Review summary

I was very disappointed in this ship.  Although the décor is beautiful, there is a serious lack of organization onboard.  They are not able to accommodate the large number of guests during registration, mustering out or lounging by the pool.  It took us an hour and a half or longer standing in line to board the ship.  We stood another hour in the confusion of the mustering out drill.  Our dinners all took 2 hours from appetizer to dessert.  We had to get up at 7:30 in the morning to hope to get a chair on the pool deck.  The entertainment was good.  The ship is clean.  And the food was fair.  I would not book this ship again.  In fact I don't think I will book Princess again.

For being a balcony room it was very small.

I have listened to so many people complaining about the 2 hour dinner. News flash, it's not McDonalds! Any 4 course properly served meal should be about 2 hours. Dinner is a social event and a big part of cruising. If you want to stuff your face and run might I suggest the buffet .

Just got off the Regal. Embarked at 12:30 pm and walked right through. Easy. Saving of deck chairs an industry issue. Family had a wonderful time and looking forward to Alaska cruise with Princess late summer

You hit the nail on the head.... I completely agree with you! I will be traveling with other cruise lines!

Sorry you had a bad cruise. We have been on the Regal and loved the ship and the staff. I guess we will never see you as we cruise on Princess exclusively. We have done 10 cruises with our 11th booked for October. Again, sorry you didn't enjoy yourselves
