pathi Posted November 9, 2016 #1 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Anyone that has been on the Regal recently. What time were the rooms available? Are they still not opening up until 1:30 or so? I know this is not the norm for other Princess ships. Dress for the Chef's Table, Will slacks and a dark guyabera shirt by acceptable for Chefs Table? I know folks usually dress up a little for this. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I have never had to wait to go to my cabin on embarkation day on any Princess ship including the Regal and Royal. I have done the Chef's Table twice. On both nights the dress code was smart casual. The event required everyone to don a chef's coat while touring the galley which would be a problem for some in formal attire. Just pay attention to the Princess Patter daily schedule and dress in accordance with the dress code listed there for the day you attend the Chef's Table.

jennybenny Posted November 9, 2016 #3 Share Posted November 9, 2016 For Chef's table, no open toed shoes allowed. I wore tennis with my dress and white coat in the galley and took them off when we got out. :) Not very fashionable, but I had not properly planned for it.

Thanks Just got off the Regal, We boarded at noon and out cabin was still in the process of being cleaned. We dropped of our carry ons, but I think this flustered the cabin steward and we never got a thorough cleaning. Although we sat by the Chefs Table, all the dinners must have been during the late seating, so can't respond to that question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karena1 Posted November 9, 2016 #5 Share Posted November 9, 2016 We are on Regal in 3 weeks, and I plan to drop our carry on off in the cabin as soon as we board, so hopefully not an issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easyboy Posted November 9, 2016 #6 Share Posted November 9, 2016 We were on the Regal on Oct 1 and embarkation was delayed at past 12noon. Our cabin on Marina deck was not available till 1pm, later than the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoRoy218 Posted November 10, 2016 #7 Share Posted November 10, 2016 We were on Regal last month; boarding started around noon, we made it on about 1245, our cabin on Caribe deck was ready to go! Dropped off bags and headed to lunch. 😁 Wonderful cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welikepalms Posted November 10, 2016 #9 Share Posted November 10, 2016 When we sailed in September we boarded around 2:30 in Brooklyn. We did not sail until 5. Rooms ready when we boarded. Did not eat at the Chef's table nor see it for that matter. Have fun and Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antsp Posted November 10, 2016 #10 Share Posted November 10, 2016 When we sailed on the Regal the passenger corridors where closed off, so no access to your cabin regardless until 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gladysgoing Posted November 11, 2016 #11 Share Posted November 11, 2016 When we sailed on the Regal the passenger corridors where closed off, so no access to your cabin regardless until 1 That's not typical if Princess. Was there something in particular that might have delayed access to cabins! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twice we've had to wait to board the Regal until 1:00 Never on any other Princess ships though Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Vacation Nut Posted November 11, 2016 #13 Share Posted November 11, 2016 That was true for us to last Xmas on Regal. We boarded just before 1:00 as the traffic getting to the port was horrendous as there were about 9 ships docked. The corridor doors to cabins opened just after we got to the Aloha deck. We are doing the Xmas cruise on Regal again this year, but this time it is 11 days and not 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcrow72 Posted November 11, 2016 #14 Share Posted November 11, 2016 That's not typical if Princess. Was there something in particular that might have delayed access to cabins! It has happened that you cannot get to your cabin until 1 pm on both the Royal and 2 Regal cruises. Think there are more rooms and not enough staff. Staff physically block you from going to cabins.

chubbypiggy Posted August 7, 2017 #16 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I was on Royal Princess this April, and I saw the middle stairs are now open to the public. Anyone who has recently been on Regal can let me know if the middle stairs are also available for passengers to use? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't our experience when we cruised the Regal. We were on before noon and our cabins were ready. We dropped our carryons and away we went to eat.

easyboy Posted August 8, 2017 #20 Share Posted August 8, 2017 We embarked in Copenhagen. Had to wait till 1 to get to the rooms. We embarked in Brooklyn last October.

I know this is not the norm for other Princess ships We will be embarking on the Regal in Brooklyn the last of September. I'm wondering if anyone has recent experience with what time we can go to our staterooms. Each time we have sailed Regal or Royal we have waited until at least 1 p.m. before we could go to our stateroom. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each time we have sailed Regal or Royal we have waited until at least 1 p.m. before we could go to our stateroom. Thanks We have found exactly that on the Regal with corridors blocked off until 1 or 1:30. The first time it happened, I thought there had been a problem. But it happened again. I guess that is the norm, as it is on many other lines. All other Princess ships are ready as soon as you board. The only positive is that your luggage may be waiting for you when your room is finally ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reedprincess Posted August 29, 2017 #25 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Can you describe exactly where these stairs are located... How many floors do they reach? If you're meaning the mid-ship stair case they start in deck five and go all the way up to Lido deck.. They're next to the mid-ship elevators.
