Regal Princess Review
Rating by category
Additional details
We were on the Royal Princess Feb/March 2019 on the South America cruise and thought the Baltic Cruise on the Regal Princess early June, would be a good comparison of the two ships. While both ships have similar decor and design we were somewhat disappointed in the Regal Princess.
We thought the age of this ship showed. The staff did not seem as friendly and happy. It was rare to see ships officers involved with guests or staff whereas on the Royal Princess this was a common sight. The cabin staff did not clean the balcony of bird droppings that were reported the first day onboard. The biggest disappointment was the wifi. On the Royal Princess 30 mile off the coast of Chile wifi was tested at 35 MB/s which provided excellent FaceTime contact to family. Throughout the Baltic cruise the wifi was never above 4.2 MB. which is barely enough for email.
On the positive side the dining and entertainment were very good especially in the specialty restaurants. The Horizon buffet dining had very good food and many choices but seating was often hard to find, probably the colder weather brought all the poolside crowd inside.

Port Reviews
Copenhagen
We arrived 3 days before embarkation. The Copenhagen card at a cost of about $60 per day was very useful in doing our own exploring. These city cards are available for many European cities and allow travel on buses, train, metro and even a canal cruise. They also allow admittance to many attractions either free or or a discount of 20%. A beautiful city with many interesting attractions. Everyone speaks very good English.
Tallinn
A picturesque old town.
