Colo Cruiser Posted August 17, 2014 #51 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Four days until we leave for Europe! Everything is booked and paid for, money exchanged, tickets printed & collected, the only left to do is relax (as much as I can in anticipation)! See you all aboard! Bon Voyage!

scfc60 Posted August 17, 2014 #52 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Have a great trip to all of you on the cruise.We did it in July and it is a truly amazing itinery and wonderful ship. It is up there with our best all time holidays :D. We are also sailing on the 30th August, and now really excited. I was wondering if you could tell me, if they have an A la carte breakfast option on board the Regal. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downsmead Posted August 17, 2014 #53 Share Posted August 17, 2014 The breakfast options on the Regal were: MDR - probably the closest to 'A La Carte' Horizon Buffet Room Service Sabatini's (if you are Elite!) (International Cafe) Where we ate depended on what time we were getting off the ship at the various ports. Due to a number of early starts, we often had room service. The MDR is good if you are not in hurry. Horizon buffet opens a lot earlier than the MDR and continues serving breakfast later than the MDR.

skrodle Posted August 18, 2014 #54 Share Posted August 18, 2014 What was this tour called? Just looked at the 8 that are available for our cruise and I don't see a jeep tour. it was 5 years ago... they may no longer contract through princess any more... but I think this is tour operator we used... it was so amazing.. one of those memories that i tell everyone about when I talk about that cruise http://dpauls.com/sightseeing/international/sid=1012 hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scfc60 Posted August 18, 2014 #56 Share Posted August 18, 2014 many thanks downsmead and caribill for your response's. We will also probably use room service for our trip days, but sometimes nice to have a more leisurely breakfast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downsmead Posted August 18, 2014 #57 Share Posted August 18, 2014 (edited) Thanks Caribill, not having cruised in a full suite I was unaware of this :o. We never actually made it to the MDR for breakfast either on our Med cruise, the 7-9am never seemed to suit us, though we have enjoyed breakfast in the MDR on previous cruises. It is best suited when you have time to sit and enjoy it. Edited August 18, 2014 by downsmead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
friend of Eeyore Posted August 18, 2014 #58 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Have a great cruise! I can't give many suggestions for your ports, but when we did the (old) Royal in the Med, we used the Rick Steve's books over and over (as someone else has said). If you haven't picked these up (or got them from the library), I definitely recommend it. You might want to double your amounts in the ports - even drinks and pizza cost us about 30E in Rome, I think. Plus, don't forget tipping the tour guides. Check out the port areas here on CC, too - I got some invaluable advice for a Rome tour (can't remember the link, or I'd tell you). In Istanbul, make sure to hit the spice market - even if just for some cinnamon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azdmelani Posted August 19, 2014 #60 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I wonder from which deck/location we leave for our daily excursions? Usually it is Deck 4, but you're right it could change this cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribill Posted August 20, 2014 #61 Share Posted August 20, 2014 I wonder from which deck/location we leave for our daily excursions? It will vary by port and change with the tide. It will be deck 4, 5, or 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussie@Sea Posted August 20, 2014 Author #64 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Will I need to bring the card I DONT want to use anymore? We've had pins put on all our cards in Australia and mine is playing games so I'd prefer to not even bring it. Thanks Colo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Colo You should not need the old one however if you are having issues bring the old one just in case as a back up. Your welcome. ;) Edited August 21, 2014 by Colo Cruiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribill Posted August 21, 2014 #66 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Not at embarkation on the pier.......Yes go to the passenger services desk and they will. You can change it when checking in at the pier. You are asked if you want to still use the pre-registered cruise card. If you say "no," they will ask for the one you want to use. Of course you can also change it once on board, but is is easier to do it at check in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
