You can order ahead on the app or website . A little over $200. Onboard I think you can purchase a day pass for $89 I would suggest waiting to tour it if you are not familiar. I love it but find it second place to The Enclave on Princess.

Just got off the Regal yesterday, the 19th of Feb. Paul Chandler Burns is headed to the Sky, Matt will be the Entertainment Director and Allie the CD.

thanks!

Thank you! That is a win for me, too

Does anyone have experience with the cabins on the Sun deck that are across from the Retreat Pool area? I am familiar with most areas of this class of ship and would like to book one for a Transatlantic but I am concerned about noise or other negative issues. I appreciate any advice. Thanks.

When I was in Mykonos last May the Regal docked and bus and water ferry were available to downtown. If you don’t take a tour, you have a choice of taking a bus or a water shuttle to town. I took the bus to town and was dropped in a parking lot with a bit of a walk into town. If you decide to walk it, it is not a straight shot and very uneven surfaces to navigate. (I am 73 and healthy but careful with long walking distances and heat) Coming back, I opted for the water shuttle that left from dock in town and dropped off very near the ship. Hands down the winner! Especially for older folks counting their steps when on tours. Factor in the higher temperatures when you consider which to choose. I do not remember the cost of either but either was inexpensive. I found no significant delays with either. It’s very close. 5-10 minutes travel. I don’t remember if they take credit cards. I would take cash. I am sure one could find the water taxi rates online.

When I stayed in London after a Princess cruise, I bought a Princess transfer to the Victoria bus station and took a cab to The Rembrandt. Reasonably priced, nice breakfast and near Harrods. The Victoria and Albert Museum was across the street. I don’t remember the nearest metro, sorry. But the hop on bus had a stop at museum. Very quiet neighborhood but a trek to the Thames and landmarks there. the bus station can be quite hectic and is large, so depending on your age and luggage, it can be difficult but doable. It seems all the transfer buses arrive at once and it can take a bit to sort out. Good luck!

can you tell us who the cruise director is on the ship?

there is no single supplement. I booked as a solo. You can add another later, if you wish.

Sorry, Thrace, forgot room number….. Emerald Deck, from E118 forward. Should be same on Discovery. 👍

I have sailed on the Sly Princess twice with an enlarged balcony in the front of the ship. At one time it was the same price but I am not sure if there is a surcharge now. i think Princess got wise and increased the fare. These pics are from Dec 2019 pre Covid but shouldn’t have changed much. For us, the balcony was perfect.

Lovely balcony and sail away. I will be following along. quick question, if you have a min: Can I order lattes in AQ room service menu? I haven’t been able to see the “enhanced” room service menu. I am sailing Sept 17th and trying to determine which non alcoholic package to pre purchase. Thanks! Enjoy your cruise.

i chose two dates from the email and they emailed a booking confirmation back to me. I never actually called to get the booking. they emailed me the confirmation a couple of days later. if you are wanting to take advantage, I would recommend that approach. Then you can call them later to “tweak” the booking. (That’s is you can get them to answer) hope that helps!

Can you share the SXM location? We will be there in Dec and my Blanton’s is getting dangerously low. Thanks!

my concierge offer on pool deck with cabin next to gents bathroom was not free but $247 plus port fees. not sure why the charge and why the lousy location when there are plenty of empty cabins. will call Monday and inquire. Deposit is not due until a few days before sailing. Very strange. this ship has nor been refurbed or “revolutionized” so I am sure CC is trying to fill it up and cut its fixed costs.

The Thermal Spa on the Edge is very nice. The area has a walkthrough shower with different shower heads and temps as you exit the dressing rooms. There are separate rooms: Hammam, Salt, Sauna, Steam. Each have different temperatures and have postings outside the room. The Hammam has water jets and I was provided with sugar scrub to use. The thermal beds are in front of the ship, are heated and lookout over the very front of the ship to the ocean. They are great for resting, reading, etc. If you are of a “certain age”, they provide great relief to muscles and bones after a day intensive tours . My only disappoint with the area is the lack of pool/whirlpool in the immediate area. There is an adults only area just at the entrance of the spa that has each. I have booked it on both Edge cruises I have done. I’m never sorry that I did. I would save on specialty dining or other areas before I passed on the spa. Just MHO…….

I got the same offer of concierge level with drinks and Wi-Fi for the west coast and will probably use it for a bday cruise. I have ataken a concierge class offer for Sept. in the Caribbean but no drinks and Wi-Fi. Not sure why the difference. as I am new to BCC, can some one explain to me the payback of gambling $$$$. It is very confusing to me. (Have mostly sailed on Princess and the offers are terrible compared to Celebrity. I am Amythest level, just, and I think I will have free play based on my last cruise gamblings plus earn free play during an August casino cruise, too. Is the free play refundable or available to pay for purchases on board? Also, since earning period expires Dec 31: 2022 do I keep Amethyst level for 2023 or start at base again? Any clarification appreciated. 🎰🎰🎰🎰player.

The FLL port uses facial recognition, so it is a breeze to get thru customs. Taxi ride is 15 min best…….mention to the driver you have a tight schedule and tip him accordingly if he hustles. The airport is small and you should have no problem. I do this flight regularly on Delta to ATL and usually have time for a quick bite at the airport.

Happy birthday, Charla. You will love your 40s. Some of the best years. I am following along and enjoying your blog. And, I have a Xmas idea for my DD as she loves Below Deck. Thanks!

I am following along as we board the Infinity in Sept and have an AQ cabin. I have never stayed in that class cabin and would love to hear what is available for yoga. My traveling companion is a big enthusiast. have a great cruise!

Billy something……..Hargrove maybe" The skit made it to YouTube and it is hilarious.

Does anyone know if Canadian citizens need an eVisa for Turkish ports?

Thank you for taking the time to keep us updated on your cruise and the tours. I am enjoying following along, especially the comments on the quarantine area. Some of us cruising in a couple of weeks were wondering if Euros are available on the ship. I seem to remember that there was one ATM that would dispense € bu that was a few years ago pre Covid. also, do you know if the crew prefers US$ or Euros as tips? I usually tip in $ but exchange rates for cash are the worst! stay safe and have fun!
