The Regal Princess is such a beautiful ship, even better than her sister the Royal Princess which we sailed on in July, 2013. We had such a great experience on the Royal that we couldn't wait to sail on the Regal!
We had a deluxe obstructed balcony on Deck 8 (Emerald) that was located near the forward stairs/elevators. What a perfect location, as we could utilize the stairs to get up and down to the Piazza, and the forward elevators were never an issue. Our cabin was lovely and kept spotless. One of our favorite aspects of this ship is the flat screen TV's with on-demand video library. We watched four excellent movies that were recent releases.
Food options on this ship are numerous and for us, perfect. We ate light breakfasts in the International Café, and lunch either in wonderful Alfredo's or the Horizon Court which is expanded on this ship and the Royal with numerous tasty options. We ate only three dinners in the MDR(anytime dining) as we loved Alfredo's or the buffet for quieter, faster meals.
Excellent location on Deck 8 near the forward staircase. Obstruction not too bad. Very stable and quiet location.
