Cruiseboy86 Posted October 21, 2019 #1 Share Posted October 21, 2019 DW and I are going on our 12th Princess cruise. We've taken part in many activities and enjoyed many things. My question is this. What do you regret NOT doing on a Princess cruise that you wish you had done? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vampiress Posted October 21, 2019 #2 Share Posted October 21, 2019 i've yet to attend a tea. i meant to, but we went extreme relaxation on this last 5 day cruise and missed most things as we did a lot of naps and sitting on the balcony. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare CynCyn Posted October 21, 2019 #3 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I regret not purchasing Stanley Nesting Dolls as a gift when they were in the gift shop. I went back to buy them and they had put them away! A friend got them for me on a later cruise, but taught me a lesson that while most stock stays the same, some changes! i also regret not going to Skywalkers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare bronzey214 Posted October 21, 2019 #5 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I regret not taking more videos along with photos. A photo is a great memory but a video helps take you back to the occasion. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voljeep Posted October 21, 2019 #6 Share Posted October 21, 2019 not really a 'regret' ... but locking ourselves into Vines pre-dinner, then mainly Crooners post-dinner ... need to try to see more of the ship venues and other activities ... maybe try an ultimate balcony dinner, or one of the chef's dinners, wine dinners ... but , those seem like so much food... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JF - retired RRT Posted October 21, 2019 #7 Share Posted October 21, 2019 On my list of "never done it", not really regrets, just haven't done it yet... 1) book a suite (score!! Just booked a WS for a B2B2B) 2) balcony dinner - will likely do this on our next cruise 3) afternoon tea in our cabin - same as #2 4) European/Norwegian/Australian cruises - someday 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chef's Table is definitely a LOT of food. The secret is to pace yourself and don't eat everything on your plate. When we did a CT, just the hors d'oeuvres that were served in the galley was enough food for a light dinner. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R**T Posted October 21, 2019 #9 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I would love to sing in the Princess Pop Choir. I can't sing though so it is probably best if I don't. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfields1814 Posted October 21, 2019 #11 Share Posted October 21, 2019 My regret has to do with the some of the ports Princess visits. We should have taken a land trip. A couple of hours in daylight just isn't enough. For me the big regret was Rio. One day there what was I thinking? A lot of these port I regret for my wife in that I had been there on lands trips but they were my wife's only visit. My wife is an artist so just a couple of hours in Florence broke my heart for her. She spent just a couple of daylight hours in Istanbul. It is now her favorite city. Too bad she could not have spent a longer time there, As for the ship itself we have been on over 30 cruises but never once been to MUTS, used the pool, or the sanctuary. Just not interested. Maybe we should try these activities one of these days. I also would like to try the chefs dinner or whatever they call it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paradiselivin1 Posted October 21, 2019 #16 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Being too cheap to buy a fantastic photo of DH and I taken on one of the formal nights! Wish I could have a do-over on that one as it was one of the best photos ever taken of the two of us! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billco Posted October 21, 2019 #17 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I have far more regrets about the things I did than about the things I didn't do. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getting older slowly Posted October 21, 2019 #18 Share Posted October 21, 2019 NO regrets, if one has missed something do it on the next cruise...... Happy to do our own thing....the only tour we have done was the ultimate ship tour on our first cruise ( it was great ) If one had a regret, it would be not going cruising earlier in our lives.....

Now that is definitely a worthy regret. Bruges is truly lovely.... worthy of a 2nd visit for sure. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't sing though so it is probably best if I don't. After 2 dozen + Princess sailings, I finally joined in on this and had such a blast. I can assure you, there are plenty of people that join the pop choir that cannot sing. Don't worry about it ... just do it! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
