Regal Princess features an impressive number (16) of bars and restaurants and a luxury spa. Regal offers unique features to her guests, such as a glass-enclosed walkway over the ocean known as the SeaWalk.

Princess Cruises new ship design

The first sailing season of Regal Princess started in the Mediterranean on October 17, 2014, when the ship headed for Fort Lauderdale, FL. A curious fact is that in 2016 Princess Cruises starred in a new 6-part ITV documentary "The Cruise". On March 3 the show aired for the first time in the United Kingdom. It focused on the life of cruise passengers and crew as they sailed through Northern Europe and Russia onboard the Regal Princess. The line featured in a TV documentary for the second year. In 2014, sister ship Royal Princess was featured in reality show "The Cruise Ship".

Decks and Cabins

Regal Princess staterooms (1780 total, in 38 categories) include 350 Suites, 1088 Balcony and 342 Inside cabins, in 38 categories. The ship has no Oceanview cabins. Most outside accommodations (1438) have private step-out balconies. The ship also has 36 wheelchair-accessible cabins. The largest are the Balcony Suites (470 ft2 / 44 m2 plus 210 ft2 / 20 m2 terrace).

The boat has 18 decks , of which 15 are passenger-accessible and 8 with cabins.

Regal Princess Wiki

The shipbuilding order was placed on February 17, 2010. The shipbuilding contract with Fincantieri was signed on May 4, 2010.The vessel's keel was laid down in August 2012. The launch (float-out from drydock at Monfalcone ) was on March 26, 2013. Sea trials were in the Adriatic Sea (April 16-21, 2014). The boat was officially delivered on May 11, 2014.

The 4-day pre-Inaugural Cruise (May 16-20, 2014) was to Kotor Montenegro from Trieste Italy . The itinerary was operated prior to the Maiden Voyage from Venice (May 20, 2014).

Fun facts: It takes 3 million man-hours to build a Royal-class cruise ship. For its construction are used 37,000 tons of steel. For instance, about 12,000 tons of steel were used for constructing the Disney Concert Hall in  Los Angeles . The paint used for the vessel is 95,000 gallons (360,000 L), which is two times more than the quantity consumed for Golden Gate Bridge (re-painted annually). The electrical cables wiring the whole vessel are long 2484 ml (4000 km) which is enough to link  NYC  with  LA .

Regal was Carnival Corporation 's first liner with installed  Ocean Medallion  technology. The ship also hosted the company's largest gambling/slot tournament (USD 200,000) via a partnership with Scientific Games Corporation. The themed "Monopoly Cruise for Cash" onboard casino campaign was offered throughout 2018 (fleetwide). It culminated on the Regal ship in December, during the 7-day Eastern Caribbean cruise (itinerary Dec 9-16) roundtrip from Fort Lauderdale to St Maarten, Princess Cays and St Thomas.

In July 2019, Carnival Corporation placed to the Finnish marine engine producer Wartsila an equipment order for delivery and installation of a waste gasification system on Regal Princess. The technology is based on a self-fuelling thermal decomposition unit that provides safe (and sustainable) disposal of vessel's waste (contaminated, dry-burnable and hazardous materials) which is usually offloaded at seaport facilities. The new gasification system recovers energy from ship's waste heat (produced by thermal destruction) which additionally results in lower green gas emissions and energy savings. The system reduces vessel’s waste to ~5% (of its original volume) and produces a sterilized material (BioChar) which is recycled within the unit as fuel.

The vessel's powerplant includes four Wartsila marine diesel engines (model 46F, 2x 12V and 2x 14V) with combined power output 62,4 MW (83,700 hp). The propulsion system is based on two azipods with combined power output 18 MW (24,000 hp).

The ship has Fincantieri Monfalcone yard/hull number 6224, volume 142714 GT-tons, DWT-deadweight tonnage 12193 tons, LOA length 330 m, beam 38 m (max width 47 m/including the Navigation Bridge's wings), max draught 8,6 m.

Shot of a white cruise ship on the sea in a harbour against a blue sky with the ship reflected in the water - Regal Princess Review

An in-depth review of the Regal Princess cruise ship from Princess Cruises – including cabin reviews…

Want to know exactly what to expect from a cruise on the Regal Princess ? I’ve travelled on this ship twice now and know first-hand how much fun it can be.

