I spent a week aboard Regal Princess sailing to Princess Cays, San Juan and St. Thomas, with a Mini-Suite to call home and plenty of eating to do. From Chef’s Table Lumière and the Caymus Winemaker Dinner to grabbing pizza at Prego, I found a lot to like, along with some service issues that left me scratching my head. My daily trip reports take you through the whole week, so if you’re considering Regal Princess, come see what I enjoyed and where things could have been better.

A great vacation is more than just a ship; it's a seamless experience from the terminal to the final debarkation. To provide the most accurate ratings, I evaluate every voyage on eight key dimensions. These scores determine the rating for a specific cruise, which then feeds into a rolling average to calculate the overall 1–5 star rating for the ship and the cruise line
| Category | What We Evaluate | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Embarkation | Speed of check-in, terminal efficiency, and the muster process. | First impressions set the tone for the entire vacation. |
| Stateroom | Layout, storage, technology (USB/outlets), furnishings, and noise levels. | This is your "home" at sea; it must be functional and comfortable. |
| Dining & Food | Taste, quality, and service in the MDR, buffet, and specialty restaurants. | We rate every food outlet individually to find the best value for your money. |
| Service | Attentiveness of cabin stewards, bartenders, waitstaff, and senior officers. | Great service can elevate a budget cruise to a premium experience. |
| Entertainment | Engagement level, production quality (Broadway vs. amateur), and variety. | You should never be bored, but you should not feel overwhelmed either. |
| Vibe & Guests | The passenger mix, age, activity level, and the general atmosphere onboard. | The crowd you sail with can make or break the daily "vibe" of the ship. |
| Itinerary | Port mix, time in port, sea days, and whether the route matches the trip you booked. | The ports are the reason most people book, so a strong route can carry a so-so ship. |
| Debarkation | Organization and speed from the ship to the curb on the final morning. | A chaotic "hot mess" at the end can ruin a great week. |
The "Rolling Average" Guarantee: One bad cruise won't tank a line's rating, but consistent issues will. My ratings are ever-changing and based on real-world experiences to ensure you have the most current data for your 2026 planning.
