This was my 26th cruise on Princess. They are the most consistent, affordable cruise line. The cabins are good sized. Plenty of storage. We were in a mini suite. Two TV's, a small balcony, toward the front of the ship. Bathroom had a bathtub which I don't care about but it was certainly roomy. The food is always consistent. I love eating at the buffet. Theme nights almost every night. Mongolian night and the Asian "bowl" nights are my favorites. Everything is made to order and outstanding. The rest of the nights are Italian, Mexican, American and Gala night. Each one is very good with many, many choices. The staff is so friendly and helpful. Our cabin steward was so efficient. Our cabin was cleaned and restocked minutes after we would leave the room. I think Princess has the best pizza on deck of any cruise line. Hamburgers are good also. The entertainment is good but not great. The crowning jewel is Movies Under The Stars. Absolutely love them. And current movies too. I love the free movies on the TV. All in all, we never have to worry if the cruise is going to be good, as they have all been good. That is more than I can say with other cruise lines that we have frequented. Read Less

We wanted to visit St Thomas again and see Jamaica for the first time. We had a great time. Regal Princess is very clean. Our Cabin was clean and well furnished. Bed and pillows very comfortable. The food was great. We used Formal Dining Room for supper and the buffet in the Horizon for the other meals. Great variety of foods to choose from. Room Attendant, dining room Attendants and the Service Desk Attendants friendly and knowledgeable. The entertainments fantastic, particularly "Bravo". Our excursions in St. Marteen and Jamaica were interesting and informative. Once more we enjoyed our stop in St. Thomas. I was upset for one thing though. On February 12th I ordered red roses for my wife for Valentin's Day. They were supposed to be delivered on February 14th. At 2:00 PM they were not in the Cabin yet. I went to the Service Desk to enquire as to what was going on. I was told at that time that they did not have red roses. I thought they should have informed me of the situation before I went to the Service Desk.. Overall, we had a great cruise experience. We cannot wait to have another cruise with Regal Princess.

We sailed on the Regal Princess for the first time last March, and loved her! So majestic and elegant, with such marvelous fare and service! When the opportunity came along to take adult family along on a cruise this winter, the Regal was an obvious choice. And she did NOT disappoint! The Medallion program is now almost completely operational, and it was a pleasure. Embarkation was a breeze -- we were on the ship within 45 minutes after parking. Disembarkation was even quicker -- we left our rooms about 7:40 and were on the interstate by 8:00! And in between, we were so pampered! It's so nice not having to fumble with your room card when you come and go, and the ability to locate your shipmates on your phone or any of the media panels in the stairwell landings, etc is a marvelous feature. And paying for drinks and other purchases is so quick and easy! The food is very good everywhere. The main dining room is usually my preference. Its pace and refinement pleases me greatly, and the food and options were wonderful. The buffet offers an astonishing variety of quality foods from many different palates. Traffic is managed quite well, and there was never trouble finding a table. Having coffee, tea, water and juice brought to your table is a nice touch. The International Cafe on the bottom floor of the Piazza is always a special treat -- 24 hours a day. Always a nice pastry, sandwich, warm savory dish, and dessert to go with a coffee treat. And while I don't want to let the secret out of the bag (I love being able to just walk in with no queue whenever...), Alfredo's is a very special gem hidden in plain sight! Boasting the ambiance and fairly expansive menu of an up-charge restaurant, it's included in your fare. It offers some of the most amazing pizzas, calzones, and warm dishes! And OH! The Tiramisu!! While the balconies on the Royal class ships are more snug than I'd like, the staterooms themselves are very nicely appointed with plenty of storage and pleasing decor and art. The mini-suite we got upgraded to at nearly the last minute was the envy of our fellow travelers! Having a full-sized tub is a luxury, as is a full-sized sofa and large coffee table! The beds are firm, but amazingly comfortable. And while they refer to them as "queen size", we found them to be closer to the size of our king. Our room steward was so friendly and engaging, and took excellent care of our room. Everything was always sparkling when we'd return from shore or dinner or... We're not avid 'show-goers', but the three shows we took in were very impressive and entertaining. The technical side of the productions is breathtaking! The attention given to creating imaginative sets, costumes, lighting, choreography, sound -- WOW! One of my favorite features of the Regal is the broad selection of magical places that invite you to linger. One of the best is the Wheelhouse Bar adjacent to the Crown Grill -- usually featuring excellent jazz musicians good enough to encouraging dancing... And the rich warmth of the glossy dark wood and artful lighting perfect for creating the right mood for the experience... Exquisite! Our itinerary included the ever delightful Princess Cays (Princess' private island estate in the Bahamas), Falmouth Jamaica (SOO much better than the stop at Ocho Rios that we'd truly disliked on a previous cruise), Grand Cayman (we love this stop!), and Cozumel (with SO many excursion options to choose from that I am sure we will never get to experience them all). It is disappointing to me to note that the Regal will be reportedly leaving North America for Australia -- we love the Regal. But we're sure we'll love her new baby sister, the Sky Princess due in the Caribbean next Autumn -- hopefully just as much. Read Less

Wanted to try a different cruise line and I like the Itinerary. The selection in the Buffett was great. The food in general was great. The production shows were also good. What I was disappointed in ( in comparison to other cruises) was lack of comedians/comedy show. Unless you were into dance lessons, the cruise director was pretty much non existence....while I had a good time it lacked the vacation/party feel... some people may like nice and quiet.... I do it’s relaxing but not all the time. Don’t get me wrong I had a great time!!! The ship is beautiful.. I’ve been on RC, Carnival, Norwegian... I’ve had fun on them all... If you can’t find something on a cruise for you...... then your just not meant to have fun! I enjoyed the movies under the stars, they put cushions and pillows on the chairs for the movies. I did the soda package, which I thought was a good value. It also included “ cocktails”. I would also recommend the coffee card if your into specialty coffees. I would cruise again with Princess... but not married to them either. Read Less

