Everything was excellent, ***AVOID SABATINI'S*** I won't lower rating based on one bad meal. All restaurants were fabulous especially Crown Grill!!

We loved the bran muffins!!

Sabatini's Italian Trattoria

1 out of 5

Worst menu and meal we have ever had only meal that was not incredible aboard the Regal Princess.

Alfredo's Pizzeria

5 out of 5

Thin crust pizza I could eat every day!!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Lotus Spa

4 out of 5

Best massage I ever had but be prepared for the sale of products used for your massage before you even leave the table!! Kind of takes away from enjoyment when we weren't expecting it.

Sanctuary

4 out of 5

It was extremely tranquil but if it's a windy day the flags are very noisy and take away from the serenity provided. Service is excellent.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

For the above criteria a five star, but one additional reason for lower rating was location. We were immediately below Lido deck so we would hear lounge chairs being put out every morning between 6-7. We were up so not an issue but late sleepers may want a location on lower floors or not under the lido deck.

Ship tip

Sanctuary is nice book asap on the ship as it fills up fast!!
