Regal questions

[voljeep]

Is REGAL making its scheduled port stop in Grand Turk today ?

 

if so, support local businesses ...  head left out of the cruise port and say hi to Jack and Janet at Jack's Shack - about 500 yards or so down the beach

[hmorrow]

Would a mini suite be included in the enclave?

Not on my Regal sailing on Dec. 9.  Also, for a 4 day pass to the Enclave, it was $79 before the cruise and I think is was $119 once on board.

Yes. They're porting today in Grand Turk..

Nope.  FWIW - on Royal class ships, Enclave is not included as a suite perk, unlike the Thermal Suite on Grand Class or older ships..  this is a full suite only perk.   However, there's reports that Princess is comping the Enclave for suite guests - haven't experienced it myself as yet, but we'll see next time we're aboard Regal.. 

Thermal Suite/Enclave is not a mini-suite perk on any ship.  (Mini-suite is such a misleading name!! ).

 

Safe travels all..

@framer  Yikes!!!  Really -- laptops not supported???  They can't be serious!!!

 

Also, a question for when you walk around:  Where is the quarantine area?  It would be one side of a cabin deck, either very aft or very forward.  The fire doors would be closed in the passageway to prevent casual access. Thanks!

Not see that anywhere.  I only wear a mask entering dining rooms, stores, elevators, embarkation, disembarkation  and service desks.  Just walking around common area, hallways and outside areas it is what you want and I have not been ask to put on my mask.

@marne-c,  I have to ask whether there is some confusion with nomenclature, here.  

 

MedallionNet is the shipboard wi-fii network.  It is hardware agnostic--i.e., a SmartPhone or a tablet or a PC can log onto it.  The only software that is required is a browser--e.g., Chrome, Edge, Safari.  Windows based laptops come with Edge pre-loaded.  Many users load alternative browsers such as Chrome and Firefox.  Apple products come with Safari.

 

The MedallionClass app is software that can be loaded onto a SmartPhone or tablet and provides the shipboard functionality about which Princess has been bragging for the last several months--e.g., ordering cocktails from the pool area, making dinner reservations, checking ship's activities, reviewing the evening's dining room menu.

 

There is no software equivalent to the MedallionClass app for a PC.  So, those onboard functions cannot be accomplished on a laptop PC.  However, a laptop PC will work just fine for general web surfing subject to the normal performance constraints that can occur when using satellite communication technology.  Similarly, if a passenger wants to, for example, log on to his/her employer's server to keep up with e-mails, a laptop PC will work equally fine,

I understand that but 23 months ago they had a web page thaat you could use with a PC that was excellent that is now gone.  Not having a tablet I'm left with a 4" screen to navigate layers of confusing menus.  They said I could access services on my room TV but that was a fib as it just tells me to use a smart phone to get the info I need.  Sorry Princess but you get a BIG FAIL.

 

2nd issue laptop says connect to Medallionet internet without issue; however, our Apple phones need to be reset every morning with a logoff.com command then a medallionetclass.com to log back on to access the internet.  Several other people I've talked to have mentioned this issue.  I just love hearing the wife complain that she can't connect to the internet.

We love Regal Princess, especially its incredible buffet (I am a glutton). The MDR food has always been excellent pre-covid.

I hope all cabins have the new beds now, because the only thing we hated about Regal was the beds. Old, hard as a rock and lumpy as hell. I couldn't sleep a wink and was in major pain all week every time we sailed on her.

I know for a fact the bed in C636 balcony cabin has the new bed a few weeks ago. Very comfortable! And the food in the MDR and the buffet was the best we have had on any of our many Princess cruises. This was the first time on the Regal, so I can't comment on whether the buffet is or not as massive as before, but it was good.

We sail in January. Finally!! Third Princess cruise. First two on the Crown. 
 

—What will we love that’s  different from the Crown?

—On the Crown they had pop up restaurants like Crab Shack. Do they have those on Regal and if so which restaurants?

— We are in an Aft Suite. I understand that we have a Concierge lounge we can use. What is that like?  Free drinks?  Other things we should know?

— Finally, I purchased the Enclave but I am hearing maybe it is free for those in suites?  Anyone know for sure?  Thanx!

 

Regal has Crab Shack pop up

We just returned from a 4 way B2B Caribbean cruise on the Regal (November and December) and there was no Crab Shack pop up on those 4 cruises. But each cruise was only 5 nights. Possibly on the longer cruises??

[voljeep]

are all 3 main dining rooms currently ( 12/20 ) being used by passengers ?

 

or is one crew only or completely closed ?
