"Princess offers option of Tea/Coffee service in our stateroom with a kettle and tea/coffee brought daily
Enjoyed option of 3 dining rooms: Allegro, Concerto and Symphony in addition to Alfredo's for casual dining (not a buffet fan); MDR food seemed superior to what we experienced on Celebrity (Sitting at the same restaurant became stale and the quality was not what we expected several occasions - albeit this may be a post-Covid adjustment given Celebrity cruise was earlier in 2022.Celebrity had amazing guest performers of a higher calibre
Seemed to have more vegetarian/GF options than Princess in buffet area
The Celebrity app seemed less buggy than Princess Medallion system
Port seminars were recorded and available on stateroom television to watch at your convenience
Enrichment speaker was knowledgeable and a good speaker (Naturalist based on Caribbean destination)
Tendering seemed better organized with Celebrity (At Mykonos, we were sitting and waiting for more than 2 hours to be called to disembark reducing our time in port - might have been a local port issue vs a ship issue?..."Read More

I just got off the Regal a few days ago and here are my thoughts.
Me: 61 years young, active, not quite retired, Midwesterner. I traveled with my brother and sister-in-law. I chose this itinerary for the ports that included Roatan and Belize, because I wanted to snorkel. Also, this cruise offered a reasonable fare for a solo balcony, my first time for that. This cruise is my last as a Platinum ...
We sailed on the Regal Princess out of Galveston last week in a BW obstructed extended balcony. there was no obstruction looking straight out. The room was clean, comfortable and the cabin steward did a fine job. We made all 3 port stops and had beautiful weather. Smooth sailing the entire week.
The MDR food continues to disappoint. The quality in meats, butter, cheesecake etc is so much ...
We chose this sailing for an 80th birthday celebration for my mother. We wanted to leave from Galveston and were hoping for a more premium experience than the other lines sailing from there. I don’t think Princess delivered though.
First, the Regal Princess is a beautiful ship. Most of the crew were friendly and thoughtful. However, before I even arrived at the terminal, I expected the worst. ...
We had so much fun! Our room steward was amazing! The food in the main dining room was very good. The breakfast buffet was also very good. The International Cafe was delicious and very easy to grab a quick bite. We went late to the dinner buffet, and it was not so great - but it was late and to be expected. The ports were a lot of fun, and this cruise seemed to be a nice mix of sea days and ...
We wanted a different experience than last years Ruby princess cruise. same month, same ports(sorta). similar ships.
Wanted a better experience with service than last year. we paid extra for the Reserve class. we got it. It only provides dining room service. nothing else. they say you get a better location balcony but i didnt see any difference in that. Service in the dining room was ...

Our weeklong cruise on the Regal Princess to Mahahual (Costa Maya), Mexico; Roatan, Honduras; and Cozumel, Mexico was a mixed experience.
The new Princess app and the website were both frustratingly difficult to navigate.
The public areas of the ship were spacious and beautiful, living up to the ship’s name. However, throughout the cruise there was poor sanitation in the public restrooms, ...
I went solo on this cruise and there was a great group of people who organized several activities such as a gift exchange, duck painting and a slot pull. Cabin steward was good and there were plenty of activities. The Retreat pool was the best and I enjoyed the Enclave. Also had speed painting which was a fun idea. There were 4 different comedians on a 7 day cruise and the production shows were ...
The service was great and the crew were very attentive. Lots of people work on the ship and they tried very hard to please. The cabin steward kept our room clean. The waiters were very nice and did a good job. The food and entertainment were not that great. The dinner food was better than the food available in the buffet and room service, but none of it was that tasty. The specialty restaurants ...
The last time we cruised on Princess was a wonderful Panama cruise in 2017. After that, we decided we were done with cruising for a while until last fall when I saw a cruise leaving Galveston, 7 nights, Western Caribbean. It was in our budget, so we reserved a balcony cabin.
The ship is very beautiful inside, but overall the cruise was quite disappointing, mostly due to the poor quality of ...
