We have done 25 cruises, 15 on Princess. We have done some high end voyages and some low end voyages, and never regretted the trip. Some small glitches on a few ships, but nothing that lowered the overall cruise experience. The overall quality and value of our back to back Eastern and Western Caribbean trip on the Regal made it a "best ever" experience.
It started with an easy embarkation at Port Everglades on a day when ther were 7 or more fully loaded ships in port. We had booked this late, but had not realized that it was the height of spring break. This meant record capacity on the Regal, lots of kids, and lots of ships in every port. If there is no that might have tested the Regal staff, it would have been the crowds on this ship......but it seemed that this inspired great performance.
One thing that is obvious is the outstanding attitude of the staff. When we questioned staff, we got an earful about the Commodore. Giuseppe seemed to be more visible than any captain we can remember. Do not let his easy going style fool you. He demands excellence! It was so obvious.
