We chose to sail for the Baltic cruise with Princess after trying other cruise lines for other cruises. Nothing beat Princess in term of services, itineraries, and values. We're group of 11 people (yes, odd numbers) and the dining room able to accomodate all of us in one table which make the dining experiences more enjoyable. Great menu on traditional Dining room (good options considering we have ...
Ship was nice, huge, but things were laid out awkwardly in the buffet (had to walk through many separate sections before you could figure out everything they had to offer). Norwegian buffets are set up better - more open concept and not compartmentalized sections so you can more easily walk around to everything before you make your choice. Also ping pong tables were awkwardly situated beside the ...
Creds: I'm an 18-time cruiser, wife a 25-time cruiser, but our first on Princess. My first time flying to Europe to catch a boat; she did it once before.
Complications for us, that relate to the cruise: Both retired, we figured it'd be dumb to fly over, cruise, fly right back. So, we self-planned a few days in London after our direct flight from Tampa; a "buffer"/safety night in Copenhagen ...
After a horrid experience on the Island Princess, leaving me inclined to seek other carriers, this Baltic cruise on the Regal restored confidence that Princess can indeed deliver a quality experience when they want to. I can only think that much of the positive experience that a passenger receives is the product of effective management by the ship's officers. In this case, I would be led to ...
Exceptionnal logistics to embark, disembark and access to excursions on shore. Very efficient, well oragnised, easy to deal with.
Roomy cabins with balconies for almost everyone.
Very usefull medaillon (RF ID). The cabin door unlocks automatically as you approach it. You can buy anything on board and even on shore (to access hop-on hop-off bus tours starting at the dock), without further ...
My wife and I had a great time on a our first cruise, a 12 day, 9 port cruise around the British Aisles. The Regal Princess is an amazing ship with 3,000 passengers and 1,400 crew. Princess really hyped the "Medallion Class" cruise which turned out to be a medallion with NFC that let you unlock your door, record your leaving and returning to the ship, and pay for stuff. It also included some ...
We LOVE Princess cruises and really enjoyed the 11 day Baltic cruise. Weather was perfect, ports were interesting, Medallion worked great for unlocking your stateroom door and getting on/off the ship. Embarkation with the Medallion takes about 5 minutes, very quick and easy. The ship is beautiful and has plenty to do all day long, at sea or in port, there is always something happening. The ...
We had an amazing holiday on beautiful regal princess . Its lovely inside out. Great iteneries including oslo fjords,st.petersburg, and the beautiful surprise Helsinki. We boarded from copenhagen and had a wonderful, relaxing 12 days like a dream.
The modern ship with 3600 guest and 1500 crews didnt feel any crowding. Everyone had space and time for everything. Great food and very homely and ...
Booked this cruise for the ports which were fabulous. Overall experience for our first time on Princess was disappointing. I expected better service, better food, vacuumed stateroom every day which we didn't get. There were 8 of us traveling and we all picked the Anytime Dining option which was anything but "anytime" unless you wanted to wait an hour to be seated. They wouldn't accept a ...
My wife wanted to cruise the Baltics. Weather was good excluding St Petersburg, not the cruise line's fault. However we booked thru the cruise line, with inclement weather we were stopped from entering for 1 hour 45 minutes - absolute ridiculous - then had to be rushed through - on the bus for a late arrival to the ship.
Nickel and dime everytime you want water or soft drinks, is terrible. ...
