A year ago, we made friends with some fantastic people on a Caribbean Cruise. We decided to have a "reunion" on the Regal Princess to catch up. What a super time we had! For a ship that had almost 4000 passengers, it NEVER felt crowded (aside from embarkation).
Dining/Bars: The staff provided personalized attention, and that makes all the difference from other cruise experiences. The bar staff remembed our names and drink preferences. The menu options were quite varied and simply delicious in taste and presentation. It is not easy to serve a party of 10 well. Polina and Jovie did a superb job.
Excursions: We loved the excursion options. Try the Sea Scooter Adventure! The staff of the BOSS team were professional and fun.
Our cabin was beneath the Sea Walkway, so our balcony was a little bigger than most. The bathroom was a full tub, which we used often to soak and relax.
We have friends in the Ft. Lauderdale area so it's fun to arrive a few days prior to the cruise to catch up.
The port area is beautiful, but the city of Puerto Plata is pretty third world.
