LOL!!  My wife and I just open the fire door and stroll back to our cabin and drop our stuff.  As long as you are polite and keep moving no one will bother you.  We had an aft cabin so quite a long walk.  Cabin steward came out and cautioned us on leaving valuables, but we just had some garment bags and a carry on with replaceable stuff in it.

A word of caution....one time DH dropped off our carry on briefcase in cabin when first boarded and went to lunch.  When we came back it was gone.  The cabin stewart thought it belonged to prior cruise and had sent to customs!  It was quite an ordeal to get back and had important personal items like all our medicines in it.  Thankfully, they did find it and return it to our cabin!

Dear G,  Thank you, you are very kind. It was fun. Had nothing better to do since we no longer sightsee. The ship is our destination. If you enjoyed this thread, please check out my thread on our June 2 NCL Haven H6 aft penthouse review a couple weeks ago, Observations from the Breakaway Haven. Also please stay tuned for my' Observations  from the MSC Yacht Club'.  We snagged the  Royal Suite #16037,coming up July 20 in a couple of weeks. I only hope my observations are as poignant. I plan on putting together a comparison of these three 'ship within a ship' venues that cruise out of South Florida. Thank you again for your kind words.  RC

Thanks for all the pictures and reviews.  I would be very interested in your comparison of all three.  We do some sight seeing but we can only travel during the fall (alas, work gets in the way) and we have been to most ports during those months, especially with Celebrity.  Thus we enjoy the ship more and have started booking suites since we aren't spending any money on excursions or in the ports.  We would be willing to try another cruise line but are hesitant as we have soooo enjoyed Celebrity.

Thanks again.

thanks for the update and pictures.  can't wait to see her in person in Dec 2019 for the first time!

thank you for your review.  we are going on regent this winter for the first time and are a bit anxious about trying a smaller (all-inclusive) ship.

So should we start the rumor now or wait until Navigator is out of drydock?   

 😁 

Thanks for all the information about your trip.  We are booked on the Navigator for our first cruise with Regent.  We have been on many cruises prior but never on something as small as this.  I am "worried" that we will be spoiled by this experience.  We are traveling with my parents (late 70's and mid 80's) and my brother and his wife.  My parents have traveled on Regent many times and have always really enjoyed it.  We are not going until December and are traveling in the South Pacific for 11 nights.  Wish we could do longer trips but alas, we still have to work.

Thanks again for sharing your experience.  Any advise or insight is greatly appreciated.

--Anxiously awaiting this trip from NE GA.

thanks for doing this.  enjoying your posts.  hope you have a wonderful time!

Thanks for the review! 

I dont have any idea how they choose. But we “moved up” from a sky suite to a royal for not much $$. We did book directly with celebrity originally. We only found out about our new suite 4 days before sailing. 

Thanks for the info about Gastrobar and all the pictures! Enjoy your last day! 

Cant wait to be on board.

what is the gastro pub and have you tried the food?  is there a menu online?  just curious....

thanks again.

thanks for doing this.  really enjoying your commentary and pictures.  also the daily is fun to read.

thanks for posting what you actually got with the "upgrade".

I totally agree with Kitcito and Cruise Raider...we love AQ cabins and perks and now have trouble not booking this class of cabins. I especially enjoy the heated tile loungers and the food (and service) in Blu. hope you have a wonderful cruise!!

thanks for the review. we almost booked this cruise and are now regretting it but at least we can experience parts of it thru this review.

thanks again....

I was able to order the discounted beverage package on Friday. The glitch appears to be fixed. I don't remember who I spoke to but used option 2 on the captain's club line. The rep sent a confirmation e-mail and reissued my e-docs to show the beverage package purchase.

Thanks for the info. Tried again tonite and per rep. Done. Shows on reservation but no email confirmation yet. Will try to reissue docs in morning.

Sorry you had issue too but glad to know not just us.

we have not been able to get the beverage package discount thru captain's club. they keep claiming there is a 'glitch in the coding'. has anyone been successful? and if so, can you please share who you spoke to.

thanks!!
