Review of the Regal Princess, Cabins M411 and M415,Venice to Barcelona June 2014

To celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary, my wife and I (53 and 57) took our 3 sons (24, 25 and 28) on this cruise. We are well traveled and have cruised previously on Regents, Celebrity, Holland America, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, Carnival, and now Princess.

We don’t cruise any more on Carnival or Norwegian, and this will probably be our last cruise on Princess. To me, Princess is more like Carnival than Celebrity. It is just my opinion. We had a great time on this cruise, but to me Princess just did not meet up to the standards set by Celebrity and Holland America.

Cabin Review

RoomsWe had rooms M411 and M415. We originally had rooms M409 and M411 (both with bigger balconies), but the Princess rep told us we should change to M411 and M415 because the M409 and M411 balconies did not connect. THEY WERE WRONG. Both rooms connected the same way, through a door that opens up between the balconies. Just mis-information by Princess.The rooms were mini-suites, and were set up nicely. Our room had a queen bed (2 singles hooked together), a nice sized bathroom with a shower/tub combo, and one sink. There was also a couch, a desk and two 40” flat screen TV’s (one in front of the bed and one in front of the couch). Room M415 was set up the same way, but the couch was made into a single bed.BalconiesThe balconies were some of the smallest we have ever had, especially in a mini-suite. There was only enough room for 2 chairs and a small table, and we had the BIGGER balconies!These are the dreaded peek a boo rooms (called that because people walking on the sea-walk can see on to your balcony. At first I thought this was an issue, but it really wasn’t. Not too many people gawked at us on our balcony. We have pre-dinner drinks out on the balcony every night. The one ‘problem’ with the balconies is that the Large screen TV on Deck 16 poolside is loud. We bring along a Bluetooth speaker so we can listen to music on our balcony (we don’t turn it up too loud) but couldn’t use it much when the TV at the pool was on.
