Thanks for taking us along. Comedy should be your side hustle, if it isn’t already.

We have gotten the shareholder benefit on all of our cruises regardless of our existing offer (on board, earlybird, etc.)

Thanks for taking us along, Flossie! What an amazing cultural adventure. Have a wonderful cruise and say hi to David from Bill and I.

We were in Penthouse 743 on Grandeur in January and very rarely heard our neighbors. No more than usual.

This url worked for me. Thanks for posting. https://brochures.rssc.com/view/498991887/3/

On last year’s Grand Asia, we got an invitation once on board for a nice lunch with a Geisha presentation and a sake tasting at an historic property. We cancelled that day’s excursion because this was so much better. Plus our cruise returned to Kobe a couple of weeks later.

Woo hoo!

Love that they are changing up the menu and offering new items. BUT the fact that the Mushroom soup is no longer on the menu makes me sad. My favorite!

Asking for an extra chair is a great idea. I never thought of that.

This is good advice. Along with a change in the activity level, sometimes they have assigned you a different time than the one for which you signed up. Always check your tickets against your own copy of excursions.

I understand that enrichment speaker Brian Unger and his wife Wendy are joining you for this leg of the WC. He's very entertaining as well as informative. The best speaker I've ever had at sea. Don't miss a lecture and if you do, be sure to watch over the in-house TV. Enjoy!

On the Grand Asia Exploration last year, Explorer docked at Laem Chabang overnight Feb 25-26. We weren't planning to take the 2-hour bus ride into Bangkok but changed our minds at the last minute. And are so glad we did. The Grand Palace was magnificent. Figured we may never get back that way again, so we are happy we went -- exhausted, but happy. Since you'll be in Bangkok early, you may be able to do this in advance without the LONG bus ride. We have friends who did the Sanctuary of Truth and really enjoyed it. We also did the Pattay Floating Market. Not sure I'd recommend it. It's a "created market" for tourists. Bill called it "Disney-fied". 😂 But it had some interesting shops and food stalls. Jealous of your trip this Spring. We LOVED our Asia trip. Fingers crossed you'll see cherry blossoms.

I have had similar experiences (not much activity) on several Regent CC Roll Calls. I suspect it may be because excursions are included. The Roll Calls for other cruise lines we've sailed are filled with folks trying to share excursion prices and excursion information. Just a guess.

We spent 28 days on Grandeur last month and I wholeheartedly agree with your post. Particularly about the excellent Tenderloin Rossini and Ignite the Night. The best I have ever seen on any ship. Thank you and @kjbaconfor your commentary. I've enjoyed traveling with you and can't wait to board Grandeur once again in August for a transatlantice from Barcelona to NYC.

And I love seeing drink servers Dinara and Margarita in your photo. Two of our favorites!
