Review summary

Very relaxing cruise with many great ports of call. We really enjoyed being able to visit 5 ports and then only have one day at sea. The Regal Princess is a beautiful ship.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Quick and easy.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
The dining rooms were very nice and the wait staff was excellent but the food left a lot to be desired. The desserts each night were a bit better than the main course but all in all very unimpressed.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Didn't really participate in onboard activities as not much appealed to me.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Enjoyed the music in the main area but the shows did not appeal to me.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our room steward was excellent. His name was Ryan. We were in room M725. All of the staff were extremely courteous and attentive to anything we needed.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Ship was beautiful and very clean. All of the common areas were clean and well maintained.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Cabin was clean and comfortable but a bit small. The satellite TV had problems. It kept losing it's connection and we had to restart movies about 20 times each time we viewed a movie. We were given a $25 credit. The TV was very nice if it had worked properly.

Ship tip

The back of the ship had an extremely smooth ride and the balcony was very large.

Ports of call

New York, New York

5 out of 5
I have been to NYC several times so I did not do any excursions. Loved seeing the city from the Brooklyn cruise terminal, very beautiful backdrop.

Newport, Rhode Island

5 out of 5
We toured two mansions, took the Hop on Hop Off trolley and ate delicious food including lobster.

Boston, Massachusetts

5 out of 5
We did the HOHO in Boston also and toured Paul Revere house, ate pastry at Mikey's Bakery, visited the Old Church, and many other historical sites. Very interesting city.

Bar Harbor, Maine

5 out of 5
We took a tour of Acadia National Park, Cadillac Mountain, shopped downtown and ate another delicious meal including lobster, clam chowder and blueberry pie right on the harbor with a incredible view. Another great port.

Saint John, New Brunswick

5 out of 5
Took a tour and viewed the Bay of Fundy during low tide and high tide, went to the farmer's market, went to St. Martin to see the sea caves and covered bridges and had seafood chowder at the restaurant in St. Martin. Excellent tour, very interesting seeing the Bay of Fundy and the reversing rapids.

Halifax, Nova Scotia

5 out of 5
Halifax was very beautiful. We took a tour which included a HOHO bus and then board another bus to Peggy's Cove. We also walked to the Maritime Museum which included Titanicc artifacts. Peggy's Cove was definitely worth the one hour drive. We ate a lobster roll at the restaurant there and it was excellent.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Disembarkation was easy and fast.
