Review summary

Loved the size but looking forward Vista in January.Just more options.Ninety percent of my fellow passengers were from L.A. and boy do they let you know it.So cool,rich and in their eyes more important than you.And I’m from Los Angeles!(just minus the attitude and plastic surgery)

Embarkation

5 out of 5
With only 650 passengers max,will never get easier than this!Drop off to lunch in 20 minutes.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
All very good. Rgatta only has two specialty restaurants as opposed to four on the larger ships. That’s the only drawback. We ate in Terrace Café, their buffet, three times for breakfast. The one time we ate there for dinner, which was a Mexican food theme night was a bit of a letdown. when it comes to alcohol Oceana puts on several 2 for 1 happy hours and one greet the captain all you can drink.Never disappointed in MDR.Staff all excellent.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Did just what we were hoping to do.Relax by pool and veranda.Visited small spa and fitness center.Always able to find pool chairs.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Basic stuff.Limited on such a small ship.Saw comedian twice.Hilarious stuff.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The best from top to bottom.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Spic and span. immaculate.and easy to navigate.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Everyone knows this class has small cabins and even smaller bathrooms but the bed was great.Unless you’re body parts are massive the cabin is just fine.Our cabin was in the very rear of the ship.Very cool place.

Ship tip

Enjoy the fact that the ship is small maxing out at 650.Good for us….yes.Good for you..?

Ports of call

San Francisco, California

Two perfect days.Sunday had breakfast at Sears on Powell and then the last Giants game of the season.Monday took an organized tour from Oceana to theMuir Woods and a visit to Sausalito.Just a great two days.

San Pedro (Los Angeles), California

Just a place to embark and disembark.Easy.

Thanks for sharing. We loved Regatta for all the same reasons. Looking forward to sailing on her again someday. We did book the new Allura for 2026, but I think Regatta will still be my favorite.
