Aw,,,,We can TOTALLY sympathize with you. We had our "dream" cruise planned for last November and lo and behold, the grandbaby that was never supposed to be, made his presence known. He is/was our very first after a long fought struggle...first birthday is coming this November! Needless to say, cruise went out the window! Stay tuned and we'll be most pleased to report our adventures on the Grandeur!

We recently had an email from Regent expounding on the new entertainment offerings that will be coming with the Grandeur. If they can deliver half of what they highlight, it'll be a breath of fresh air. We're fortunate enough to have a Grandeur cruise coming in Feb. Excited to hear about something new and different. We'll see if it pays off !

Absolutely! Most Americans can't swallow a grilled cheese without that tomato soup!!! I actually like to dip mine, but that's me....giggle!

Oh, but you are all missing the most important part with those grilled cheeses.... A bowl of really good tomato soup!! When I was still teaching, that was one of the only lunches that I could count on from the cafeteria!

OOO! What is that last one? Looks wonderful! I enjoy champagne based drinks as well! mmmm!

Backing up a tad.... John and I were fortunate enough (just dumb luck) to experience a mass and the flying botafumerio (sp?) at the cathedral. It was truely an out of body experience. Some of the charm was that, although we were not seated together (lucky to just get in), was that we sat together with "pilgrims' of all social status, folks in heel and suits and assorted clergy. Truly a cross section of humanity. Made the experience all the sweeter! Ranks right up there with fav excursions... Truffle hunting with dogs in Tuscany and flying our own falcons in Scotland... We're blessed!

Thousand Journeys in the Chart Room Dover sole served table side Cheese cart (in Princess Grill) if they're still doing that! Fish and chips in the pub as well as tika masala (sp?) Any beer in there as well. Drafts are great as are the selection of British brews!

We're onboard now, having boarded in Copenhagen and are leaving tomorrow. I have a garden variety cold....Other than the last couple of days our weather had been abysmal. Rain, cold, SERIOUS wind and some sort of odd stuff that fell out of the sky in Glasgow...mist? fog? dew? .Actually my husband spotted a few stray flakes early one morning. I KNOW I, along with probably a lot of other people who got a cold, probably got one there. Wind was blowing the dog off the chain! Anyway, I'm not blaming Regent, the nice waiter, passengers, anyone for how I got the damn thing! Yes, there may be a couple of covid casualties, out there and the usual number with the GI thing or a respitory bug, but my guess is the common cold. Of course NOBODY gets just that anymore. I guess it has to be something more exotic.....just me sayin'...(giggle!)

Aw phooey! We've very glad for her, but we hoping she might be onboard the Grandeur..... We wish her well in her new position.

But what a way to go! (giggle!)

Same here.....nothing on our account, but TA confirmed our air is in order. See you onboard, Pappy! We're almost there!

Ut oh… sounds like a problem some where along the line. “Stuff happens” No matter… Hope all will be well when you see her again!

I’m thrilled! I’m a bona fide over packer and the laundry has helped so much. I need to take myself in hand and get a grip Haha! Not sure I can do with out the trailing piles of baggage but will so welcome it!!!!

It oh … stuff happens but that’s too much stuff. Sorry to hear that.

While I'm sure Canadian currency is nice for them, they will readily accept US. The amount depends on all the variables like were they excellent? How long was the excursion, did they make your tour special in any way? That's too hard to put a price on, but you'll figure it out. We also give something to the driver, who is just as important as the guide!

After included drinks, the laundry service is the BEST PERK EVER!!!!

Me too! Hoping someone might know where she is!

She is a much loved sommelier but I have not heard a word about her of late. Does anyone know if she's still with Regent? Maybe headed to the Grandeur?

Geez, not very impressive. Is that custom air, per year? Per cruise? sigh ….

We’ll make platinum on our upcoming cruise. Anything special gonna happen? or just another glass of champagne?

As a so called “ old bi**ch, (giggle!), I totally agree with your music critique. I’d LOVE to hear more updated music any where on the ships! Most especially on the pool decks! Maybe a little Bob Marley? Coldplay? Adele?Dare I say Taylor?(omg! did I actually say that? Giggle!) You catch my drift? If the future if Regent is looking to the future, they could think about that… They don’t need to throw the Rat Pack or Elvis overboard, but maybe something a little more contemporary? Hey! I’m not dead yet! Haha!!!!

With chocolates, tomorrow’s program and often reminders of time changes. Lower lights, and that comfy bed…..we call it “the cloud “!!! Mmmmmm!

Mmmmmm!

We've stayed in the concierge level before and I don't think dry cleaning is included, however the laundry service is wonderful. Couldn't ask for better! Everything comes back pressed on a hanger, or folded and wrapped like a present in tissue paper!

We've flown Icelandair several times, from Newark to Iceland and don't mind it one bit. Yes, the seats don't turn into beds, but hey, we fall asleep all the time watching TV in our recliners at home (giggle!) I think their food is second to none....always interesting and very tasty. Adult beverages in every category are plentiful and quality. We will be flying with them in September for the Splendor "round Great Britian number... We were originally given an insane flight schedule on Air Canada which we said no to (Newark to Toronto, Toronto to Paris, Paris to Copenhagen....geez!!! I don't think so) I knew we could get Icelandair out of Newark, so I asked for them.... Long story short, we like Icelandair very much and are happy to flying with them.
