Live from Regal Princess 9/23/17

[TravelingTexasGal]

Thanks so much for sharing the pics and stories. We are on the 10/14 cruise and we can hardly wait! We've been on the Caribbean for our British Isles cruise and the Crown for Alaska, but this ship looks just a tad more special. Hope the weather holds up and the leaves wait until we get there to change! :)

Old or new? I thought there was supposed to be salmon or steak choices. I recently saw a picture posted on a thread, but forget the date. Never been to MDR on embarkation. Prefer to be outside in the Florida weather after escaping cold weather in the north.

 

If all on offer is a burger or pasta, I don't see the point. Early boarders won't run into lines at Horizon and Regal has a great buffet. Plus Alfredo's (okay that isn't outside exactly).

Our cruise on the Caribbean Princess in August had just the salmon and steak main courses available along with one soup and one salad and one dessert. I missed the ravioli. I always get that when it's on the menu.

Interesting as two weeks earlier during embarkation of Regal's 9/9 Transatlantic cruise, the MDR lunch was a cut down two-entree menu.

Jonathan, still following along. Enjoying your take on the cruise and port stops. Your pictures are beautiful, especially enjoyed the ones from your sail away seeing the New York skyline and Statue of Liberty. Thanks for taking time from your cruise to post this review.

 

Cheers - Ken & Darlene

Thank You Ken & Darlene, I really appreciate it. It's fun posting them and re-living all of our fun adventures on board the beautiful Regal!

Newport, Rhode Island

September 24, 2017

 

Morning Fog burned away to reveal a cozy, colorful town filled with yachts, shops and lots of seafood.

 

We strolled along cobbled roads

and through several wharfs

Enjoyed these spectacular oysters at the Landing

3 varieties, wow, were they good

 

A Raspberry Limeade to wash it down, superb

 

Lotsa Yachts

Off the Regal bow the Newport Bridge takes enjoys some late afternoon rays

While boats sail and motor near our leviathan liner

 

We had an amazing day in Newport as the sun sets we sail for Boston

Food Porn Interlude

 

In Club Class the roving Chef July prepares amazing Nutella/Banana crepes for us each morning

Worth the price of admission

 

Poached eggs and crispy bacon - my favorite

 

Old School Jams and Jellies served table side

The pancakes were fluffy

and sublime

 

3 Words

Freshly made Doughnuts

 

 

Club Class on Regal was absolutely excellent. We truly were treated like royalty.

 

Each time we arrived at the entrance to the Concerto Dining Room we were warmly greeted, promptly seated at our favorite table.

 

All of the wait staff welcomed us with smiles, the Maitre D' Lotfi was very professional and friendly.

 

On the return sea day we changed our watches too soon and were late for breakfast by a few minutes. Others were turned away, but, when Lotfi saw us he waved us in.

 

It was like dining in your favorite neighborhood restaurant every meal, surrounded by top-notch, prompt and courteous and servers. We are sold on Club Class, it's worth every penny.

We sailed at 7:50 pm. It was supposed to be 8 but, I guess everyone was on board and we left a tad early.

 

Boston really sparkles at night. We cruised up there on the QM2 this past July 4 for the fireworks.

Cruiserking, I would love to look at your photos, but am besieged by ads on each page showing a photo. As others have not mentioned this, am I missing something re using the Photobucket site, where you post your photos? Thanks!

Hi Barb,

 

I am only uploading the pictures for Cruise Critic on photobucket. So you can see them all right here on this forum.

 

The ads are irritating. I plan to join the no ad program this weekend.

 

Thanks for following along.

Thanks, Jonathan. Does it cost anything to join the no ad program? One or two ads wouldn't be so bad, but I just counted six on one photo and yes, a viewer, can click them off, one-by-one, but who wants to have to do that? Are there any photo-sharing sites that don't have ads, such as Flickr? One of our friends inserts some of her photos directly in her daily emails when they're on a cruise and uploads the rest on photos.google.com.

Best picture I've seen of the bedroom in M107 so far.

 

Can't wait to occupy the room in January...

Boston, Ma.

Tuesday September 25

 

A warm sunny day greets us in Boston

 

We stroll along the waterfront toward the Aquarium

A pair of finely coiffed penguins greets us

Myrtle the Turtle surveys her kingdom

Everywhere lots of beautiful

and strange fish lurking
