I have been lurking for some time now and finally decided to register and post. You all seem so nice, some of those other cruise boards scare me!
My question is probably silly but I am curious as to how all inclusive works. Do we have to show our room card when ordering drinks? From what I am reading, it's 24 hour.....not just dinner time, right?
This will be our first time on Regent and we are really excited!

Welcome aboard, Ahoy! I can't say I blame you for being excited, Regent is sure my cruise line of choice, and has been for many years. All-inclusive is just that. You don't show your card for drinks, it is mainly your key to get you in and out of your cabin! If you wish to have a bottle of wine or spirits in your cabin as well, simply ask your roomo attendant when she first introduces herself.
What cruise are you on, what ship?

Hi jhp! Thanks for the welcome and the reply. I am glad to hear that the all inclusive alcohol is hassle free! We are on the Navigator Feb 6th sailing. I know....that seems so far away!

Welcome Kat! We love Regent and yes you can get any drink you want anytime no card needed - we get 2 bottles of after dinner liquor for our room - not as if you need it after all the vino with dinner but nice if you want night cap on balcony before bed - we love the cabins, crew, food, people, and know you will too!!!

Kat, welcome aboard. By the way, if you cruise with Joanna and Marcie, there won't be a drop of Sambuca left onboard; better get your own bottle, too. :D

Hey Kat and welcome to one of the most friendly cruise boards I've found. Many love the Dover sole, a special at Prime 7. I have found the soups to be delicious, especially the Cream of Mushroom. Also after many years of cruising Regent, I unfortunately found out that I love creme brulee. Bad news!!
Hope you love the Navigator as much as I do. She is my favorite as I love her small, intimate feel.
Hope you are keeping cool these days in Phoenix!

Welcome to LCT, Kat! You are going to LOVE this board. It's such a wealth of information and everyone is so friendly & helpful. The Navigator is a wonderful ship - I have no doubt you will love sailing her. I know, the only problem is waiting for the cruise! ;)

Hi Kat! Welcome to LCT. Glad to have you aboard. You will love your Regent Navigator cruise. Just be prepared......you will likely be totally spoiled. :) Be sure to give us a full report when your cruise is done.

Welcome, Kat! I'm late to this thread but wanted to say hello. Even though February is a long way off, the anticipation is part of the fun! Ask away if you have any more questions.

Whatever you can fit in timewise, you can do. I've done it before in Alaska with back to back excursions. As I remember, they ask that you have at least 45 minutes between one excursion ending, and the other beginning.
