Review summary

I cruised with my mom. We've cruised on another line prior to this. We thought that this cruise line would be higher class and better food and entertainment. The food on the cruise was bland and very rarely hot. The food in the Crown Grille was good and hot, wish the desserts in Horizon Buffet were as good as here.

Most of the staff was friendly. The waiters and bartenders were slow on the beverages and since mom and I had beverage packages, it seemed like they avoided us. The Unlimited beverage package is a pain to have, maybe they do it that way so you don't drink as much. The last straw was when I realized that I had received 15 bed bug bites at the end of the cruise. When I approached the Passenger Services rep (Ricardo) he talked down to me as to why I didn't report it with the 1st bite. Well we had been at port a few days and I just figured they were mosquito bites but when more showed up after a day at sea, I knew they weren't mosquito bites.

Food was supposed to be amazing but if you don't eat seafood and you like seasoning on your food, it's not for you.

Ship Quality

Ship looks clean and quality built but a roommate of Bed Bugs isn't what I'd call clean.

Island was beautiful and clean and no one harasses you to buy items.

Cozumel, Mexico

3 out of 5
We did the Tequila, Pueblo de Maiz, and tour of the other side of the island excursion. It was a great excursion and long so you felt like you got your monies worth.

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

We've been on the Regal 3x and booked again in November. We've done 16 Princess cruises and never had an issue with bed bugs. In December we did a B2B with the all-inclusive beverage package and had no problems being served.

Been on Regal Princess several times. Had excellent, hot food and great beverage service. Going again in Dec. 2017.
