Regent Grandeur Now a Regent Ship

[bitob]

Our stop in Funchal cancelled due to a strike involving pilots and dock workers. 
 

Like many of you we have been there countless times and planned to stay on board

All that 100yr old Madeira isn't going to drink itself (nor will it taste any different in 10yrs). 😉

Not fun :  I am afraid of the airport in Madeira so I was there only as passenger on a cruise ship

and Regent is not  refunding  a few $$$  if a port is cancelled

Another heads up

 

both prime 7 and chartreuse have been open for lunch on sea days. If you want a table you have to line up at 1145!

Worse?!  Don’t offend Germans, please.  In Germany you are required to be without clothing in mutual sauna/steam room areas.

on the ms Europa there is a deck for nude sunbathing as well !

Trying my best. Actually I eat very little for lunch but Mr bitob wanted the pulled pork sandwich in prime 7. Maybe I’ll have my butler get it. I don’t stand in line

I bet you call Mr B  Max sometimes.

I went to see Sunset Boulevard last week at the Savoy theatre in London.

Nicole Scherzinger is fantastic in the role.

So good I'm going to her again.

I went to see that last week in London too ! And yes Nicole was fabulous and so was the male lead 😂

Indeed.

What about the clever camera work and the outside shots as the second act starts.

This deck was available on a lot of ships (I do not remember exactly, but I think it was Celebrity and Carnaval) I cruised on until about 10 years ago.

Like the Norma line,  but Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn.

I don't think this normally happens. We were in Chartreuse on Grandeur two days ago. Arrived at 12.15 & had a lovely meal with most tables empty.

The line versus empty tables tells us something.

Prime 7 most popular restaurant for sure. 
 

 

I will add

the food on this ship is the best I’ve had on any cruise

Thanks for all the reports from the new ship.
 

No experience of Grandeur but on Splendor and Explorer we like the excellent lunch menus in both Chartreuse and Prime 7, with a slight preference for the regular offerings in Chartreuse.

I believe the lunchtime daily specials are the same in Chartreuse, P7 and La Veranda.
