Rare redtop101 Posted November 18, 2023 #1678 Share Posted November 18, 2023 I know it’s nearing your last day and it’s been great following along with you on your journey. Thank you so much. 9 of us will be boarding Regal Princess on Dec 27th for New Year’s cruise. First time on Regal so I enjoyed your hints and tips, and humour. One final question - on embarkation day did you see tables set up by staff in the Piazza selling the Princess Plus & Premium packages, and how busy were they? I am hoping to buy the Plus package and should save over $105 US (($142 CAN) because, if added before, it would increase my Princess Platinum Protection insurance by that amount. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Saint Greg Posted November 18, 2023 Author #1681 Share Posted November 18, 2023 (edited) They do have this menu 5-7. But it seems like they don’t have them out until someone asks. At least that’s how it was today. 5:20 when I asked he had to go dig them out of the back. Edited November 18, 2023 by Saint Greg 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted November 18, 2023 Author #1682 Share Posted November 18, 2023 Oh when I walked by I could hear the Chicago portion of the first production show. It’s a new cast that started last night. The old cast were seated around me and were extra enthusiastic 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Saint Greg Posted November 18, 2023 Author #1684 Share Posted November 18, 2023 A couple of notes the navigation presentation, galley tour, going back stage and on stage…not things I have ever gotten to do on Carnival…apart from the chefs table galley tour…and if they did have those things I would expect them to be more on journey cruises. Not run of the mill western cab cruises. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw them being sold outside Sabatinis Deck 5...that was leaving Fort Lauderdale on Oct 24th..

Rare Saint Greg Posted November 19, 2023 Author #1690 Share Posted November 19, 2023 (edited) Does anyone know about fortuna luck? Is it a mascot or something? Apparently that was the cd’s job before becoming cd. Like the cd’s dad died so he had to go home and she got promoted to that over asst and jr cds because of comment cards. And did good enough to get it on a permanent basis. Said she has a deal that makes this her ship at least until 2025. From NJ @Jamman54 Hollow I think it was.

I know you can’t use the Plus or Premium package for alcoholic drinks out of Galveston until you are in International waters - I think 12 or 15 NM. Don’t know how long that takes. I sure hope they sell the packages onboard as it would make a saving on the insurance premiums for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edited 31 minutes ago by Saint Greg That's a bummer that: (1) the drink list is time-limited (would they really deny you at 4pm if you wanted one?); and (2) you have to ask to see the thing. Seems rather odd and awkward. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh Lordy we got so sick and tired of her bad jokes on our last cruise - on the Caribbean Princess. 🙄 She is the casino mascot so to speak. Her cheesy jokes are lame and the Fortuna’s voice on the CB drove us nuts. Hopefully the one on the Regal is better. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We saw her on a couple of previous Princess cruises. Same character, different dress up artiste. She ran all the Bingo sessions on our cruises and was supposed to bring you luck - and she did - I won $100 on any line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She kept referring to it as her previous job. Finally someone asked what the previous job was. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
