About the Ship

What Travelers Say About Regal Princess

Reviews of the ship itself — the same for every Regal Princess sailing. Based on 1,500 discussions.

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
