We had been on the Royal Princess in summer 2016 in Mediterranean and wanted to see the Regal. We had crossed west to east on the Caribbean Princess in April 2017.

The Regal is a comfortable large ship which does not overwhelm you. We were in a starboard mid-ship balcony in Aloha 535. The voyage was smooth and really uneventful, if you like sea-days this is a fine choice. The cabin was more than adequate with a comfortable King bed. Plenty of storage areas, a large screen wall TV, sufficient outlets, and well appreciated toiletries. The shower was smallish but very user friendly. As most travelers find out their best friend becomes the room steward quite quickly.
