Be prepared for decorations to disappear. We put up American flags on a Panama cruise 2 weeks after 9/11 and they were gone 4 days after sailing

We put up 2 full size stockings on our Christmas cruise. Came back one night and someone had stolen 1 of them. 😞

I love all the photos! Thanks so much for posting. We are currently deciding between a few ships, our main requirement is a good scotch menu. 🙂 Any chance you could post the photos from the Wheelhouse bar? It would be much appreciated!

Thanks for posting this. My medallions just came today. I was not having any luck finding a template. Cruise Critic board to the rescue. :) Now to find an LSU image....

Is June 01 - 12 recent enough?  We had the usual great service on board from friendly and accommodating Princess staff.  We had a fantastic waitress and room steward was really good too.  Food was fine (given we are all aware of cutbacks here and there).  I do not understand any overall negative reviews on Regal.  Sure, we can all nit-pick here and there, but please have a great time.  Regal is blessed with a good ED and CD as well.  Our main complaint was excessive noise levels of some of the entertainment scheduled in the Piazza.

 

Hey there,  I have been looking for people that have sailed on the Regal recently. I wanted to get info on what Scotches the bars have on board. Any chance you have photos, or remember what they were offering? Some of the ships have the new expanded whisky menu, I was just trying to see what was on the Regal. I am crossing my fingers they offer Highland park. :)

I can't wait to read the rest. I am super jealous of how amazing your suite was.

So I joined http://www.sparkpeople.com back in 2007, and lost 45 pounds. I managed to keep it all off, until about a year and a half after we transferred to Italy. I love pasta and pizza, luckily I only put on about 8 extra pounds. So I dusted off my SP site to get ready for my British Isles cruise in a few months. Just wanted to post here, and give sparkpeople a little shout out.

Suebee I went back and looked at your green sparkly dress, very nice. Awesome job fitting back in that dress. I wish I had kept my old prom dresses. Course they would be considered "vintage".

Brooklynfc, creating a healthy lifestyle, and losing weight are not easy. You comment about UpDog in yoga was awesome! Take pride in your accomplishments, there will be little ones and big ones, and they are all important.

I am glad you are using sparkpeople.com. That website is amazing. I used it back in 2007 to lose weight, and it has helped me to keep it off.

I wish you the very best. Hang in there and keep taking care of yourself.

We just got our leave dates approved yesterday and booked this cruise for July. As in 63 days from now, July. Your post has been a veritable font of wit and information. Thanks for taking the time to write such a thorough and entertaining review. I have spent the past few days copying and pasting like a maniac. I really appreciate the leg up in the planning department, profiting from all your hard work and what not. 2 months is not a lot of time to plan for something this huge, so I am glad I can benefit from the cruisers that have gone before me. Now to order a red binder on Amazon. They have fast shipping to an FPO address.

Fair winds and safe travels.

You will love Sparkpeople. The biggest help for me was/is the Nutrition tracker. Seeing how much I was eating vs what I should be eating. You can do it. I lost 30 pounds before my cruise. Once on the Celebration I exercised in my room doing my Tae Bo and weights lol, so I could have warm melting cake for dessert every night. Lost 1 1/2 pounds on the boat :) Take it one step at a time and celebrate the little goals. I loved going in my closet and playing the " What is too big on me know game " :) Oh and scales sometimes lie ( especially if you are strength training- which is a must - ) so use a tape measure. Good luck, you can do it!

I know WW packaged meals are easy but just be aware they use Hydrogenated oils in a lot of their products. Those oils go straight to fat and increase your risk of heart disease. Ironic that they use it in a diet product....:eek:

Sparkpeople update, 13 days in, 5 pounds lighter and 1 1/4 inch smaller. I love this site. I can't believe the owner spends about 2 million dollars of his own money each year to run this free site. Just wanted to give the post a good ole bump.

Thanks for the site info. I just signed up. Had some measuring/ size chart shock when I went out to get a dress for our Dec cruise. I love that there are sparkpoints...something to get you checking in with the site every day. I am very goal oriented and really like to be able to track my progress on there. Here's to everybody meeting their goals!! Woot.
