St. Petersburg, Russia has been on our bucket list for years as has the Scandinavian Countries. We chose this cruise because it encompassed all of the countries we wanted to visit without having to pack and unpack, haul luggage on trains or to planes and it was our hotel, our meals and our entertainment neatly packaged!!!
We were impressed with how Princess handled the 3500 passengers both ...
I recommend this cruise to everyone I know. It's the perfect way to get an introduction to Scandinavia and by far the best way to see St. Petersburg, Russia. Everything about the cruise was stress free and very well organized, the medallions were incredibly easy to use.
Embarkation:
Embarking in Warnemunde was the fastest and most painless experience I have ever had with a cruise. We took ...
This was the second time we have sailed on the Regal Princess. The first was on the Med Cruise on the first few months the Regal went into service. We found the food in the dining rooms not as great at the first cruise, but the staff still helpful and great. The buffet was..well the buffet..as expected. The ports were the attraction for this cruise and they were great. We only used one ...
Took a chance on this Baltic cruise based on itinerary and calander, we've sailed on Princess before and wanted to see what the larger ships had to offer...going smaller next time. The large ships definitely have the glitz and glam but miss the personal feel we experience on Oceania and Windstar.
Embarkation was a breeze taking all of 60 seconds. Gettting on in Warnemunde is easy when 90% of ...
I chose this cruise because it stops in Oslo. Few cruise ships include this beautiful city into their baltic itinerary. If you want a complete baltic/scandinavian experience you cannot afford to skip Oslo. Regal Princess ship is very large but easy for passengers to move around it. Accommodations were comfortable and rooms were very clean. Food was ok. Portions were small but you could always get ...
After a Princess cruise to the Panama Canal on Coral Princess, we had wanted to do another Princess cruise. The Regal Princess was doing the Baltic and then repositioning to North America. We really liked the variety of ports and wanted to do a Trans-Atlantic. We were not disappointed on either itinerary.
The Regal Princess is an incredible ship and it offers much in terms of comfort, ...
I now know that I'm not a fan of big box cruises. The Regal is huge and jam packed. Not my thing. However, if you fancy big crowds, lots of flash aka Vegas, then it's the cruise for you. The staterooms are well appointed, yet small. I did appreciate the laundry mats on each floor. The food was mediocre as well as the service. Our stateroom stewards were exceptional while the dining staff ...
So to begin, I am not a cruise lover BUT I wanted to go to St. Petersburg and start from a Berlin visit. All in all, service spectacular, value good, met my needs. Wish the St. Petersburg had been a 3 day stay and that the port for Stockholm was not an hour bus srive away, cutting into the day in this wonderful city. Sorry that day in Oslo was Sunday as almost everything is closed! Helsinki ...
Royal Baltics and Transatlantic 9/2/14-9/27/14
Embarkation
We got on the ship quickly with plenty of time to settle in and explore before muster. The ship was the same as it had been last year when we spent a month on it; large and laid out well but still lacking a full promenade deck outside. We went to trivia and quickly found some partners who were good, although Ken was the star player. We ...
August/September 2014 Berlin and Royal Princess Cruise: Baltic’s and Transatlantic
Part 1: Berlin and Royal Princess Baltic’s Cruise
8/23-9/2/2014 Pre Cruise time in Berlin
We had a delightful 10 day stay in Berlin before we got on a cruise ship for the Baltic’s and Transatlantic cruise back to NYC. We really enjoyed Berlin and it was probably the highlight of the vacation.
We stayed in Berlin ...
