3,000+ Club (3/15)

  1. You may need a lot of patience. My husband had a terrible accident at the Civitavecchia port terminal on November 17, 2022. He was in Italy hospitals until December 3, 2022, before we were finally able to return home. I didn't get our trip interruption claim filed until the end of that month because we were so busy with "getting well." By the time it made it through all the hoops, AON finalized the claim on July 12, 2023. Never once did they have to ask us for additional information or documentation, which means the delay in the process was all on AON, not on us (or our Medicare/private insurance).
  2. Missing two ports would not have ruined this cruise for us. Witnessing shameful passenger behavior like this might have.
  3. Hi. I'm always on a search for a "spicy" or "savory" cocktail/martini (other than a Bloody Mary). I will definitely be requesting a Mayan Heat after reviewing Princess's recipe for it. Is it shown in any of the pictures you posted?
  4. Oh, that's fabulous! Since the TA is basically a "cold weather" cruise, I was anticipating throngs of people inside versus out on the pool decks!
  5. Our thoughts--and plans--exactly! The Traditional Dining experience was too important to us.
  6. Thank you. We do board in Civitavecchia.
  7. Me, too. Which now begs the question . . . Where do we get our medallions at the pier? I don't want to stand in the wrong line for them and then be sent to another line.
  8. Absolutely not for us. We loved the old Traditional Dining because it gave us the opportunity to enjoy dinner with the same group of people--whom we met on the first night--and get to know them well over the course of the cruise. We remain in contact with friends from those evenings. As it stands now, even if you're able to arrange the same table and servers each night at a shared table, you will be with new cruisers each night. Every night's conversation will begin with the basics, starting with "where are you from?" It's difficult to make true friends with nothing more than one night of those basic conversations. We are truly going to miss Traditional Dining.
  9. Your photos are stunning. Thanks for sharing them AND your report! Looking forward to being on the Regal in November from Rome to Fort Lauderdale. And being in Rome for a few nights at the Albergo del Senato! We do love Rome.
  10. We have "been there, done that"--four tours with Rome in Limo and three transfers (FCO to hotel; hotel to port; port to FCO). Rome in Limo cannot be faulted for a single thing! Tours are wonderful, and the company is absolutely dependable AND so prompt in answering e-mail inquiries. We also stayed at the Albergo del Senato, and were not disappointed in any aspect. Yes, the piazza is a happening place at night! So is the rooftop bar with the fabulous views, I hear, if you are there "in season" for the rooftop to be open. Sadly, we were not, and definitely won't be for our stay this November. Can't wait!
