That's too bad. I would love to meet your monkey! @TxTeach79 will be on the Thanksgiving one. I don't know if he has a monkey I could meet but he does have some cool shirts..

Yes

We are doing that same cruise on Thanksgiving week. What week are you going?

My homeport is Galveston and I think I have been to just about everywhere possible from there. I wish that there were longer cruises from Galveston so I could explore more places without having to fly. I cruise mainly for destinations, not ships. I despise flying. I keep telling my husband that we should move to Florida so we could drive to all their cruise ports. Maybe some day.

Glad you're finally home Greg. Loved your review.

WooHoo! Can't wait

Good Luck Greg - I hope there are no more surprises before you make it home.

Sorry about missing your flight Greg. My son had a problem flying from Alberta through Toronto to get to NY a few months ago. By the time his plane landed in Toronto around 8:00 PM Customs was closed. He was told too bad - he missed his flight but somehow got Air Canada to pay for a hotel room for the night. He was able to get the first flight out the next morning but he was really pissed. He said never again on Air Canada or through Toronto.

Wow Greg - those bear pictures are fabulous.

Happy Cruise Day Megan! I can't wait til the Tribe cruise to be on this ship!!!

Safe travels Megan. So excited to see the Celebration!

Hey Megan - I'm here and excited to follow along. Can't wait for the Tribe cruise to check out Celebration in person!

That is my ultimate goal. Too bad my son that lives in Connecticut isn't thrilled with my goal.

Thanks - that makes me feel better

Thanks for the responses. He doesn't need a wheelchair for long periods at all. It's just sometimes going up the gangway presents a problem. He uses a cane and when he gets tired of walking he usually just stops and rests for a few minutes. I just wanted to make sure if he needed wheelchair help after standing in a long line to get up or down the gangway it would be available.

Thank you!

I just got an email from Princess that our Thanksgiving cruise on the Regal Princess from Galveston has a port change. Instead of Costa Maya on Thanksgiving Day (my birthday) we are now going to Belize. I'm so disappointed because I have never been to Costa Maya and was really looking forward to it. Also, Belize is a tender port and my husband has mobility issues and has trouble with tenders. Not to mention that I have been to Belize twice and it's my least favorite port. The port area, in my opinion, is a waste of time. We have also been on an excursion to the ruins and that was OK but I have no interest in doing that again. I'm really annoyed that Princess made sure to announce this port change AFTER the paid in full date. I have only sailed with Princess once about 15 years ago. I'm really regretting booking this cruise. I should have just stuck with Carnival. Also, I noticed that Princess does not supply wheelchairs except in an emergency. You have to bring your own. My husband just uses a cane but recently on both Carnival and Azamara when the crew noticed that he was having a little trouble walking they immediately brought over a wheelchair for him to go up the gangway after a port stop. Am I to assume this does not happen on Princess?

Hey Greg - I'm here and looking forward to your review

I just buy T shirts on a cruise ship. I wish people would not buy jewelry on the ship or in the port. Stay away from Diamonds International and the other jewelry stores in the port. It's just not worth it.

Thanks for a very enjoyable review. You got me through a few seriously boring afternoons at work. Safe trip home. Looking forward to Thanksgivinig Regal Princess!

Thanks - I'll see what I can do to make that happen.

I have not yet had the pleasure of HMC. It looks beautiful - enjoy!

I love Key West - have a great time!

I was seriously panicking about your luggage. i guess I need to get out more.

@TxTeach79Have a fabulous cruise! I have to wait for November for my next cruise so I will enjoy yours through the magic of the internet.
