Just sailed on the Regal Princess for our transatlantic cruise... Let me tell you about the positives.... The ship was gorgeous. The food in the buffet was adequate.... The bad news.... The elevators were not running properly.... You had to wait sometimes 1/2hour to 45min to get into an elevator..... This was not a 17 day cruise.... This was a 30 dy cruise, were it picked up addt'l passengers in ...
REGAL PRINCESS REVIEW Sept 23 to October 5th, 2014 Mini Suite L224
PRO’s:
Princess spared no money in public parts of this ship! Beautiful start with the Plaza deck. Our 1st cruise was on the original Royal Princess (700 pass) years ago. After many other cruises we selected a mini-suite, 16th deck, great view, close to the pools, jacuzzi, Prego pizza, and Horizon dining, well worth the price. ...
First of all lets have the good stuff. The food in all the "free" restaurants was excellent. It was as good as the Celebrity cruise we had last year.[perhaps a little better in the evening dining rooms]. The restaurant staff and the cabin steward were excellent.
The bad stuff next. The balcony was disappointingly small. [41 square feet I found out]. There was nowhere we could have a quiet game of ...
We booked the Regal Princess Transatlantic cruise over a year ago. We love sailing from Venice and could not wait to see the new ship. We arrived in Venice two days before the cruise and met the four other people who would be sailing with us. I would strongly suggest arriving at least a day early for any cruise from Venice. It is such a magical place that you be missing so much to just fly in and ...
We did the 17 days transatlantic tour on the Regal Princess leaving Venice on October 17, 2014. We had a mini suite on the Riviera Deck. After the huge advertisement made by Prin-cess for the apparently most beautiful ship, we were very interested to build our own opinion. Here is our report:
When you judge a new ship which according to the advertisement is the best ship which Prin-cess has ever ...
Venice to Barcelona!
Room was great! I hear complaints about the balcony size but it's fine for 2 adults. Your not having a party or entertaining. The room was plenty big and clean being a new ship. Lots of storage space. In almost 2 wks, I saw the steward 5x. Each time I needed something I had to call the desk including getting the water fixed in the shower. It was repaired very ...
We had a port-side full suite on deck 14. Not sure if it was a fluke, but most days we seemed to have the afternoon sun on our balcony, a nice way to end each day. As expected for a brand new ship, our stateroom and the whole ship was in perfect condition. The staff were attentive, friendly and very helpful.
Embarkation was slick and smooth, no issues. We arrived at the pier from our hotel by ...
I chose Alla Tours because my friends said their tours were great and they were. They were on time, very organized, educational, wonderful tour guides and all in all, we felt very well taken care of! I would highly recommend them for any touring in any country.
As far as the cruise itself, it was great. there were a lot of ports but we saw a lot! I loved the ship and the food. The room was ...
I traveled alone this cruise and was a bit concerned about that. However, it turned out to be no problem, friends were everywhere. This was the most international and age diverse cruise I have ever been on, by far. I absolutely felt like I was part of a little UN.
Acommodation -- Since I was alone, and it costs about double to book alone, I tried an inside cabin. The cabin was nice for what it ...
First the good news- the ship is elegantly appointed...badly designed in many ways (but you've read all of that in other reviews). It is as clean and well maintained as many operating rooms I've seen !. The staff is hard working and well trained. Princess' embarkation and debarkation logistics are FABULOUS....well organized and uncomplicated for a huge ship. Port intensive with a fairly good ...
