We won't get our actual cabin number until Thursday but (fingers crossed) it hopefully will be one of the 4 deeper balconies on Dolphin or Baja Deck. Excited to sail on another cruise line. We have had a part covered deeper balcony on another cruise line and loved it so that swayed us.

After much deliberation and looking at cabins on YouTube we decided on a deluxe cabin aft as my husband said, we don't spend much time in the bath too but we do on a balcony, so have opted for one of the bigger balcony cabins.

Thank you for your input. Some kind of a settee is important as I'm not a great sleeper and tend to get up so I don't disturb my husband so like to have somewhere to sit a bit more comfortable.

Thank you Wishing on a Star 🌟

Am I right in thinking that they are accurate to the mini suite photo and they have a full sized proper settee?

Thank you

Hi. We are thinking of doing this cruise in 2026 so will be interested in hearing your thoughts when you return.

Hi. Not new to cruising but haven't sailed with Princess before. We are considering booking a cruise on Sky Princess in a mini suite and wondered if there are any suites to avoid or if there are any hidden gems. Thanks in advance

If Deep Freeze doesn't have any, I can post some when we are onboard. We join on the 5th for the TA.

Looking forward to your musings. We are boarding on the 5th after a pre-cruise Winelands and Wildlife tour. Enjoy your post cruise wine tour.

Thank you so much. Sounds as if we are in for a blast. Have never had a Beatles night on any of our previous cruises, so here is hoping 🤞

Can I ask if there is entertainment in all the venues in the evening? We were on Voyager early on her relaunch and there was a fab pianist in the observation lounge after the show or film and a duo in the Voyager lounge. There was no orchestra and I just wondered if the orchestra there was one now. How would you rate the entertainment as a whole 😀

We too are in the Cullinan Southern Star, would you like to expand on why you don't rate it. I must admit my heart sank as I thought we were going to be in Table Bay Hotel. But it will be what it is.

We will have the same dilemma in a couple of weeks as we fly from the UK to SA and we have all sorts of strikes going on. I intend to use our hand luggage allowance wisely and pack a couple of days clothes for each of us in our carry on cases. At least that way we will have three outfits that we can mix and match with.

Sorry you have had to miss some ports but glad the entertainment has been good. Just over three weeks till we board the ship 😀

We fly on the 1st January and board the ship on the 5th. Online check-in is this Thursday 15th and all it says until the 6th is TBD. With all the strikes leading up to the new year in the UK, I'm just getting edgy about it all. I'm sure everything is fine.

We are only 3 days from online check-in and our itinerary on our cruise personalise is still say TBD for our flights (we know these and have selected our seats) our pre-cruise hotel and tour. Our TA asked which hotel would we be based in and Regent replied that it should be The Southern Sun, The Cullinan but we haven't received anything officially or even an itinerary for the pre-cruise tour. I'm sure on our previous cruises this infor has showed much earlier than this.

Thank you. Sounds a great stop and we too have the seals and pelican tour booked. Really looking forward to our overnight stop in Walvis Bay.

Loving your carry on report from Georgia Peach and we too travel with our companions and our grandchildren love following their adventures. A quick general question for anyone. On all the cruises we have undertaken and I see on yours, friends of Bill W meet. Who is Bill W? I'm just intrigued.

We are doing Cape Town to Rio De Janeiro on Voyager. Hope you have a fab cruise.

Ours are very much like airline tags and some of the us Brits that weren't receiving anything apart from online documents were given the same ones we received in the post today at the pre-cruise hotel in Rome, so yes the USA cruisers seem to be getting different ones to us.

Are you doing a pre-cruise too? Will be nice to be back onboard again.

Thank you. That is a long stint John E has done as he was on before Voyagers first cruise back, but will look forward to seeing him again. Looking forward to your report from Walvis Bay as we are overnighting there.

Much excitement in our house today as this envelope arrived from Regent with deck luggage tags enclosed. No making my own like last year and thank you to Regent for listening to the feedback and sending these out. Excitement is beginning to mount but we have a little event called Christmas to get through before our pre-cruise tour 😀

Really hoping we can sign up to this on our forthcoming transatlantic on Voyager. Thank you for all the fab positive posts about it.
