we did the transatlantic on the regal from Rome to FLL last fall. It was so good that we booked up this crossing while on board. the crew is INCREDIBLE! The service everywhere on the ship was OUTSTANDING!
We had club class dining ,with our mini suite, and to us ....it was perfect.The advantage of immediate seating at all meals and the quality of the dining staff left us extremely satisfied with the extra expense of club class (now being called "reserve collection"
For years we have been mostly buffet users as the dining room tables for 2 were really NOT tables for 2.(maybe 4 inches separating the tables.) The few times we used the buffet it was good to very good.
