Thanks CruzerDeb, for the great report and pictures.

 

Did you by chance take a picture of any drinks price lists? Did you notice anyone drinking Peroni beer?

No, I’m sorry I didn’t take any pictures of the drink menus, nor notice what anyone else was drinking.

Thanks so much for the report and beautiful photos.  We will be doing the Athens ---> Barcelona journey in October on the same ship.  This report really helps set the mood. 

I’m sure your trip will be amazing!!

Your photos are stunning.  Thanks for sharing them AND your report!  Looking forward to being on the Regal in November from Rome to Fort Lauderdale.  And being in Rome for a few nights at the Albergo del Senato!  We do love Rome.

Flight to JFK was smooth and uneventful, just the way I like it!

 

 

Nice shot! I grew up on that little finger of land - Rockaway Beach. Have to say the jet roaring overhead weren't great - especially the old SSTs! But living in a small town on the ocean, so close to the city, was wonderful. During Hurricane Sandy, the bay and ocean became one. Fortunately I had already left!

Peroni was available last month when we were aboard. My first time trying it and I was quite impressed with it.

I drank Peroni (bottled) earlier this month.

On the Sky June4-11 Norwegian Fjords, I received $35 refund for 3 days of WiFi.  I had purchased WiFi ($44 Elite price) not the Plus package.

This can be a bit confusing for members without currency explanations.  I am deducing you book your cruises in CAD.  The internet package cost for your 7-night voyage, with 50% discount, is $35 USD.  That would work out to about $44 using the current exchange rate in force of 1.25% - which has been in effect for some time. 

 

On board, the currency is USD, along with stateroom account.  You got a $35 USD refund to account which is a full refund of the package, even though 3 days affected.  Not bad and I have read similar reports.

 

Correct?

Our cruise was fantastic,  and we have no complaints.  We did some great trips,  but used private companies  - half the price of Princess tours,  and only 6 people,  not 46 !

The only way to do it!!!

I paid $44 CDN for WiFi.  Refunded $35US on the ship for WIFI.  Internet manger said it was for 3 days of not being able to use the WiFi on a 7 day cruise.  I was glad I went to see him, he said he had applied the refund to my account at the beginning of the cruise.  I showed him it had not appeared on my account so he reapplied . I would not had known about the refund if I had not visited him for the third time.

Thanks @CruzerDeb for the report! Good stuff and lovely pictures! I'm sorry that you had a family emergency that kept you from visiting Istanbul. It is one of my favorite cities. You should make a point of seeing it some day, if you can.  Happy travels!

Thank you! I’m certainly going to try to repeat this itinerary with my husband!
