Yes it will be open X amount of minutes after sailing.

Use an agent, they can book a cabin for you.

I think the “British Vibe” is less now than it was 10 years ago: I mean there is no denying it’s a massive part of the branding, and the customer base is mostly Brits. But over recent years I think the offerings regarding food and entertainment are more similar to what you find on the American lines on European sailings. Drinks are reasonably priced, no grats or tax on top, no daily grats, reasonably priced wi-fi.

We had the upgraded download internet and were able to watch the live football on an app. Occasionally it buffered, but that was probably the dodgy app 😂

They are great ports to go to: La Coruna is one of my faves and very walkable. La Rochelle is beautiful, but it is a shuttle and we unfortunately had a really bad journey back with people queuing for hours due to a problem with the buses and a taxi strike. It was worth it though and a nice town and harbour with an aquarium. La Harve is a nice town, once you get there. You can also do trips to other places from there quite easily, not just Paris, but places a lot closer like Honfleurs. Bilbao is interesting but you need to travel to get there. we love these itineraries as they are quite port intensive, and we like a city/town day.

We found the Wi-Fi on Ventura was excellent 😊

This happened to us too: multiple emails not replied to, not even acknowledged. I was furious. Especially as it is such an important issue. Turns out I had sent them to the wrong email address… although I got no bounce back email to say it wasn’t delivered, so it was probably an old unused email address. When we emailed the correct address (which someone provided further up the post) we received a prompt and very thorough response within about 48 hours.

I must be in the gutter then because I don’t wipe the sink down after every face or hand wash… but then I can’t think I particularly make much of a mess. Maybe I’m not doing it right 😂

Hello! I just wondered how easy it is to amend pre-booked MDR times on the Regal? We were planning on booking an early-ish time for every day, but in reality occasionally we may need to dine later or cancel completely (if we get back from a trip later, choose a speciality/buffet tea, or if our son wants to go to kids club etc). Will this be a problem once on board? Do they do walk-ins? Or is it all booked? thank you 😊 (and sorry if this is a daft question: w have done plenty of cruises but none with Princess)

The entitlement to think that the YC service carries on to non-YC areas. But hey, if you wish to write an essay over one word you took offence too, go ahead, you are completely entitled* to do so 😊 *as in allowed, I’m not looking for another essay 😁

We spent most nights outside of the YC because the lounge was a bit too quiet for me. However, we did witness several other YC customers asking if they could go into the main ship and take a Butler with them to get them a table and fetch them drinks 😂 Apparently the effort of putting one’s arm in the air to catch the attention of a drinks waiter, or using one’s own eyes to locate one’s own table was too much for them 😂 [thankfully that level of entitlement was the minority and most YC were actually quite normal, had no silver spoons, and even - gasp - had jobs 😱]

Thank you both so much. That’s really reassuring to here. Especially the fact we don’t need to book slots 🙂 He never lasts long in there, but it’s nice to get an hour a day 😊

YC is amazing. The service, food, bar etc is incredible and nothing at all like the main MSC experience. The dining is perfect, just walk in and sit down whenever you are ready in our experience (on a full to capacity sailing). the only caveat is that the evening entertainment in the YC lounge is occasionally piano or singer: if you want shows or something lively you need to venture out in to the main part of the ship.

We have cruised before, but not with Princess. How is the kids club? Is it difficult to get slots? We have been with other companies where we had to set an alarm to book slots for the day, and if we were a few minutes over all the spaces were booked up. Also, how have people found the kids club have been for their autistic children? Our son has had mixed experiences, but generally he does like to go as long as he isn’t “forced” to participate in games etc. Thank you in advance 😊

We have used Parkside Meet and Greet (booked via Holiday Extras) and CPS: both take the keys and park the car off site. Both have worked very well and we have been very happy. We have also used a hotel and parked the car in their carpark (the Leonardo), and used a taxi-transfer (also through Holiday Extras) so no one has your keys. However I don’t really like this method as we have a wheelchair and refrigerator medication etc, and the added need for a taxi transfer adds another layer of disembarkation day stress.
