Get ready for the package price increase coming soon,

My question is why did the amount go up $1.50  for for balcony and below and only $1.00 for suites?

Can anyone on the Royal say hi to Ron Goodman for me and tell him Ron Banks wishes him well and would like for him to contact me.

thanks

We got ours this morning at CVS. Less than five minutes for both of us to get the test and had the results back Within an hour. Rapid antigen test

Maybe you should go on princess they start their dinners at 4:30! To me that's a late lunch!😄

CDC conditional sail Order extension is in effect until Jan 15, 2022

Where did you find that price. Cheapest on the RC website is $397

Hi Bob,

Are they offering any kind of wine package? Any info about it would be appreciated.

Also, looking for the email address of the Hotel GM. 

We are on the 15 day Hawaii cruise on the 24th.

Thanks

Who is the Hotel General Manager?

In you opinion, which is the best side of the ship to be on for the 15 day Hawaii cruise from LA. Both while at sea and view from the balcony when in port? We are currently on the Starboard side.

Thanks for the help

Port Side!!

Is it possible to bring wine that was purchased at port in the Mediterranean onboard the ship?

Just curious as to how does time zone change work on the ship?

on the Royal last year on the crossing, they changed the clocks at noon. SO much better!!!

Played on the Royal Princess Transatlantic last year. It started with just a few of us and then there were so many people after a few days they started blocking off time and putting it in the Patter. All equipment was provided. only 1 court.

Have a great trip Harry and Joyce! Your friends here in Naples will be

reading all your reviews! Say hello to Ron Goodman the CD for us.

On our upcoming cruise on the Regal there are only two sea days and two early port days so the Winemaker's dinner may only be offered a few times. For those of you who have successfully signed up for the Winemaker's Dinner, how did you do it? Call the DINE line? Something else? Astro Flyer, are you there?

We have done the winemakers dinner 3 times. Call the dine line ASAP and sign up. They used to let you pick what menu/wine pairing you wanted as long as the whole table agreed but now depending on what night you get is the menu for the night.

Stock down over $2 a share

Hello from the Royal,

 

First, some info for "louden": the restaurant is called La Nuova Torretta at Piazza A. Saffi, 22. They were handing out maps at the exit from the port and you should be able to find it OK. It's about an 8 or 9 block walk from the port.

 

Mykonos was great. It's been 34 years since our last visit there and not surprisingly it's changed quite a bit. Many more deluxe shops and fewer mom and pop type places. Still very nice though. We had a gyro and wine for lunch and enjoyed petting all the local kittys!

 

We attended the Chef's Table Lumiere but I must say it was a disappointment. We did the Chef's Table on the Emerald T/A in the spring and it was much better. First we did the galley (hand washing of course but no white coats). We stood in a small alcove and were given champagne. Before we could enjoy more than a sip we were handed a plate with 4 appetizers with no explanation of what they were. There wasn't a convenient place to set our champagne while we ate. there was NO second pour. On the Emerald, we stood around a galley table and as each appetizer was served we were told about it and given time to savor it. Champagne was continually refilled and following that we toured the galley. There was no galley tour on the Royal. From there to the dining room where we were seated at the Lumiere table. It was quite nice and more amenable to table conversation. The food , while good, was not up to the standard on the Emerald. Wine accompanied each course but once again, no refills and the amount given was meager. I must say we were expecting more from the Royal. If you have done the Chef's table on other ships then our advice is to find another way to spend you hard-earned money.

 

We really enjoyed Istanbul; much cleaner and safer than we had imagined. We took a ship's tour and it was great.

 

As you've heard, we were unable to stop at Kusadasi but we enjoyed the pub lunch and a nice leisurely day at sea. More later. Trying to conserve those internet minutes!

 

PS: a shoutout to others on this cruise. Does anyone know what happened at the trivia in Club 6 after the meet and greet??? DW got a call that evening asking if she would be willing to complete a "Witness Statement" regarding the incident. She was dumbfounded as neither of us were there. When she told them that the reply was "sorry" but nothing else.
