Please think about posting a review on our review board when you return. Enjoy your sailing!" Radio was awarded the badge '"Live from...."' and 10 points. Welcome to "LIVE" from Regal Princess. Hello everyone, and good day. The Sea is Calling. I will be flying to Fort Lauderdale tomorrow to sail the beautiful Regal Princess on October 24th (This Tuesday). I really don’t like to fly, and this is the 2nd time I’ve flown this year (“Oh the humanity”), but I really wanted to sail to a couple of ports that I have not been to. The last time I sailed with Princess was 20 years ago on Grand Princess (2003). Regal Princess is much newer (2014) Regal Princess has been sailing in the United Kingdom all summer and is finishing her 15-night repositioning cruise from Southampton to Fort Lauderdale. I am also sailing a repo cruise from FLL to Galveston where Regal Princess will be spending the winter. I am really hoping for some nice weather in Fort Lauderdale as I will be staying there for 2 nights (Pre-Cruise) near Port Everglades. After the cruise, I will be staying an additional 1 night in Houston before coming home. Regal Princess will be sailing a very nice 12-night itinerary. We are scheduled for port calls at Tortola (BVI), Antigua, Curaçao, Aruba, and Cozumel. (with a bunch of pleasurable sea days) I have been following many reports that offer many nice features of Regal Princess as well as some things that aren’t very nice. You will be viewing the ship through my eyes, and I will provide you with my thoughts onboard. Some friends will be joining me on this cruise, and it should be a lot of fun. I am looking forward to entering Passenger Terminal 2 at Port Everglades and stepping onboard Regal Princess this Tuesday. There will be much more coming in just a few days . . . Thanks for tuning in.

Prices are the same on all ships. $40 full day. $20 half day. $30 full day if book entire voyage. There are also Cabanas at a very steep $220/day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking at the May 15 on Regal Princess and just realized it doesnt go to Scotland Highlands. The one place that is a must see. Cant do the May 3rd, as I will be on a TA on our way over to South Hampton. Thinking we will just have to add 4 days to the trip, backtrack and go the Highlands seperately.

Rare Radio Posted October 23, 2023 Author #24 Share Posted October 23, 2023 (edited) Hello everyone, I made it to Fort Lauderdale in one piece. The flight was smooth, but I had to connect at CLT. I had a 2-hour layover but we arrived at FLL at about 7:25 PM. It took me about 30 minutes to get my luggage, but it was a very short ride to the hotel. I don't like to fly . . . The weather was nice and warm (81°f) when I landed. Tomorrow the weather should be the same and it will be a “Radio Rest” day for me because Tuesday is CRUISE DAY! Radio My ride from Charlotte to Fort Lauderdale is waiting I wonder if the Captain needs some help. The Security lines at CLT were very long. My Flight Attendant was very nice and had nice jokes.
