We have typically enjoyed princess cruises in our past. This one exceeded expectations as the staff was friendly they ship clean organized and very active. The food was excellent in all then use that we tried. We were very pleased with the food and all of the restaurants. We get try both specialty dining restaurants both Sabatini and the Crown grill and found the service exceptional and the food delicious. The new additions of Alfredo in the International cafe made for excellent breakfast or watch stops during cruising versus going to the traditional buffet. The public areas on the ship are roomy and do not appear to be overcrowded considering the other 3400 passengers with you. The dining Room, which we did anytime dining, was excellent although you do miss having the same servers the overall food and presentation was excellent. Would highly recommend the regal princess for anyone wanting to experience and excellent crews. I would make one comment in that with a larger ship some of your port selections can be limited.
