The only problem is now I have "As I Was Going To St Ives's" running through my head in a loop 🙃 I met a man with seven wives… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BamaVol Posted July 26 #1302 Share Posted July 26 I’m so pleased that this isn’t coming to an end. I have enjoyed every post. I wish you would receive a commission for every Princess cruise booked by your NCL followers. 3 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eggs will keep for about one week on your countertop but must never have been previously stored in a refrigerator. Once refrigerated, eggs must be kept refrigerated thereafter (or they’ll go bad fairly quickly.) 🐔 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to following along with you as you continue your adventures on the British Isles. Planned. I have not been to Ireland or Wales so booked the Regal for those ports. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare YVRteacher Posted July 26 Author #1306 Share Posted July 26 @TinyG This is the by far the best internet I have experienced on a cruise. We had a strong signal the entire trip. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perfectlife Posted July 26 #1307 Share Posted July 26 If you have nothing planned for today recommend hopping on #6 bus to Lymington. Even you just do a return trip without getting off you will get your fill of thatched cottages. Especially such a beautiful sunny day as this. Of course it depends what time you are sailing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare YVRteacher Posted July 26 Author #1310 Share Posted July 26 (edited) If I was restricted to one word to summarize the disembarkation from Island, shuttle to the Regal and embarkation for the Regal that word would be ‘seamless.’ They called Suites first followed by Platinum and Elite together then began with boarding group one. Security was a breeze although the underwire in my Wacoal bra set off the metal detector and they used the wand to scan me. I was mortified (but that doesn’t seem to stop me from writing about it!) We left Island Princess at 9:15am and I took this photo of my inside cabin on the Regal Princess at 10:46am when I dropped off my little suitcase. The only waits were for people to get on the shuttle bus and for suitcases to be self-unloaded from the shuttle bus. Here are some views of Southampton cruise ship car parks What is this silver dome?

Perfectlife Posted July 26 #1311 Share Posted July 26 The silver dome is a waste incinerator and generator. I live in those hills in the distance behind it. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mking8288 Posted July 26 #1312 Share Posted July 26 Wow, gooooood afternoon to you in Southampton onboard the Regal. Smart choice to do laundry. You managed to disembark from the Island to the Regal in 91 minutes flat, impressive move with this B2B transfer, job well done by Princess. That's "Stayin Alive" 😎 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be interesting to hear how you like the Regal compared to the smaller ship experience. We've been on the Regal a few times including on the British Isles cruise last year. Have fun! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmoopie17 Posted July 26 #1315 Share Posted July 26 I used to own a Buick Regal. That was many moons (and many cars) ago, but I don't recall it being very "regal". Here's hoping your Regal is "regal". indeed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare YVRteacher Posted July 26 Author #1320 Share Posted July 26 This is not at all a tour of the Regal, mostly because it is so huge I never know where I am. At one point today I could not find an elevator so I took the stairs then figured that earned a gelato. This ship has a gelato parlour! 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare YVRteacher Posted July 26 Author #1324 Share Posted July 26 So many people told me “you’ll love the piazza.” I do not love the piazza. If there is music, it is blasting and you hear it everywhere. I am not a lover of loud. The international cafe is open 24 hours and has food. Lots of food. May contain nuts. Like me! So this lounge was not designed for introverts. These chairs are more my style! They have people shields. 7 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
