    We sailed with Regal Princess in June 2024 on a similar 12 day itinerary to the British Isles. Our conclusions were much like your observations. We were ready to disembark at about day 7 to travel on our own. Since we did not take any ship excursions and arranged our own sightseeing; we always felt rushed to get back to the ship by 5 pm. The food was mediocre and no dish was outstanding. The crew and level of service was outstanding and by far the Regal Princess' strongest asset. The ship and our cabin felt worn and in need of a refresh. Our reason for choosing Princess was to travel with elderly family members for whom this pace of travel was ideal. We loved our pre and post cruise side travels to London and Amsterdam. PS Go Cincinnati!

All we did was a walking tour of Kirkwall. Saw the Viking inspired cathedral and a town history museum. We also witnessed a Scottish bachelor party. The groom was covered in molasses and corn flakes. His friends shrink wrapped him to a centuries old grave stone in front of the cathedral while next to him a Palestine protest was happening. That was one of the best local experiences we saw on the whole trip. The weather was cold, wet and windy that day. Wished I had packed a knit cap.

    Where was the cabin you stayed in near the finger lakes.?

      It was on Canandaigua Lake. I was a great little house. I don't remember the name of it, but there is a link in the description of the video. I hope that helps. If you are still having trouble locating it, let me know. I will try and find it somewhere is our records. Thanks for watching. ❤️

    These people must be Americans, loud, brash and inconsiderate. Serves you right for complaining, looks good on you. Say hello to Trump for me, on that matter don't.

    Sorry that you had two ports cancelled. For anyone considering going on a cruise do be advised that port cancellations/changes are frequently necessary due to weather or other issues, so you need to be prepared for that to happen. Sounding the fog horn, in the fog, is also a standard safety practice.

      Thank you for that great information. Missing out on the Orkney Islands was a bummer. When you are looking forward to it so much and then find out that they cancelled the port more than they dock, it hurts. I wish they wouldn't put it on the itinerary, or at least let you know the odds of docking there are very slim. We understood the safety of the crew and passengers was their most important objective. The fog horn was a fun experience. I really liked walking around in complete fog. Something we will never forget. Thanks for watching. ❤️

    I cruise Princess all the time and all you have to do is ask your cabin steward for more hangers.

      Thank you so much for that information, it's good to know. Unfortunately, we didn't see our cabin steward for the first 3 days 😂. We were starting to think he had magical powers and appear only when we are gone. Thanks for watching. ❤️

    Even Princess can't control Mother Nature or those striking French (which can happen a lot unfortunately). Hope the rest of your cruise was better.

      I completely agree with you. These were at the end, so the beginning of the cruise was amazing. 😁. It was a great cruise, just hated missing out on Orkney Islands, especially when we found out that they cancel the port more times then they dock. Then just take it off the itinerary, is my opinion. Thanks for watching. ❤️

    For anyone who has sailed in an Aft cabin on Princess, how is the noise? Is there a lot of vibration?

    • @MileswithMcConkey
      @MileswithMcConkey หลายเดือนก่อน

      We have cruised twice with Princess in an aft cabin. It is very quiet and there is no vibrations. It is our favorite way to cruise. ❤️ Let me know if you have any other questions.

    It's unpredictable. On our 23 day Transatlantic cruise from Miami to Venice, Italy we were mentally prepared for inclement weather and multiple missed ports. We actually had 23 days of perfect weather. However we docked in Nassau instead of the private island port in the Bahamas (no big deal). We made all of the other 14 ports as scheduled. But on a 10 day cruise from Barcelona to Southampton, UK we missed 2 ports in Portugal due to strikes, and we missed 1 port in England due to weather. You just never know.

      @@MileswithMcConkey You'll find most Transatlantic cruises in the Spring or Fall. You can expect calmer seas and better weather in March/April. I wouldn't do a Transatlantic in October/November. Some itineraries only visit a few ports, while others will visit several. Either way, it's a much lower cost per day.

    You can see puffins in the US out of Maine or Iceland. Cruises and weather and unpredictable and on a cruise you only get that one day at port if you do go into the port so no waiting for better weather if you were on a vacation on land for a longer period of time.

    • @MileswithMcConkey
      @MileswithMcConkey หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you for that information. We usually only do land trips, but since this was our first time across the pond we just wanted to get the taste of 6 countries in 12 says. Not being on the land for several days to explore was KILLING my husband. I probably won't be able to get him on another cruise 😂. We have been to Maine and struck out there too. I was really hoping the Orkney Islands excursion to see them was the answer. Lesson learned. Thanks for the great advice and for watching. ❤️

      @@MileswithMcConkey I totally get your disappointment. We just had a terrible weather in Alaska and our only nice day at port that excursion was canceled due to inclement weather. Such a gamble for so much money. Your best bet for Puffins is Iceland I guess. they have them in the north and south plus it's beautiful.

    First thank you for this video. I was on the 27th of May sailing. They cancelled Le Havre for us to. Our alternate was Belgium which was really nice. Now in regards to the shore excursion lecture with 'Ken." First of all......right!!! This was not good. I was thinking to myself during that lecture that first they need someone else more vibrant. His lecture is just tired and old. I actually pulled him aside and asked how to get a job as a shore excursion director. I think someone needs to make the tough decsion to kind a send him on to retirement. For such an important cruise you would think Princess would realize this. Anyways dont worry about Paris. You need more than just a day. Fly there for a few days...go to Normandy for 2 days and then go to the Loire Valley. Worth the land travel vs 14 hours of travel stress from the port.

      I feel so much better now that someone knows what we went through. You must have been on the cruise right behind us. We were getting off and you were getting on. The fact that you got Belgium, WOW!!!! My husband is so jealous. Ken is a nice guy, but couldn't agree with you more. Everything he showed and talked about was so outdated. I was hoping to get a least something small out of it and got nothing! There were SO MANY people that fell asleep during the presentation. We joked about watching him in the room at night to put us to sleep and it worked. We were out within minutes 😂. I would love to have that job, talk for 1 minute and play music for 3. Thank you for making me feel better and for watching. ❤️

      @@MileswithMcConkey Of course these videos are so helpful to everyone going on British Isles cruises. I hope you get a chance to go to Paris. Of course way after the olympics. I can recommend a tour guide that we used for Normandy. He had a B and B that was actually a battalion aid station during D Day and a soldier who died there is buried at the American Cemetery. I believe his company is called normandybattletours. You can of course travel to Versailles and the Louire Valley for day tours. Nice chatting with you. Todd