So, following those two trips, I decided to write up a review of the Regal Princess to give you an idea of what to expect on board.

As one of the largest ships in the fleet of premium cruise line Princess Cruises, this huge ship is packed with incredible facilities and amenities.

A few years ago, when I cruised Scandinavia and Russia with Princess Cruises , I posted a review of the trip and the ship mixed together. Since I’ve now done two trips on the Regal Princess, this is kind of an updated review, a ship tour, and a breakdown of everything that’s available onboard.

Hopefully, this will help you plan and get excited for your own trip on the Regal Princess. If you’re still looking for your perfect cruise, this post could also help you decide if the Regal is right for you.

Regal Princess Review

Balcony cabin, interior cabins, gym and sports facilities, other facilities, regal princess entertainment review, restaurants included in your dining option, speciality restaurants (additional fee), regal princess bars, princess cruises oceanmedallion review, princess premier, princess cruise review – conclusion.

This Regal Princess review is based on two press trips I’ve done with Princess Cruises and Traverse. The photos featured are from both trips. As always, all words and opinions are my own and unbiased.

The Regal Princess ‘ inaugural cruise was in May 2014, so it’s still a relatively new ship – and that’s reflected in the decor and overall upkeep throughout. Before I crack on with my full review, here are a few facts about the Regal Princess to introduce the ship:

  • Guest Capacity:  3,560
  • Number of Crew:  1,346
  • Length:  1,083 feet
  • Height:  217 feet
  • Tonnage: 142,229
  • Number of Decks:  19

Regal Princess Cabin Reviews

There are a total of 1,780 cabins onboard the Regal Princess, including 38 wheelchair-accessible cabins. These are the 5 different kinds of staterooms onboard:

  • Inside: 161-240ft 2
  • Balcony: 222-333ft 2
  • Deluxe Balcony: 233-312ft 2
  • Mini-Suite: 299-465ft 2
  • Suite: 440-705ft 2

On my two trips, I’ve stayed in both a Balcony cabin and a Mini-Suite, so I can review two of the room options onboard the Regal Princess. Next time, hopefully, I’ll get to try out a suite and update this post with some more info!

Regal Princess balcony with view of the sea and a silver bowl of fruit on a small white circular table on the balcony next to the glass barrier with wooden edging - cabin reviews

At first glance, my Balcony cabin looked quite small, but it was actually surprisingly spacious. The rooms are really well designed to make use of the space, with lots of clever storage options and an enormous wardrobe area.

My favourite part of the room was the bed!  Princess Cruises are known for their beds: the Princess Luxury Bed was designed in collaboration with a sleep expert! I adored mine. It was so comfy, and the huge upholstered headboard was a nice touch for watching TV whilst lazing in bed.

The decor is lovely and bright, with soft neutral colours. With the room being dominated by the patio doors to the balcony, you get a lot of natural light. There’s nothing better than lazing in bed in the morning with the doors open, listening to the sound of the ocean!

The main highlight of the room is, of course, the balcony. It’s a lovely, big space with a small table and chairs and a glass barrier. This was the perfect spot for lazing about watching the world – or the sea – go by!  

The interior cabins were more or less the same as the balcony cabins on the Regal Princess, minus the balcony. Similar decor and size, and just as comfortable, but without the sea views. If you’re not on a tight budget, it’s definitely worth the splurge to opt for a room with a balcony!

Regal Princess Mini Suite cabin review

On my more recent trip with Princess Cruises , I stayed in a Mini-Suite onboard the Regal Princess.

This was substantially larger than the balcony stateroom, which made for an even more comfortable experience. The decor was similar – with the addition of a sofa, coffee table, and a larger desk. There were also two wall-mounted TV’s, so you can watch from the sofa or from bed, depending on your mood!

The sofa is actually a sofa-bed, and there’s a curtain dividing the two “sections” of the room. So you could actually fit up to four people into the Mini-Suite if you wanted to. I’d say this is a better option for families with small kids, as it might be a bit of a squeeze for 4 adults. Then again, if you don’t plan on spending much time in the room other than sleeping, it’s a handy way for a group to save money on their Regal Princess cruise.

Overall, the upgrade to the Mini-Suite felt very much worth it. The extra space and amenities made for a much more comfortable experience!

Looking along the side of a cruise ship from one of the cabins, there is a long strip of glass along the centre of the ship with a wooden deck below and empy blue sea to the left with a clear blue sky with pink on the horizon just after sunset.

