Live diary from the Regal Princess - Jan 14-28, 2018

Do they have the Bavarian Buffet in the Horizon on the Regal? We have had it on all of our previous sailings, but no one has mentioned it on the Regal.

Thanks

Those in transit today but not getting off the ship waited in the theater. Once each manager reported their area had been cleaned, we were processed. This was about 11:10.

We have a new CD but she is only filling in for 2 months.

Please post your thoughts about the new CD. I haven't seen her name on the list of CDs before.

That's great timing for in-transit passengers. We saw that done when we did our Bon Voyage Experience on the Regal a little over a year ago.

We really like her. Have sailed with her twice already. Once as the assistant CD on the Pacific Princess 50th anniversary cruise & once as the cruise director this past October on the Royal TA. She’s around all the time & interacts well with the passengers. FYI she goes by Lexi.

Enjoying your reports.

We generally switch the week2 Elite mini bar for 2 coffee cards...to be used on our next Princess sailing. They would always come un-marked. With the talk of new expiry dates, I was curious to see what we would get....no expiry date, but both marked with today's sailing....so no brewed coffee on our next cruise.

So you're saying you did get new coffee cards and they did not have an expiration date printed on them.. only the sailing date?

Oh no.....

Hope today treats you better weather wise and that your NYQuil hangover goes away so you feel better. Enjoy this week of your cruise.

The NyQuil did the trick, I got a solid 11hrs of sleep!!! I am now in the drying out phase...

It is a nice morning in PC. Ro brought me a cappuccino and is already in the pool doing laps.

I am going to take it slow this morning and see if I feel up to a swim later on

Whoa, that's a lot of breakfast!

I went into the pool with Ro, and when she finally managed to escape, I did manage 50 laps. I am still in a bit of a haze, but the meds are keeping me dry. I will decide shortly if I will be getting off to hit the ocean [emoji305]. Maybe a swim and BBQ later.... today is the nicest we have had do far ☀️

* we have not seen Bavarian night...unless it was when we were in the CG

We boarded at 10:57am!!! I immediately went to the CG to make a reservation for Ro's birthday on Thursday. I then called room service to change our mini-bar offerings. We are now eating at Alfredos. The Elite wifi is now unlimited. The speed test is great, but it is barely working. I assume it will get better at sea. The obstructed balcony is awesome!

Have fun on part 2 of your cruise, hope your cold is better! Pasta Pasta Pasta! :)

Are you in Emerald 429? Looks like our balcony when we had that cabin.

It looks more like E408.

We are booked in 437. I was sure that was where you were!

How was the water temp at PC? We’ve been there in Feb and it’s been too cool for me to swim.

Sent from my iPhone using Forums

Temp was good, cold at first touch, but quick to get used to it...not windy so no upper cold air to worry about.

Swimming always make me hungry, and I swam a lot today!

We went to the theatre early to get good seats for the show. I thought we had already seen Fiera, but was not sure. It did not take me long to remember that we had, and I was just as annoyed this time by the use of the Pitch Perfect soundtrack [emoji12]

It was a good day. Clicks fwd one hour. NyQuil time [emoji42]

Hey Lor74. We are on the same ship and patiently waiting for the sun. It's trying! Just wondering if you heard the rumbles we did last night? We overheard a couple people got sick yesterday after lunch. I came up for breakfast this morning and noticed the servers switching out utensils from the buffet. I know this is a common practice but perhaps it was just more noticed because we heard people were sick? Just wondering if you had heard anything. Enjoy your day in cozumel. We are off to the cenotes.

How were the cenotes? I will be on this ship at the end of March and we were thinkng of doing a combined ruins and cenotes. We are looking at this because it gives you almost 2 hours at ruins and 2 hours at cenotes. The ruins only trip gives you only 50 minutes at ruins and I have read that this is not enough time.

Great review.