Having previously sailed only Disney {4 cruises}, we were looking for a similar level of service, style of cruising, food, style of ship. Regal Princess did not disappoint! Although instead of 1000’s of children, it was 1000’s of retired folk! Entertainment and theming were obviously not comparable, and I missed the rotational dining offered on Disney. Our room was an aft balcony just under the buffet...LOVED this location! Also loved the open closet facing the bathroom door with full length mirror. Decor was light and bright! Embarkation was quick and smooth, as was disembarkation. We used 3 Princess excursions at ports, and all were wonderful. Bungalows on Princess Cays are worth it! The Sting Ray experience was amazing... high point of our week! Price point was amazing {same itinerary on Disney was twice the cost}. The minor issue we had was resolved quickly. {slow food service in Allegro dining room} A couple cons: VERY little choice for sugar free and low carb options. I purchased the coffee card, but was disappointed they had no sugar free syrups or almond milk. Sugar free peach tart was bland. Husband’s Medallion struggled to open our door as the week progressed, but being the first medallion cruise for Regal I assume they are still working the bugs out. Was overall very impressed with Princess and the ship, and Will definitely cruise with Princess again! Read Less

Chosen for length of cruise and ports. The onboard entertainment was exceptional. The food was the best in my cruising experience. We especially enjoyed the traditional dining room for dinner and we prefered the International Cafe for lunch. I like Princess in general because of these two things plus not having a lot of kids onboard. The embarkation and disembarkation were both very efficient and took less time than any other cruise in my experience. Our waiters and cabin steward were the best ever. This ship is a medalliion ship and it was my first experience with the medallion. I liked it very much for ease of unlocking the cabin door and locating shipmates. I wasn’t fond of my name being displayed beside the cabin door for all to see. The adult only pool is very nice, but it is very crowded when the ship is at sea. The theaters on Princess ships are too crowded. If you don’t get there 45 min before the show you probably won’t find a seat. Read Less

For the money, Princess is a great product. You have to know what you’re getting. Here is my review in Pros and Cons Pros - Nice mini suite layout. Very functional. Plenty of storage. - Food was good, not great. Very good at times. But good enough. - Lots of fun! Entertainment was great, and something is always going on until late. - Embarkation was a snap with the medallions - Disembarkation was a snap (Club Class). Off the ship and in a taxi by 7:30 - Bed is comfy Cons - Not luxury. If you are looking for luxury, up the money and go on another line. - At times crowded. Horizon Court was way too busy, no seats, etc - Pool chairs hard to come by for even 2 - Theater not grandiose and not as pretty as older ships. Crowded. - Speciality dining was pretty good, not excellent. - This is little, but bath towels and pool towels are thin and small. - Showers had no water pressure. Worst ever. We had a great trip. Did not enjoy Princess Cays. Way too crowded, not chairs available etc. Read Less

Just spent another trip on this great ship with all the all the amenities one can enjoy. Cabin was spacious and well appointed and beautifully maintained. Entertainment was superb and all shows were worth seeing and enjoying. St. John and St. Maarten excursions were both enjoyable and had great expanse of views of these beautiful islands. St. Maarten is still rebuilding from the hurricanes, but was warm and welcoming. Services wa as expected, although we found the ship dress much more down scale than expected especially on Formal nights. Recommend a stay a night before to ease the boarding, and possibly a stay after to make the trip home less stressful. The staff make the trip as enjoyable as could be especially the wait staff. Embarking and disembarking were flawless and took less the 30 minutes each. Baggage handling was also prompt and efficient. This is our second trip on the Regal and we would return in a blink.

We just got off this ship on 24 Feb, we have sailed about 6 times on the Regal and are Elite members with Princess. Princess in their wisdom have done AWAY with the oh so popular wine packages, and no longer have White Zin on their wine list. Well since this is the only wine we drink that left us with NO WINE for us on the ship. The wine list has become so extensive and confusing that we would not even attempt to try something else. Princess needs to rethink some of their decisons, talked to several cruisers and we all had same opinion, new wine list does not work for the normal cruiser which is US. We always bought the wine packages and sometimes 2 packages on long cruises so wish they would think before making these changes. Ship food has been upgraded or they have new chefs, it was excellent and they are even bakcing cakes that have flavor and are sweet vs the last years verson which was NO taste, and No sweetness, also not so many rerun items each day, overall food was excellent. Service on this ship was some of the worst we have ever experienced and this is our 26th cruise with Princess, crew not happy, do not even acknowlege when you say "thank you". Read Less

We did enjoy our past cruise on Princess. This is a cruise for the older crowd. Not many young people on the cruise. When I say young, I mean 30's to 50's. a very relaxing cruise. Its a big ship with plenty to do on board. Food is a little sophisticated for me. Wish they had more meals that were simple. Movies under the stars were great, first run movies, they could be a little louder. The wait staff for bar service were few and far between. they didn't really push the alcohol the way I was used to. Our room Stewart was very nice and kept our room clean. we did enjoy the extended stays at the islands. We did love the Medallions, it was easy to get in the room and the ship knew where you and your party was during the cruise. The port was easy to get to and get out of when we got back. Read Less
