J and H Posted June 30, 2004 #1 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Hi All, My partner and I are sailing on the Regal Princess 10 day Alaska from San Fran on 7/15. Never been on Princess before...anyone have any good tips, ideas, suggestions? We love to have fun (within limits - LOL) but a nice sauna would be a little fun :) Thanks!

HighRoller Posted June 30, 2004 #2 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Guys I have cruised Princess 7 times in the past 2 years mostly with my partner and once with my mother. I personally feel they give a lot of value for the money you dish out on a cruise....very gay tolerant, mostly well travelled passengers and excellent service and food...you'll be hooked I am sure.:cool: :eek: :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brennivan Posted July 22, 2004 #3 Share Posted July 22, 2004 My partner and I have been on two cruises with Princess. The Grand/W. Caribbean and the Star/ Mex Riviera. We enjoyed ourselves immensely and recommend it highly. If possible, get a mini-suite. You can carry-on all you like or be very subdued. It is a great line and the staff is very accomodating.

simsfla Posted July 22, 2004 #4 Share Posted July 22, 2004 My partner and I cruised on the Grand Princess last year along with some friends and before we left the dock one of the dancers came up to us and told us about "Friends of Dorothy" he would be hosting and to watch the daily activity sheet they place in your room. On the Tuesday of the sailing we all met in one of the cocktail lounges and about 12 couples showed up. Our dinner table went from 4 to 24. Loved it. We became very good friends with two of couples at the table and have stayed in touched. The staff were very nice. RCCL is also a good cruise line.

jimnbillnpa Posted August 26, 2004 #8 Share Posted August 26, 2004 we were on grand last march, 7 day w/carib...met a couple from Kansas in this discussion board...met up with them once we were on board...had a great week...FOD meeting was Tuesday...about 30 in attendance...we spotted other family members on board who either chose not to attend or didn't know what FOD meeting was, but we knew most everyone by the time we got to the meeting (that old gaydar in overdrive)...hosted by one of the assistant cruise directors (gay)...glad I overpacked...unless you're into tuxes, one dark suit will work for both formals nights if you choose to participate, but you might feel left out if you don't...agree with the comment on the mini-suite...people say you're never in your cabin, but that's a crock...it was nice having the extra space to spread out and relax, particularly when getting ready for dinner, or after a day running around on shore...also, since we made friends, nice to have the extra space to entertain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
