  1. We have been to St. Thomas and St. Martin several times but book the Feb 8th cruise just to enjoy the Royal. However, if we were to want to book an excursion from someone other than Princess, how do you know if the company/person is legit? Nervous since there is so much going on in the world.

    Just interested in a general sightseeing tour.

     

    Check the Cruise Critic Port Boards as well as Tripadvisor. We just did two private company excurisons in St. Thomas and St. Martin last week and both were outstanding.

  2. Just got off the Regal on Sunday, you can only win the $5,000 if you get a bingo on the first 50 numbers drawn, this is on every game and no giveaway at the end like I have seen done on other cruises. Also did anyone else think the Vista Lounge should not be the venue for this. The seating just does not work as half the seats face the wrong direction not to mention they use it to display artwork that blocks and occupies other seats. There must be something better.

  3. We cruised on the the Regal last week and opted for the "walk off" early debarkation upon our return. We were instructed to meet in a designated area on the ship at 6:10 AM, were were at our gate at FLL at 7:20 more than two hours in advance of our 10:00AM flight. You must be able to carry your own bags but this is the way to go if you have an early flight.

  4. Can Sanctuary be booked by the day, like for just one or two days or is it for the entire cruise? Also can it be booked in advance or only once on the ship? Thanks in advance for your replies.

  5. We are five pp with one 80 year old who want to do a little boat charter when we get off from Celebrity Reflection this month. What is the easiest to get to and anyone know which boat is better for elderly going into the water? Some charters say from Red Hook others say East End. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

     

     

    I am curious which one you booked and how it went? We are booked with Good Day Charter next month

  6. We went ahead and booked with Good Day Charters, a half day charter for the 6 of us on the "Good One". It sounds like it will be great. Captain Dusty was a pleasure to speak with and he assured me it will be the highlight of our cruise! I will post a review afterwards.

  7. I think the tender has a lot to do with it. You will never catch me staying on the ship when in port at GC. Love it there! Its clean and safe and home to 7 Mile Beach, Smith Cove, Sting Ray City, Caybrew Brewery and much more! The single best excursion we have done to date anywhere was Stingray City on Jet Ski's with Fat Fish Adventures! It was incredible from start to finish.

  8. We are booked in a guarantee "BY" or better on the Regal and I am wondering what the obstruction is and to this point haven't been able to find out. A call to Princess was no help as they said it could be many things. Like you said there are only 8 cabins on the Regal in BY category, all in the same area next to one another so what is the obstruction. If there is anyone that has been in one of these cabins your input would be most appreciated.

     

    Thanks for the response everyone but it looks like a non issue for us now as we have been assigned a standard balcony cabin on the Dolphin Deck.

  10. We just booked a January 2016 Eastern Caribbean Cruise on the Regal Princess. Going will be my wife and I, our son and his wife and hopefully our daughter and her husband. It will be the first time on Princess for all us and we are all very much looking forward to it.

  11. Just wondering how did you get to stop at the brewery? Is that a normal stop for them? How was it? Thanks!

     

    Our driver said we had time and asked us if we wanted to. We were there about 45 minutes and had several beers, it was great. Id suggest if you call to book ask them if would be possible to stop at the brewery afterwards.

  12. Thank you, that is exactly what I've been trying to find out for a while, and if they still had the trolley. Did you get the trolley ticket in side the the port or outside the gates. We look forward to that tour next month.

     

    Yes the trolley tours start inside the gate, it is easy to find and they run every 30 minutes. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
