Our first Med cruise was on the old Royal. It was a beautiful ship!

I posted it earlier in this thread. Here it is...

Sorry, we have not been to Sabatini's yet. We are attending the MTG luncheon tomorrow in Sabatini's, I'll see if I can find out. Below is tomorrows patter, both sides.

I was mistaken on our next Corsica date, it is Nov 20th. Sorry...

The Captain advised us tonight that our port of Corsica on Saturday (Nov 5th) is being canceled due to bad weather. We will instead be in Genoa as the replacement port. Personally, we prefer Genoa. I don't know how or if this will affect our scheduled stop in Corsica on Nov 7th???

Here is today's patter. The two bands onboard are very good, Project 5 and the Sunset Quartet. They have been alternating between the Piazza and the Vista Lounge. We have had two dinners in the Crown Grill so far. The food and service have been outstanding! We have a Sabatini's reservation for Nov 9th.

Another warm and sunny day today in Katakolon. It had to be close to 80 degrees. We shared the port today with the Island Princess. In the photo you can see the butcher job they did to the rear of the ship when they added the extra cabins. The highlight of our day was the liter of local rose and the fish platter that we shared. I think we will eat and drink our way to Ft Lauderdale! 😄

No problem using your own products, we always bring our own. We can't speak to the salon question?

A couple more from today in Mykonos. The windmills and "Little Venice."

It turned out to be a very nice day in Mykonos today, albeit a bit windy. We walked into town (about 20 mins), but took the 2 euro water bus back to the ship. We enjoyed a local beer and red wine with our huge falafel burgers.

I forgot to mention that the VPN on my tablet is off. Streaming does not work well when VPN is on.

My DW beats that number! 😄

I am not using a stick. I am using a HDMI/USB-C adapter cord from my tablet to the back of the TV.

Ocean Terrace has been very quiet on sea days. I do not think you need reservations or even if they take any? As to the white/gold party, we have not heard any mention of it. Overall, I think folks have been dressing fairly casual on this segment. As far as the internet, we have only had issues with streaming in the late afternoon. I'm sure this has been due to the high amount of passengers using the internet at that time. Btw, our laundry has been coming back in 48 hrs. We are in Mykonos this morning and it is very windy! I will try posting some photos later.

You should see my DW's closet at home. She could open a clothing boutique! And don't even get me started about her bags and shoes!

The view of Kusadasi from our starboard balcony. On the port side of the ship there was a Norwegian and Viking ship.

In the mid 90's we spent a month in Egypt, which included a 7 day cruise from Luxor to Aswan. That trip was one of our bucket list trips and still one of the best we have ever done.

Beautiful sunny day in Kusadasi today. The DW was in heaven as she was able to do what she loves to do, SHOP!

We always fly business class for international flights, they allow 2 bags each at 32 kilos each. We would never try to take a train or bus with our luggage. 😄

The below are bags for 4 adults for 8 day land trip and then 37 days on the Regal. The DW wants what she wants! 😄

Some Deck 5 Halloween decorations.

I just walked thru Retreat pool area to meet you but I realized I don't know what you look like. 🙂 There were only 3 couples there...

Beautiful sunny day today in Athens. Having been here many times, we opted for our happy place, The Sanctuary.

Another JP flop!

Mr G is the main bartender in Vines. We usually sit at the bar. The other servers are all very friendly and efficient. Mr G is very nice and wine knowledgeable. Also very funny.
