The advantage of club class is not great enough for price difference. Although the dining staff was exceptional, the table side preparation in the advertising is limited to a head water preparing sauces or adding one or two meal choices to menu. After doing the math I could of paid 14 specialty dining in lieu of the price difference for Club Class. Cruise Lines also can not be trusted for numbers in ship statistics, i.e. it said the regal should have 3400 guests, what they don t tell you is that can go to 4000 or more, straining resources to clean and disinfect. First part of cruise at 3400 was great staff enforced washing hands or using sanitizer, second cruise 4000 hard to get a table, staff to busy to properly disinfect tables or enforce use of sanitizers upon entering. If I had know they would load the ship to 4000 would not of booked it. We both caught horrible viruses and are now on antibiotics. We did everything using the sanitizer washing hands and even had clorox wipes. However if you overload the capacity of the ship, people load the elevators unreasonably as they are fed up waiting. If you take a cruise near the holidays or breaks, you should change the slogan from Come back new to Come back viral. I felt bad for handicapped customers as when a ship is oversold it makes it difficult for them. Long story short we are on antibiotics hoping to get better soon. Of course it can happen but I still believe that if the cruise had limited capacity and done a better job at cleaning we could have avoided getting so ill. Paying thousands of dollars for Club Class mini suite and getting sick is not worth it. Not to mention difficulty of navigating buffet or getting a table. Last cruise for us. Also internet pricing kept changing from booking time to departure. At one point it said unlimited was complimentary to platinum with medallion class. A few months later it was removed and we got an email that we would only get the original 250 minutes allotted for Platinum. Calls to cruise line was unable to verify why they changed the policy and do not retain the policy at time of booking. Last time cruisers.

Cabin Review

Mini-Suite with Balcony

Cabin M1

Cabin was spacious as was handicapped, balcony was enlarged angled so was good. The most positive is the sound proofing, was very quiet. Sofa bed and chairs not comfortable. Hate twin beds with no fitted sheets, they just don t hold on to mattress.
