LIVE From the “80s Theme” Regal - 1/11/23 - 4 Day Princess Cays

[CanadianBurger]

This is the first time I’ve seen a “normal” hair dryer on a Princess ship. I guess if they break, they get replaced with this. It’s still non-detachable.

Just announced that because of the FAA meltdown grounding all flights this morning, our sailing is delayed until 6:30. 

Hopefully everyone made it onboard. That was one heck of a mess. 

Great thread. Thanks for sharing.

we did the 80's  5 day cruise 12/2021 on Regal lots fun and great shows!

I remember you from the roll call!  We were on the same cruise!  Indeed it was lots of fun for (most) everyone.

Played a bunch of blackjack last night, and I’m pleased to report I’m up a whopping $20!

 

The table was getting a little annoyed with the one guy continually doing things like hitting on 16 against the dealer’s 5, drawing the 10 that would have busted the dealer.

Today’s Horizon Court breakfast. If you like crispy bacon, just ask. They keep it in the oven.

Congrats on the win!  I wouldn't blame you if you wanted to lock in your profit.  Those are some nice chips.

 

As for the not-fully-clued-in player, it's a hazard of playing the game, I've found.  Sometimes stuff like this annoys me too, though mostly I tune it out.  In the long run, what the other players do have no effect on my winnings.

Not mentioned on this cruise, but click on the Live in my signature for the Patters from December to check a longer cruise. 

Thanks…..it was listed on the longer cruise.   Guess I’ll bring my paddle and give it a go.

enjoy the rest of the cruise and good luck at blackjack.

Regardless of deck, the midship cabins 407-429 all have larger balconies because of the jut-out under the Skywalk and SeaView.

If that happened continually I would leave the table. It can throw an entire shoe off

I believe they are building an Omni Hotel and convention center. Someone can correct me if I am wrong.

You aren't wrong!  It will be a 29 story hotel and a second convention center building.  Completion estimated to be sometime 'in late 2025.'

Okay, thanks for your response. I purposefully avoided choosing a cabin under or near Skywalk. I assume you’ve walked it and noticed the easy view into nearby cabins.

We were on Dolphin 608. Tiny, tiny balcony but we made do.

Yes. If you book port side, it can’t be looked into. 

[JoRoy218]

True! Good choice!

CanadianBurger,

It is great to see that you are on board.   Enjoy your cruise,

Some great live music poolside. It doesn’t get more quintessentially 80s than this. 

 

 

[CanadianBurger]

The live music finished up just as my Sanctuary time was coming up. Truly a little slice of heaven. Quiet, serene, and relaxing. And, of course, afternoon tea!

 

 

 

 

 

[CanadianBurger]

Can’t beat a sunset at sea…

 

The weather today was absolutely perfect. 

 

[CanadianBurger]

MDR Dinner tonight. The beef tenderloin was perfect. Melt in your mouth. And yes, I like

some lasagna with my cheese 😂

Everything was excellent.

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

 

This is not how I remember the 80's. Not at all. This looks more like someone who wasn't there trying far too hard and having absolutely no clue about the time period in question. Of course, this might be the 80's in Japan... 🤪

[CanadianBurger]

Can’t forget dessert! One of my favourites on Princess.

Agree. This outfit looks more 90’s to me… If it was 80’s she would have had the high side leotard with no skirt but with leg warmers 🤣 Or the outfit would have had a tulle skirt - but the whole outfit would have been black a la Madonna… 😬

[CanadianBurger]

The 80s movie trivia was ridiculously difficult and obscure. That said, there were still two teams that got 16. 
 

Alex from the cruise director staff got into the spirit for Majority Rules, but the game itself wasn’t overly interesting. 
 

[CanadianBurger]

I really enjoyed The Pat Benatar Experience. The Princess theatre was rockin!

Tomorrow: Princess Cays

@AliceS They must have heard you! There’s Pickleball.
