Not to be noisy - but 'approximately' how much did that visit cost including x-ray and med, etc - and obviously you can ignore - but it might help the forum posters to get an idea of the cost as compared to on land:cool:

I had to have the Regal open up the Medical Center after hours, take an x-ray, and monitor me for about 4 hours while their pain meds took effect. Total cost including a follow-up appointment the next day was must less than I expected, $1720.46.

Unfortunately I had to use the Regal's medical Center a few days ago. They have beds with the equipment to monitor vitals, an x-ray machine and well stocked pharmacy. They may have more but that's all I saw first hand.

Took the ultimate ship tour and got to see the rest. The Regal also has an intensive care room, plenty of equipment for cardic issues, and orthopedic supplies to handle anything that breaks. They also have confined space rescue gear should the crew get into trouble.

They have plenty off stuff to keep a patient stable until you get to a port with better services but I'm not sure what a gallstone attack would require.

Curious what it's like now. Were you just there?

True, but going ashore from a cruise ship is not anything like that. Your aren't clearing Immigration officers. Maybe there should be more checking of who is escorting a child, but I wouldn't expect any issue.

Good to hear. Thanks.

I took my 2 nieces on the Breathing Observation Scooter. In St. Thomas They were 16 at the time. No problem at all. In Aruba we all went Parasailing.

thanks Tony - good to hear there aren't border hassles

Don't know about Princess, but I know at least one cruise lines requires a signed permission form to be filled out for minors to be taken off the ship by any other adults other than the ones in that child's room (generally the parents).

Thanks. I'll make sure. I'm in Canada, a couple hours North of the border & there are some hoops to jump through when a kids traveling across a border without the parents.

May I let my sister take my daughter on an excursion in St. Thomas? We're cruising next week with lots of extended family. My teenage daughter would like take this opportunity to connect with her aunt.

Thanks folks.

Does the Regal Princess have anything besides the wedding chapel where I could host a small group of 20?

following this thread with interest

we're taking a day trip to the Keys in Dec after we get off our cruise & have never been

I wonder why they don't let you book ahead online like the other excursions. Then you'd know that you have a spot & they'd know how many sessions to run.

Yes its possible.........

Ship? Cabin?

Regal - C539

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Very interested in the ultimate balcony dining experience.

Can the balconies even hold four? Do you pay per person? Maybe we're better off sending the kids off to the buffet and enjoying a romantic evening.

Sounds good. As an automation tech sounds like I'll really enjoy this. My son would like to see the galley.

Just checked online. They are giving away chef aprons now instead of bathrobes. You also get a framed photo with the Captain on the bridge by the steering wheel.

Good plan. We did Magic Kingdom before our Disney cruise & hit the gas station near our hotel before we got on the shuttle to Cape Canaveral.

Nice. We've never taken the tour. Sounds like we should.

enjoyed your review / booked C539 this winter / reassuring to see nothing bad about the cabin

thanks for making the time to write

Sigh, better to find out now I guess.

Thanks for telling it how it is.

What sports channels do Princess have for their Caribbean cruises? Sure hope it's Fox &/or NBC. Cruised Disney & all they had was hockeyless ESPN.

Think I'll give Horizon a try first & buy a card if necessary. Wow, just got back online & am overwhelmed by your helpfulness. So glad I'm here.
