I was the one who stopped you by the pool.We also had a mini suite for the 7 day cruise but enjoyed D731 much more for the 15 day crossing.We are going back on Regal for a 5 night cruise on 10/26 followed by a 10 nighter on 10/31 and then 7 nights on Allure of the Seas on 11/10.

I'm sure this has been asked many times but do you book with airline direct or use Ez air and more importantly why?

Thanks in advance. 

Just returned home from Europe after a cruise on Regal and the price of the one way flight was $350 using EZ air and the price on the AA website was over $3000.Thats why I use EZ air!

Maybe I missed it but what deck were you on?

I could be wrong but I thought the Caribbean P's initials were CB, while CP refers to the Coral Princess.

CP is Sea Princess.I think Coral is CO.

We're on the CP in July!  If you are able to post menu pictures that would be fantastic and so much appreciated.  Have a blast!

FYI,The Princess designator for Caribbean is CB.CP is the Sea Princess

Go to the cruise roll calls and look up your ship and sailing date.

The room steward immediately washed the balcony down and scrubbed it,but the stains were ground into the surface.Great location and larger balconys on Dolphin deck.We have also sailed in E729 on Royal but the soot was not as bad.It could be that it was a corner cabin with more wind to blow the soot off.Both of those cruises were east bound transatlantics where the stern cabin are the best with the afternoon sun.

This was our balcony last month in D731.It was only like this a few days but the balcony was permanently stained by the soot.

Just disembarked last Monday and they were the same slabs of cement as always!

Have purchased many rings from Effy on Princess and never had a problem. They are all beautiful and wear them daily.

Did you feel like you needed a shower after dealing with their scummy sales staff?

The offer you received was an upsell offer not an upgrade.

Curious  as  to the  choice of  food  in the buffet, quality etc..

In my previous 56 cruises,on six cruise lines,I have never seen a better buffet than on the Royal and Regal except maybe Oceania.

Thanks for the picture.I assumed that you were on the stern as you said you had a Premium Deluxe cabin.A236 is a regular Deluxe.I was hoping to see a stern cabin with its larger balcony.We will be boarding this Sunday staying in A324 which is just up the hall from you.Stop by If you have some time.

I assume that your premium deluxe balcony is on the stern.Can you take a picture of the balcony and say what deck you are on?We have D731 on 4/14.Thanks!

I had to actively have the mediallion sent which is on the ocean ready app.  I also had to confirm which address (cabin mate has a different address) I wanted it sent to. When i completed that I received an email that said "Thank you for your Ocean Medallion order" with a confirmation number.  Did you order your medallions?  I saw that you had to order the medallion at least 12 days in advance.  There was also an option to have it picked up at the port.

I did all of the above and verified with Princess 3 times that I did it correctly and was told that I did.I think they are still trying to work out the issues.

We took a back to back to back series of 3 cruises totaling 28 days on the Caribbean Princess with  3 booking numbers. Our medallion came in the mail and was good for the entire 28 days.  We were in the same cabin the entire time.

Two different CSR's at Princess told me that we would get a new medallion for the second cruise.I really don't much care how they do it.

Now it is saying that they will be available at the port as they didn’t have time to deliver or my address could not be delivered to.As I said,I completed all of this in December.It really doesn’t matter as long as I know what the plan is.As we are on for 22 days,they combined the cruise on the Ocen ready making it look like one cruise even though we have 2 different booking #’s and cabins.We shall see in a week.

I downloaded and completed the Ocean Ready app months ago and have called Princess 3 times regarding the delivery of our medallions,and they just said that it is on its way with no way to check the status.We leave Friday for the 4/7 and 4/14 cruises on Regal and have received nothing.

Here you go johnmik1-

We received our medallions last week. Pretty cool looking. Can't wait to see how they work out. 

But here are the two important questions you probably have...

Ignazio D'Agostino, your maître d

Cruise Director, Corey Moir

Thanks for the info!Was there any info on the Captain,Hotel General Manager and Entertainment Director?I called Princess last year about no longer receiving the precruise emails and they told me that my travel agent had requested that they be discontinued.She said that she never did that and called Princess and asked that the emails be reinstated which they never did.

I'm boarding the Regal on April 7th and I have received a few emails regarding the ship, dining and just Saturday one about the entertainment and cruise director. Also information about all the apps available since it's a Medallion cruise. 

Can you share that with us who don't get that info?Thanks!

I have not seen Princess do that in years.

Sorry for mixup.  It is actually called ocean compass and it is part of medallion net;  you won't be able to use or download until you are onboard

I downloaded Ocean Compass a few weeks ago while at my home in Chicago.

In Jan., my BFF & her DH had a "premium balcony" on the Regal.  Difference: a small sofa (2-seat). 

 

They really liked it enough to book a mini-suite for their next cruise (Island) to ensure getting a sofa. 

 

Enjoy!

Deluxe balconies have small sofas and Premium balconies are Deluxe balconies in a premium location.

The beds on HAL are one of the only things they do better than Princess!

OBC from from your TA will not show up on your cruise personalizer, and may not show up on your account the first few days when you board. Not to worry. Enjoy your cruise! 

I have two cruises booked on Regal next month and both have onboard credits listed as Travel Agent GRP Promotion.We get OBC from her every cruise and it always shows up in the payments and credits section on the personalizer.
