The one major, highly frustrating drawback is the MedallionClass app Princess uses. When it worked, it was pretty good. The problem is that it would freeze up better than 90% of the time I tried it and required a restart of the app
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Princess' embarkation process is the smoothest and quickest we've ever experienced.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
Buffet and main dining room food quality are above average for this class of cruise. The steakhouse, Crown Grill, was about average. Sabatini's, the Italian specialty restaurant was one of the best we've gone to.
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
The pools on the Regal Princess were very nice except that, especially the Retreat pool, they were very deep and didn't allow people less than 6' tall to touch bottom very often.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
Did not attend a stage show, but the musicians in the Piazza were top-notch.
Children's Programs
Did not travel with children
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Service across the board was very good.
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
Well maintained and clean if a bit dated. The only drawback is that the Allegro dining room on deck 6 is not directly accessible from the rest of deck 6.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Very clean and roomy. Bed was very comfortable, but a firm pillow option would have been nice.
Ship tip
Do not miss the mixologist shows in the Good Spirits at Sea bar. It's a good show but, more importantly, they make the best cocktails on the ship (and they are included in the drinks package).
Grand Turk is also a port built by Carnival and, like Amber Cove, is pretty much another private island. At least at Grand Turk there is the opportunity to walk down the beach off the port property and do a little exploring. I would highly recommend Jack's Shack for cracked conch and conch fritters.
Maybe we didn’t use the app the same way on the Enchanted Princess last month but we had no problem with it. We did notice some of the staff would just ask for a room number instead of scanning the app.
Have two more Princess scheduled, Jan and Oct 2023, I am currently scheduling other lines for the rest of 2022 and 2023 due to the app. Sad, because Princess is our favorite.
