We just returned from a Hawaii cruise on the Regal Princess. We don't
usually go to the dining room for lunch but one day, while in port, we
noticed something special on the lunch menu and decided to go to the dining
room. I was surprised that it was open, but I don't know what I based that
on.
We were very pleased. We got there when it opened and when we left, only
about 20 or 25 passengers had eaten there. We thought that it was very nice
that they opened it for so few people.
