Around the Regal

[Boilerrx84]

Adding my comments from 3/8 Regal cruise.

 

Embarkation: AA moved our flight to 6AM. Arrived at MIA around 9AM and used Larry's Limo to the Port. Saw the Regal at 10:30 and was on by 11:45. With five of us traveling it was good for us.

 

Cabin/Steward: We were on Emerald mid-ship. Three in a Deluxe balcony and two in Regular balcony. Love the Deluxe with three, otherwise I'd be stuck in the upper! Gerry our steward was top notch while the steward for DD was just ok, she did forget to make their room on first sea day.

 

Food: We really enjoy the food on the Regal! Breakfast daily in the HC, lunch for DW was the HC, while I rotated between Burgers, Alfredo's, and Room Service. Really enjoyed the Club sandwich with the crust cut off delivered to the room. The Meat in the Chili was so so.

 

Dinner was in Concerto (left side from the Piazza) six nights and one in the Crown. Our secret with Anytime Dining was to hit Concerto right at 7:30. The wait was minimal. My least favorite meal served would be the Caribbean Prime Rib, just didn't work for me. The Crown Grill was free because of the promo when we booked the cruise. We chose Wednesday and noticed most tables were seated with Regal staff instead of passengers.

 

The wait staff was very good too! Hement was our favorite in the Concerto as we ate in his section twice. I didn't notice many of the dining staff that were on the Royal last year.

 

Norman Love: We had three different desserts. Two in MDR and one in the Crown. They were outstanding. The Chocolate Tart, Chocolate Raspberry Mousse, and Chocolate Hazelnut Bar.

 

Fellow passengers: Some of these cruisers take the cake. MDR attire on formal nights does not include blue jeans! The Lady mad because the fried chicken in the MDR didn't include legs. The waiter came back to the table with legs freshly prepared by the chef and they refused to eat them. We would not have known this except for her making a big scene about it. Come on people, if you only knew how silly you look. I tried to acknowledge staff and show them respect and they treated us like we were someone special.

 

I'll try to add on when I get a chance.

 

Enjoy the Regal!

I think we had the same cabin steward Gerry. We were in E323. The Gerry we had was wonderful. Did a great job and was a very nice person.

Thanks for the review... We can't wait to sail on Regal for the 3/29 cruise.

Thanks for your review.

Thanks for adding to my happy anticipation of my cruise, even though it's Royal instead of Regal.
