Love this ship! The layout is excellent! I was on the Royal in 2013 for a Mediterranean cruise with cousins. Loved it so much, I wanted my husband to experience it. We completed a 20 day, back to back, a week ago. He loved everything about it so much, he didn't want to go home. I just booked a 14 day on the Regal for Nov. We are both spoiled now. No more of the other style ships for us!
The food and entertainment were excellent. Loved the new style Horizon Court and Alfredo's! Ate at these two venues more than the dining rooms. Speaking of which, the dining rooms are much more attractive than on the older style ships. They have many more tables for two. The waitstaff was very fast, friendly and efficient. The production shows were Vegas quality! Love the new style showroom. The other entertainers were all top notch.
Heard many complain about no center stairs. We did miss them. We were in a center mini-suite, but found it easy to walk to the front or back stairs. The 6 center elevators weren't too bad for availability, but if they were filled, we walked to the stairs.
Our cabin was large and roomy, with a full size sofa and 2 wall-mounted TV's. Love the on-demand tv shows. So much easier to watch a movie. We couldn't fill all the drawer space. The desk is very large. The closet and cabinet were roomy.
The bathroom was adequate with a full-size bathtub. Would've liked 2 sinks, but not worth the price of a full suite to get them!
We had a roomy extended balcony. Booked early to get this size.
