I'm Platinum with Princess and have cruised 30+ times with other cruise lines, so I overall love cruising. For this cruise, I would say the food was wonderful, the entertainment was hit-or-miss, but the biggest barrier that would keep me coming back to this ship was lack of AC in common areas (summertime Caribbean is no joke), and super long lines and wait times for EVERYTHING.

Back in the early 2000s, I got hooked on cruising like a fish on a line. But then I took a break for a while. Fast forward to April 2023, and I'm back at it again with my third cruise in the last two years, this time aboard the Regal Princess - my very first trip with Princess Cruises. As a solo cruiser, I sailed with Virgin Voyages in December 2021, and then again in December 2022 on HAL's Nieuw ...
I planned this cruise when I was 14 and he was 15. When he asked me to go steady…I said “Yes” and if we are still together at 50 years we are going on “The Love Boat”. Just back from the Regal Princess! Dreams do come true!
Embarkation was a breeze. Our cabin L2** on the Lido deck was ideal! Just around the corner from the buffet, pools and activities! Our steward Shanal kept everything in top ...
We chose this ship to celebrate our 30th anniversary. We booked a penthouse suite.
Overall, the cruise ship is beautiful and the staff are well trained, vey polite, and seem to be really happy to bon the ship and provide a great customer service. When you book a suite you also get a concierge lounge which was a game changer for us. Kevin, Alexandria, Fiorella were all amazing and truly made our ...
We are Elite members having sailed with Princess many, many times. The layout of the new ship was familiar. The staff attentive. Our suite in the Penthouse category was comfortable enough but could have been much larger in the balcony space. The 2 attendants were wonderful: never missed a beat. The concierge in the Suite Concierge Lounge was also extremely helpful. What was most disappointing ...
First time back cruising post Covid. In all fairness we only have the past cruises, Pre- covid to compare to. We have been on 1-2 cruises a year over 5 different cruise lines. There seems to have been a great cost cutting on board regarding the food and entertainment. (Disappointed)
(1.) FOOD: The dining room menu is very limited, with small portions and limited meats. ANYTIME dinning ...
My wife and I just returned from our 11th Princess cruise departing from FTL aboard Regal Princess on January 29 for 7 nights. This is our second cruise on this ship; we last sailed on the Regal four years ago just before Covid hit. We like the overall layout of this ship and we observed it was very clean and well maintained! The onboard entertainment was excellent, both in the main theatre and ...
We have cruised Celebrity, Holland America and Royal Caribbean. We loved this ship. We thought the food in the MDR was excellent and even better than the specialty restaurants. Room service food was great. Our fav place to get breakfast or a snack was the cafe on deck 5, which made wonderful cafe lattes. We do not eat meat but found the wide choice of vegan and fish foods to be wonderful. These ...
It is hard to find a 14 night cruise that makes a circle in the Caribbean and doesn’t return to home port after 7 nights. This cruise has a good balance of sea days and port days. You have to pace yourself when choosing activities off the ship or you can wear out when you’re doing 6 or 7 ports back to back.
The food this trip was excellent in the main dining room. The entrees were tasty and ...
EMBARKATION - The Medallion did speed up the initial check-in process. Note: There was no clear signage or direction given that you need to pick up a boarding number card upon entering the waiting area. Being a first-time Princess cruiser, I found out only by looking around and seeing others holding cards. They kindly directed me to a small desk off to the side back at the waiting area's ...
