This was our third cruise with princess, after having a magnificent time on its sister ship, the Royal princess back in 2017 we thought we'd all get back together and try the regal! There were 10 of us ranging from 22-80 years old.
We were all very excited as we had all just loved our time on the Royal princess but I don't know if princess has changed post covid or cruising in general.
First ...
Let me just start by saying…. My first cruise experience was Carnival. I never went back due to the Loud, party, chaotic atmosphere that some may enjoy but was not my pleasure.
Safety and security on and off the boat is a joke. Tender cards are not monitored. First come first serve. We got kicked from our tender boat as other just hopped on when they wanted to go ashore. We waited 1.5hrs to ...
Service was sub-par compared to other cruise lines. Reservations are required for dining room & impossible to get. Waiting in line for meals is the norm. You don't have a set seating time, table, or server.so meals are anonymous. Cabibs were VERY small not well cleaned. Mold in showe, shower gel and shampoo, and toilet not cleaned once the entire week.Room service is SLOW; 90 minutes minimum ...
I booked this Spring Break 7 day cruise for 7 people. Synopsis: Irritated and sometimes rude crew staff, Hard sell around every corner, multiple charge errors (duplicate charges/over charges), dining room food was hit or miss, there was an overall lack of activities planned and there were either charges for or a hard sell included in the ones that were planned, the cabins were not set up for the ...
My wife and I chose this cruise mainly for the itinerary -- we had never been to Jamaica, Grand Cayman, or Cozumel -- and the timing, which fitted our schedule. (We forgot it was March break, our kids being long grown up). We had done one cruise on Princess years ago, and two each on Norwegian and Royal Caribbean since. Princess seems at least as good as Royal Caribbean, and better than Norwegian, ...
We chose this cruise for three reasons. The first was a lifelong desire to see the Panama Canal. The second was how much we enjoyed our Alaska Cruise Tour with Princess before COVID. The third was - COVID was no longer a concern to us!
First of all, don't get me wrong - we LOVED the cruise. The staff and crew were amazing, cheerful and helpful (especially our cabin attendant Czar). The food was ...
Princess, what happened? I’ve been on close to 40 cruises, including over 100 days with princess, and this was by far the worst cruise I’ve ever taken. When I go on a cruise, I choose the itinerary, the food, and entertainment as reasons to cruise. Halfway through this trip to Panama Canal, I have been let down so much that for the first time, I am actually posting how disappointed I am on a ...
My college aged son and I did the Western Caribbean itinerary for his college term break. It was my 3rd and his 4th time on Regal Princess, and we are both Platinum Status. We flew into Houston Hobby on late Friday night and stayed at the nearby TownePlace Suites, which is a Marriott brand with a mini kitchen. They offered a free Lyft from the airport and were clean and modern. We ordered ...
I just got off the Regal a few days ago and here are my thoughts.
Me: 61 years young, active, not quite retired, Midwesterner. I traveled with my brother and sister-in-law. I chose this itinerary for the ports that included Roatan and Belize, because I wanted to snorkel. Also, this cruise offered a reasonable fare for a solo balcony, my first time for that. This cruise is my last as a Platinum ...
This was our 4th Princess cruise and we really wanted to see the Panama Canal. The Ruby was a good choice, not too big. We know that it will always be a struggle to get a pool deck lounge chair or a table on the pool deck. The deck above the pool usually had lounge chairs available. The Panama Canal passengers were mostly over 50, many with walkers or scooters.
This time we chose a mini-suite ...
