Thanks for the information that is good to know and a pleasant surprise.

One of my favorite things is the deck bbq!

Post the review or running commentary on Crystal.  We should have enough regulars onboard.

But please post a link on the Regent board too so that we remember to go read it.

My guess is that there is a on-deck special dinner those nights.

Good thought DeepFreeze! Usually on deck bbq on nights when you are in port late or overnight.

If you are all booked on the same shore excursion, you can ensure being on the same bus/ group by handing in all the excursion tickets at once when exchanging for the bus ticket.

As far as actually booking the same shore excursion online for someone else, that is a good question.

@mikemoore do you know?

When we sailed out of Copenhagen on Navigator this summer, we ended up having a concierge cabin due to one of the 2 level upgrades in the past couple years. We flew in an extra day early using a deviation and chose where we wanted to stay that night. When it came to the included hotel the night before the cruise, our TA asked if we could take a credit for it so we didn't need to change hotels. Surprisingly, Regent said yes, and gave us so much credit that it paid for both of our nights at the Admiral. Guess it doesn't hurt to ask!

MJ is correct. I fly from Tucson, a non-gateway city. The fee is $250 rt. I then also pay for deviation to fly in early. Then Regent schedules me and I have to opportunity to accept the flights or have them come up with different ones. Always check my bag in Tucson and pick it up again at my destination. Well worth not driving to Phoenix for me.

Thanks for this thread. I was looking for it to comment on another thread where I though Jen might be of help.

Good but served plated rather than from the trolley.

Has anyone seen the trolley since Covid?

Maybe a day by the pool ……………… not a hardship 

They make excellent margaritas at the pool bar too!

We are off to enjoy Salsa & Salsa this morning

Really enjoyed that excursion!

Since the last two "Meet and Greets" we have done this summer have been unofficial, I created a sign to put out at the meeting area. I always invite FB RSSC Social Club contributors and CC Roll Call/ contributors, so both symbols are on the sign. Feel free to use it if you want.

P.S. @mrlevin I thought Cedric was going to Explorer after leaving Navigator in Amsterdam? Things must have switched around.

Yes, just ask your Room Steward for Kahlua and Vodka. You can probably ask them to bring milk each evening too if you want. We like Baileys on the rocks, so our steward brought us ice at turn down.

 I have been on 4 Alaskan cruises and this was by far the closest and clearest.

That looked incredible!

I always tell friends if they want to do an Alaskan cruise, I will go with them. I love the scenery! Different each time, and always fun things to do in the ports. So far, 3 have them have taken me up on it! All on Regent!

I was getting exhausted due to being a very light sleeper.

Have you tried using earplugs? After you get used to them (a night or two) they can be a game changer. I always bring plenty for myself and whoever my roommate is, because (ahem) I've been told by my children that I snore.

So if you only get one internet login, then the two of you will have to take turns.

Best perk of becoming "Gold" in April for me!

 It was a movie that Ray made when the crew were stuck on the ship inMarch 2020 due to covid.

Is this available anywhere for the rest of us to see?

We were able to do this in Spain in May. Disembarked in Barcelona then flew home two weeks later from Lisbon. We had paid a flight deviation in order to stay longer, so don't know if a deviation fee would be charged.

Take note that Fitness Class schedule is only listed in the little separate box on a different page than the main schedule of the day. So if you are trying to find a class, make sure to look for that separate entry.

Since we were scheduled two days in Edinburgh, I did both Stirling Castle and Edinburgh Castle. Both were great excursions. If I could only choose one, I would choose Edinburgh which also allows you to see some of the other sites in the city.

We ended up with another day in Edinburgh due to weather. Since we were docked in Leith, we spent that day touring the Royal Yacht, which was right next to the ship. Great choice, and would have been doable along with another excursion that day. The Royal Yacht is self guided and can be done in about 2 hours.

Last night, onboard Splendor, Captain Luciano performed his first wedding renewal ceremony for two couples.

They posted pictures on Facebook RSSC Social Club. Really looked beautiful!

Did you use your phone for the test or did you bring a computer?

I used my phone in July. No problem. Just set it up so that they could see the test.

Do you remember the suite number or what deck and location that it was on? We’ll be on the Splendor in a couple of months and I’m a light sleeper.

 It was deck 9. Only one area on deck 9 seems to have this vibration problem. Check Suite Guru sticky at the top of this board to see my review.

Yes. Show your "long haul" boarding pass (either after long haul or before). As mentioned above, may not apply to Carribbean.
