As you can see from our signature, we have been on a "few" cruises 😂 We always book an AQUA class cabin, well worth the extra charge for one reason.... The BLU DINING ,,,this is the small dining venue that is ONLY available to AQUA class guests I think that they only allow the "best" of the staff to serve in the BLU dining room On this past cruise every meal in BLU was OUTSTANDING, Gourmet quality, go with what your server recommends Also, if you see something on the menu from the MDR, they will get that for you...Shrimp cocktail is always available along with excellent Onion soup... Absolutely fantastic cruise.....

Good to see all the "opinions" obviously everyone has a different expectation and experience.. We are going to be on our first REGENT cruse in December...having been on 26 crises in the past on Celebrity, MSC, Princess etc... Only 10 months to go, with a Celebrity sailing in between....😃

Right "US" old timers remember what it was like....but the Young uns' don't know...so, "THEY (the cruise industry) aren't concerned We were on a recent princess cruise that had the absolute worst food ever, we cancelled the next cruise and are going back to Celebrity Hopefully this will be better....if not, then "hopefully" our December on Regent will be

We have cancelled this cruise thanks Have a great time

Uh Huh...

Simple IGNORE it

Sorry that the post repeated itself... As far as the food ...for example ROAST BEEF sliced from a whole beef that was so tough that it could not be chewed and had to be spit out...not once, but TWICE and then again as the TURF in a SURF and TURF totally unacceptable that was just inferior meat My other meal of VEAL SCALLOPINI on mashed potatoes..no sauce or mushrooms !! Along with my other observations....UNACCEPTABLE.... On of the reasons for cruising is to ENJOY the FOOD.... And if you don't care for my comments...DON"T READ THEM...these are MY OBSERVATIONS YMMV

In general, should there be a saving in TOTAL COST of a cruise by booking through an Travel Agent rather than using the cruise prices posted on the Cruise Lines internet or brochure prices? What have you found to be the percentage of difference

We are just off a REGAL PRINCESS 8 day cruise... Love the SHIP Love the STAFF Love the MEDALLION Embark and Debark were EXCELLENT However, we found the food in the MDR was generally terrible. Food in the Buffet was just OK I think the food has been much better on our last cruises...Pre Covid.. We have cancelled our next Princess cruise and are switching back to CELEBRITY,

December 10 cruise on REGAL, internet was very slow on SEA DAYS and in the evenings, in port when the ship is "empty" it was OK

I paid $120 total for our recent 8 day cruise on Royal. It's very convenient, just a short walk from the ship, all inside....just remember WHERE you left the car!

Definitely some odd choices, nice piece of Veal..supposed to be Scallopini with mushrooms, and serve it on masked potatoes ..one tiny mushroom no sauce? Beautiful sliced roast beef that could pass as shoe leather, inedible, I could go on but,,, We are just off Regal Princess 8 day and I can only say that the food in the MDR was generally terrible. Nothing like it was "post Covid" Better at the buffet, at least you could "try" things and fins something that was passable,, **********Finished with Princess

If we are sitting at a table and the waiter brings our drinks and sandwiches or pastries. I do give a small tip.... If we are sitting at a bar, not just getting a drink I also tip the bartender. We also give a tip to the cabin steward. When you think about how hard they work, hours and days, I think "we" can afford the few dollars

OK Last night's dinner was a bit better, Escargot (very good) and Surf (very good) and Turf (ech).. So OK "wise guy" 😁 (someone had to do it)
