. I am willing to give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are trying Iona, but expecting to find her a little to big for us. Will go out to enjoy ourselves though - after this we'd sail in a rowing boat ....

Like you we are going to enjoy ourselves whatever the restrictions may be, after a year like 2020 I am ready for anything! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpha whiskey Posted November 29, 2020 #34 Share Posted November 29, 2020 We should be on Iona right now, heading towards Spain 😔. Onwards and upwards, we have booked Regal Princess for June and Iona for Dec 2021. Can't wait🙏🤞 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m looking at that one too! OP We love the Regal and Royal - been on both, don’t mind the small balconies but love Alfredo’s pizza place 😋. I’m no foodie obviously because I’ve been happy enough with the food on all of my cruises and especially Celebrity and Princess, and P&O was fine too; more veggies as standard was my impression and better tea of course 😉. I do hope that we are not being optimistic too soon, but it does feel good just talking about actual cruising again! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am very tempted to book now with such good prices but will wait until after the New Year to make sure covid cases are decreasing and that we will be covered by insurance with our bank (who don't include covid cover at the moment) We are tempted to book the 6 night cruise before as well for a bit of warmth!

Kittyonions Posted November 29, 2020 #38 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Have sailed on both Regal and Royal Princess. Very similar to Brittania, so you will be fine on that aspect. We enjoyed the cosmopolitan feel of various nationalities on board (34 on one of the cruises). However, we felt the food on board was biased towards the American market. A prominence of beef on the menu each evening, also less variety than on the MDR menu on P and O. Have to say, a fabulous choice of cookies every time you pass through the buffet! Add on the gratuity, and service charge of 20% each time you buy a drink ( which are far more expensive) makes for a hefty bill when disembarking! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We go to the theatre almost nightly onboard, have sailed on both the Royal and the Regal and never been aware of an issue. True we are not the people who wander in at the last minute, but the only time I am aware of the theatre being full way before the performance began was when it was Gareth Gates appearing, who is reasonably well-known in the UK. NB: My DH had never heard of him (no surprises there!) but he gave a good performance. Edited January 10, 2021 by mrsgoggins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinglebert Posted January 14, 2021 #46 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Watched the show yesterday and really enjoyed both the program and the ship. Strange one as normally I wouldn't go for a ship that size but the progam sold it. Not the usual show with "will they have enough oranges to feed the passengers" pretend drama, more focused on the crew who sail the ship. Watched some others and it was interesting to see them docking in places we had been. There is a baltic cruise which was very interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You Tube exclusively features Regal Princess on the series which came out on TV. Search for "The Cruise - Season 1 Episode 1" on YouTube. The other episodes follow. There was also a series on the sister Royal Princess. I think both may also be on free catch up TV. Regards John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wowzz Posted January 24, 2021 #48 Share Posted January 24, 2021 IMHO, regardless of the "hard" product, Princess does the "soft" product better than P&O. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards John How do you know that? And how are they going to count it? I also wonder, what a "drink" actually mean in their language.. is it a bottle, a cup, a shot? In any case, I agree that alcohol consumption should be limited on board.. we got kids and families on board as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
