Thanks for sharing this.  We had about half that number on our cruise on the Regal a bit over a year ago.

yeah, we were on the REGAL in late January 2022 - may have been more crew than passengers...

[CanadianBurger]

Looks like the retreat pool is having some work done. Wonder how long it will be closed.

Headed to Mermaid’s Tail, and saw Neal, who was in Crooners on the Crown in 2019.  This is a Blue Hawaiian. Highly recommended!

Headed down to the International Cafe for a coffee, and sat in the Piazza listening to the band. 
 

 

Some people are getting into the 80s vibe…

The food offerings from International Cafe this afternoon.

Ship walkabout time. Nothing new, but thought people would appreciate pics. 
 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyone know what they’re building next to Terminal 2?

 

I believe they are building an Omni Hotel and convention center. Someone can correct me if I am wrong. Thanks for the pics. We were on her in 2015 and can't wait to return in April.  Still one of my all time favorites ships.  Enjoy.

[CanadianBurger]

Huh. Returned to my cabin and two more bottles magically appeared. 
 

 

[CanadianBurger]

Looks like there won’t actually be a sailaway party. Because of the three-hour delay, it’s already dark and MUTS is playing.

Hands down the BEST chocolate mousse ever at the International Cafe. Worth cruising just to get one of those!

[CanadianBurger]

The Regal was the only cruise ship at Port Everglades today, but when we return on Sunday it will be crazy busy!

 

 

[CanadianBurger]

And we’re off!

 

[Island wannabe]

Yay!   A live from the Regal.   We board on the 22nd, first cruise since Jan 2020 so super, super excited !

Made my way aft to Outriggers for a margarita from Darshan, who I last saw on the Star in 2019. 
 

 

Wow! Glad to see that Darshan is still with Princess. Sailed 28 days with him in Wheelhouse in 2017. He was paired with another bartender named Chris and they worked extremely well as a team. Back then they still had the BOGO hour and it would get crazy busy. It was like watching a dance with those two never getting in each other's way. I actually sent a note to Princess commending them for their excellent service.

[CanadianBurger]

There are definitely some in the 80s spirit!

 

[CanadianBurger]

The air conditioning in the cabin sure works!

 

[CanadianBurger]

About to take in the comedy show of Carlos Oscar. Front row. We’ll see how it goes. 
 

[CanadianBurger]

I saw Carlos Oscar years ago, and I can report that he’s still manically over caffeinated. There were a few laughs, but overall, I’d say the show was meh.

The Cruise Director on this voyage, Allie Ambriano, getting into the 80s spirit. 
 

[CanadianBurger]

Patter for tomorrow.

@CanadianBurger:  Thank you for continuing to share!  It looks like today will be another day that's jam packed with 80s goodness (though a bit less so than yesterday).  The Knights of Rock lectures look especially interesting.  Not your classic stuffy old enrichment to be sure!

[JoRoy218]

Sounds like another perfect cruise. We’re just off the Regal, did the ABC cruise 12/26-1/3. Ship was bulging at the seams, so crowded.  Will never do Christmas week again. Should have done a b2b to recover. 🙄 This was our third trip on the Regal, not crazy at all about the minuscule balconies - yours looked a bit deeper, which deck are you on? Enjoy your trip! 

[Tyskie]

@CanadianBurger Loving your live - we did the 80's  5 day cruise 12/2021 on Regal lots fun and great shows!  Enjoy!

Good morning from the middle of the Bahamas as we cruise at a leisurely 13 knots. Looks like a great day.
