10-17 Dec 2017
We decided to take a relaxing cruise before the hectic
and fun days of Christmas. Our ship was
the Regal Princess out of Fort Lauderdale for seven days of Caribbean sun and
ocean views. This ship is one of the
first to implement the Medallion Class which provides some connected services
thru your personal electronic device, in our case a phone. A great deal of
information about the ship and events is available to you all the times. You also can use WhatsApp and Facebook for
free, a real bonus for Anneke. The ship is in great condition. We had a great view from the balcony of our
deck 15 aft stateroom. We spent quite some
time there just watching the ocean.
There is plenty to do onboard, whatever your preferences.
We had a cooking demonstration from the head chef and a tour of the kitchen
where all the food is prepared for the main dining rooms.
There is no question what the main focus onboard is:
Watching the sunset from you own balcony is still one
of our favorite things to do.
Very nice. Ruth and I will go on a cruise... some day!
ReplyDeleteThat is more like a small city isn't it? It certainly has lots of amenities. I'm terrified of water and boats, so I will never be able to take a cruise.
ReplyDeleteWhat a grand idea, taking a break before the Christmas rush! Seeing the Princess photos makes me realize we are due for a cruise! Love to watch the sunrise and sunset from the ship.
ReplyDeleteGotta love a nice cruise, we are soon do for another one. Glad you enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteOh it does looks beautiful. We have never been on a cruise. All our friends tell us we have to try it at least once. Maybe next fall. Glad y'all had a great time.
ReplyDeleteNice to take a break with a relaxing cruise. Before we retired, we always took a cruise between Thanksgiving and Christmas.
ReplyDeleteWe've done four cruises with another one booked for June 2018. I like these type of cruises much better than the CG cruises I sailed on, for some reason... :cD
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful Christmas time adventure.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful ship!! We have taken a cruise before but it's been several years!! Love all the wonderful dishes....those carvings were amazing!! Gorgeous sunsets!!
ReplyDeleteOkay, so I have to ask, where are all the people? Are you an early riser or are most people congregating in certain parts of the ship? I'm not a fan of crowds, I'm especially leery of the mass exodus from the boat onto the port so we've never taken a cruise. If there are tips to avoid the crowds, I am happy to hear them!
