Well, sort of. There was one dispenser for a combined shampoo/conditioner and one for liquid soap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. However, we did have to show the Spanish Customs folks at the airport our CDC vaccination card proving we were at least fully vaccinated before we were allowed to go and pick up our baggage.

Rare JP350 Posted July 27, 2022 #754 Share Posted July 27, 2022 @Ken the cruiserHow did the TV show impact you. If it did at all. I'm just wondering if it was like an inconvenience or a distraction with the cameras around everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then, we never really hung out where they were filming, just maybe when we were passing by on occasion. That is except when we ate lunch near Outriggers on port days. We saw them filming up there at least twice, but they weren't bothering anybody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure everybody who was on the ship will be watching every episode just to see if they got in the shot somehow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn’t it a 2 in 1 where both the shampoo and conditioner were mixed together, or was that a perk for booking a CC mini suite? In any event if there was conditioner in the combo we were given in the shower dispenser, it definitely was a cheaper quality than 2 in 1 combo I use back home.

We were in a cc minisuite and had a combo shampoo and a bath gel. I wash my hair with anything. DW brought along various shampoos, conditioners etc, and declared that even if hell froze over, she would not wash her hair with the Princess shampoo ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Ken the cruiser Posted August 4, 2022 Author #763 Share Posted August 4, 2022 (edited) For those interested we are getting ready to board the Celebrity Summit, a revolutionized M-Class ship, on Sunday for a 24 day B2B from NJ to Canada, Greenland and Iceland and then back to Boston. We will be in an aft-facing Aqua cabin, which we are so looking forward to, and will be posting both our onboard experiences as well as our adventures ashore to my following thread. As we had so much fun on our recent Med cruise on the Regal, it will be interesting to compare experiences as they are still very clear in our minds.

I followed your live Regal thread as we sail on the 27th of this month, this is only our 2nd Princess cruise. Our usual line is Celebrity. We were just on the Summit to Bermuda in June, so I will be following along on your Summit Cruise. I love your live thread. Looking forward to it.

I'm just wondering if it was like an inconvenience or a distraction with the cameras around everywhere. By the end of the cruise we were really fed up with the filming. It spoilt our last hour in the Sanctuary as the tv crew had taken over the whole port side. They started setting up for a 5.30 pm shoot an hour earlier and was making a racket. So much so one of the actors came over to apologise. Then on the last day in the Outrigger bar a cameraman wanted to film the ship’s wake. Made no attempt to excuse himself as he passed by us and didn’t retract the camera tripod legs. The wife flipped! Told him in no uncertain terms how rude he was. Club 6 was off limits to passengers the whole cruise which meant the Vista lounge became the place to go late at night. Allegro restaurant was partially close the whole time too for the film crew. There were some 150 TV people aboard according to guest relations. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njkate Posted August 7, 2022 #770 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Ken I’ve just read through this entire thread and your posts were informative and your photos awesome. A question, I’m not new to cruising but all my cruises have been on NCL, I booked the Regal for British Isle July 19 2023. it’s myself, son, dil and 8 year old grandson I’m getting nervous as I’m not dragging formal clothes across the pond. I cruise to relax, unwind and explore the beautiful world. Will I fit in on a cruise on Princess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DH wears a long sleeve shirt, sometimes but not always a tie, and khaki's or darker pants (like Dockers). Never had a problem. We did BI on Royal a few years ago, loved it. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn’t want to wear a tie any more. No problem! And I just wear dressy top, dress pants and dress shoes. Not formal at all.
