Having sailed the Royal Princess which was the first in the new design which is also on the Regal Princess, I just had to sail the Regal. We are seniors who have done some 50 previous cruises. My jaw dropped when I first saw the design on the Royal. I knew at that time I had to experience it again, but better on a newer ship like the Regal.
