TxTeach79's LIVE Regal return to Princess Solo Thanksgiving - 11/19/23

With all that hydration, you’re gonna need a pit stop😳

[allinwonderland]

Excited for another live review from you! Glad to see some more people who do these live reviews branching out to try Princess - my family wants to do an Alaska cruise in 2025 and they've got the best itinerary so far for what we all want to do, but I heard some pretty bad things about their food and service on CC from right when cruising restarted. Seems to me like things have righted themselves now and I'd be more than happy to sail them, especially to Alaska.

(I'm totally not jealous that you're cruising now and I have to wait till April now because I was booked on one of the Panorama sailings that just got canceled... Nope, not jealous at all....)

Quick gas stop at 7-11 was fruitful. We’re hydrating….

 

You might regret that later...

More than one!

In my experience once you tap the keg...

Awe, making that run down I-45, you know Buc-ee's is THE place and these are "it." I'm a fan of the original, but there is variety for everyone.😏

oh, I dig Buc-ee’s, but I have to be in a “Buc-ee’s  weekend crowd” mood

Looks like construction ahead. At a standstill in Huntsville…. Right next to the state prison. Scenic views! 
 

Remember what the signs say in that area "Don't pick up hitchhikers."

Made it! No mini golf in sight, but no obvious fire damage either. 
 

 

[TxTeach79]

Took about five minutes for someone to appear, and it was the same cranky old man from July

 

[TxTeach79]

Does the trick for $120, a week of parking, and just me. Tons of power options too.

Maybe the colored lights give him a headache🙄

Top floor, with oh so scenic vistas

Now to rest up a bit, and to switch from radio to streaming and catch up

Was I dreaming or were you originally going to stay at Inn at the Waterpark?

 

I also might have missed the part where you said you were or were not going to use the luggage tags this time.  That was legit entertaining stuff the last time.   

[TxTeach79]

This was a wild moment of confused panic until it fixed itself

yes, I was! I ended up changing plans midweek because the LaQuinta where I stayed this summer (and lets you leave your car) had a price drop and was cheaper. Plus I know I like it. 
 

oh, you betcha my AirTag is locked in. Ever since Barcelona I’ll never travel without one on a trip that requires me to give up my luggage for even a second

Well I hope it’s a lot less stressful with the luggage this time.   I’ve always been curious about that Inn with their low prices.

The architecture here is breathtaking. Just sayin.
