Well, that is the modification I would want. No avocado.

Looks delicious! Did it seem possible to make any modification to the roll? It looks like there is avocado in it and I'm allergic.

Looks yummy! Looking forward to Ocean Terrace on the Regal in just over a week!

So the cruise has been awesome for you with the exception of wanting faster internet? So why did you title the thread Avoid Regal Princess? For a lot of people, internet isn't that big of a deal, especially when several people have chimed in on the ship they haven't had any issues using the internet.

Seems drastic when over half the ships don't even have it as an option.

reconsidering future cruise plans over a venue that isn't even offered on half the fleet?

On my previous cruises this year, it was the night of the Party in the Piazza which was the 2nd formal night or the Dress to Impress night on short cruises. On a different thread on this topic, one cruiser posted the itinerary from the 1st day Patter. It actually had the W&G night the night before the 2nd formal night. So it isn't always consistent.

I think Princess doesn't advertise it well. I never even noticed it on previous cruises but looked at the emails that came in about 2 weeks prior to them. There was just a small announcement of it. I completely missed it. It was mentioned in the Patter on a couple of my cruises but not all. Now that more people are hearing about it, maybe it will actually pick up? My friend and I plan to wear gold on our cruise in a couple of weeks.

I can post pics of E405 on the Regal in 2 weeks. Should be very similar.

The only gripe I have about this post is the title stating to avoid the Regal. So the OP is telling us what to do based on his/her/their wants/needs. It would have been better received if it was just a FYI post.

For the US, yes but in some locations like Australia it was actually only very recently discontinued.

I was on the Island last year and did not enjoy the ship. The only thing I liked about it was the large library.

I had a cabin with an adjoining door a few cruises ago. I was a little concerned about possibly hearing more noise but I heard nothing from the other cabin. I have been in non-adjoining cabins before where I can hear everything the person is watching though.

I've been on about 30 Princess cruises and on the Island previously but I don't find it similar to most of the ships in the fleet. Nor do I get lost on any of the other ships. Other passengers had similar experiences.

I'll be on the next cruise after you. I'm excited for the cruise, slow internet or not. No avoidance necessary.

I completely agree. I do not like the Island at all. I kept getting lost and it is one of the small ships. Such a weird layout. And really missed IC.

I added mine after I booked it and still got the discounted casino rate but it would definitely need to be done before boarding.

Completely agree. I was just being nostalgic.

I will always call it the Patter!

Another thing to think about is if you are on a Casino rate. I have a discounted rate and yesterday I changed my booking from Plus to Premier for a 7 day cruise. It should have been $140 more but because I am booking the Premier fare and not just an add on, the casino discount applies and I only paid $110 more.

I agree! I never want to cruise on the Island again.

There are also many positive posts about the Ruby. Please focus on those. I've been on the Ruby 4 times, 2 of which were this year. I love her and wouldn't hesitate to sail on her again any time! Enjoy your trip!

I did this cruise last year. The itinerary was slightly different but I really enjoyed it! Have a great time!

I've sent mine out with no issues.

I'm on the Regal in the Caribbean right after this one (leaving the 24th). The app is already showing the champagne waterfall for the first formal night. It is on the second sea day.
