This was the first cruise for my wife and myself. The cruise was fabulous. The Regal Princess was gorgeous and its staff was friendly, helpful and accommodating. We had no complaints. Most of the ship's stage entertainment was great and professionally done.  One or two of the shows were good but not great. St. Thomas and St. Maarteen were enjoyable ports of call. The Princess Cays (ship line private Bahamian island) was a nice beach for relaxing but not more to do except for the barbeque. The food was unbelievable and abundant aboard the ship. For most people, there is no need to eat at the speciality restaurants. The dinner meals in the assigned dining rooms (we dined in the Allegro) were very delicious with a wide variety of appetizers, soups and salads, entrees and deserts. The dining room staff was very, very cordial and aided in explaining items unfamilar to the diners.
