Review summary

The Regal Princess is a beautiful ship. The shows and singers and dancers were phenomenal. Pool area was nice and the large screen added a nice touch, especially with video of fish, coral , turtles, etc.  When we got on the ship we were bombarded with everyone trying to sell drink packages.  I estimate 10 different staff tried to sell it to us. Not classy.   Not impressed with the food selection, availability and quality. Showed up at the Crown Grill 20 minutes before lunch closing time and was told it was closed.  Had no idea on when restaurants were open or closed. It was closed on Saturday at sea. Need a consistent food offering. Pizza/grill closed at 11:00pm. Also, sitting in the Allegra dining room over what seemed to be an engine room was awful!  The vibrations were really bad. Could not get into the marriage show or comedian.  Too small a venue. The princess@sea communication was up and down and not reliable at all. Best part was being with family!

We were on Regal for two weeks at Christmas and had a NICE time, ship was beautiful, staff totally helpful ALWAYS working. the food was wonderful in the Horizon Court and Allegra. Felt very little movement in Allegra but did not like the way you had to come and go from Allegra. Waiters were superb. Chops grill was the best dinner we have had in a LONG time and the servers were outstanding.

What part of the cruise did you like since you gave it five stars. A little confused.

carnival pizza is 24/7 and ice cream also. sounds like you picked the wrong cruise line.
