St. MaartenPortA one-street town on Great Bay: Front Street for duty-free liquor and jewelry, Back Street behind it, and a boardwalk of bars on the sand. The island's real draw is elsewhere — Maho Beach at the end of the Princess Juliana runway, where arriving jets pass a few dozen feet overhead, and the French side at Marigot and Grand Case for lunch.
- Maho Beach plane spotting
- Great Bay boardwalk and Front Street
- Orient Bay on the French side
- Loterie Farm zip line and hiking on Pic Paradis
- Getting ashore
- Docked at the A.C. Wathey pier; town is a 20-25 minute walk around the bay or a few dollars each way by water taxi.
- Best months
- Dec-Apr; Sep-Oct is the hurricane peak, and damage from Irma in 2017 is still visible in places

What Travelers Say About Regal Princess
Reviews of the ship itself — the same for every Regal Princess sailing. Distilled from 129 traveler threads, passenger reviews and travel blogs.
Regal Princess is the 2014 second ship of Princess's Royal class, a near-twin of lead ship Royal Princess that carries roughly 3,560 guests in the same refined, classic-cruising style. It shares all of the class's signatures: the SeaWalk glass walkway projecting 28 feet over the sea, the three-deck Piazza atrium, the Princess WaterColor Fantasy light-and-water show and the line's MedallionClass app experience. As the marginally newer of the two sisters with a more recent refresh, Regal can feel a hair fresher inside, but functionally it is the same ship aimed at the same traveler who values sea days, live music and a social-yet-relaxed vibe over high-energy thrills.
What People Love
- The SeaWalk glass walkway and WaterColor Fantasy show give the ship a distinctive wow factor
- Slightly newer than sister Royal Princess (2014 vs 2013), so interiors can feel fresher
- Movies Under the Stars pairs blockbusters with blankets, popcorn and cookies
Common Complaints
- Recent sailings draw complaints that main-dining and buffet food is mediocre or salty
- Understaffing is a recurring theme - slow bar service and uncleared tables
- On busy Caribbean weeks the ship can feel crowded, with some A/C issues reported