Activities and Facilities

There are SO many activities and facilities to enjoy onboard the Regal Princess. I’ve already written about all the activities and entertainment options onboard in this post , with more in-depth info, so check that out for a full breakdown.

Top outside deck of the Regal Princess cruise ship with wooden floor covered with metal and blue canvas sunbeds. there is a rectangular blue swimming pool in the centre of the deck with the Priness Cruises logo of an abstract hair with long wavy hair painted on the floor of the pool. in front of the camera there is a white circular hot tub with bright blue water. the deck and pool are empty on an early morning with blue sky above.

There are three excellent pools, several hot tubs, and numerous sun loungers if you want to simply relax and enjoy the sunshine on deck.

My personal favourite was The Retreat, an adults-only area near the front of the ship which was often a bit quieter than the main pool.

There’s also a wealth of sports facilities onboard, including a large gym where you can exercise with a sea view!

  • Fitness Centre with a well-equipped gym and a private aerobics studio
  • Outdoor Jogging/Walking Track
  • Centre Court – can be used for basketball, tennis, volleyball and badminton
  • Driving Range
  • Batting Cage
  • Simulated Laser Shooting
  • Lawn Court – a grassy area for putting, bocce ball, croquet and lawn bowling
  • Game Lounge –  including table tennis and virtual gaming with Kinect TM  systems
  • Lots of daily activities, from ballroom dancing to zumba to yoga. Check the daily schedule for more details.

Lotus Spa – A surprisingly large space with dozens of treatments rooms, as well as a gorgeous thermal suite called The Enclave . The staff are all lovely and the treatments are spot-on! I’ve visited twice and can highly recommend it.

Princess Cruises Spa

The Sanctuary – a private, adults-only area of the outside deck where beds and/or cabanas can be hired out for an additional fee.

It’s $20 for a half-day and $40 for a full day, so pretty reasonable for the luxury of peace and quiet! I absolutely LOVED my afternoon spent lazing in the sun here on a plush lounger, with attentive service from our own personal server! Plus the afternoon tea was fab.

SeaWalk – a glass walkway jutting out from the edge of Deck 16, some 128 feet over the ocean. Perfect for Instagram snaps!

Casino – a pretty large casino filled with slot machines, electronic games, and traditional table games.

Onboard shops – There are a surprisingly large range of shops onboard the Regal Princess, including an art gallery

Regal Princess Seawalk at Night, a curved covered walkway made of glass with a white frame and glass floor. the walkway curves away from the side of the ship creating an oval space in between and the camera is looking through this with the ocdean and part of the ship deck down below. the walkway is lit up in purple against the night sky.

The entertainment onboard the Regal Princess is absolut ely top-notch. All the performers I saw were amazing, from the musicians playing live in bars to the dancers and singers in the theatre productions.

There was such a huge range: fun classic covers from the ship’s band, celebrity guests (we had a Gareth Gates concert on my most recent cruise), comedians, and West-End-worthy theatre productions.

Entertainment on the Regal Princess

Again, you can find a full breakdown of the entertainment options onboard the Regal Princess in my other review, so I won’t go into details here. Instead, here’s a quick list:

  • Princess Theatre: a full-blown theatre company with a different show every night – and with several big musical numbers. Don’t miss the signature show, BRAVO.
  • Vista Lounge: a more intimate entertainment venue where the ship’s in-house band perform, as well as other performers such as comedians and illusionists.
  • Movies Under the Stars: big screen on the top deck.
  • Nightly Fountain Show
  • Princess Live!gameshow 
  • Trivia Sessions
  • Classes – demonstrations, classes, destination-themed activities, fitness classes, and even lectures

Regal Princess Food Review

One of the best things about the Regal Princess is the food. There are SO many options, and it’s all so good. Many of the restaurants are included in your dining option, including some that you might expect to pay extra for. Be sure to try as many as you can on your trip!

I’ve already written a full review of the Regal Princess dining options  and a breakdown of all the different restaurants, so check that out for much more in-depth info. Below I’ll just share a brief overview of all the options.

4 Main Dining Rooms

You can choose between fixed dining and anytime dining at the Regal Princess main dining rooms. Fixed Dining means you’ll be assigned a table and dine at the same time every evening (unless you choose to dine elsewhere) – so you’re always guaranteed a table.

For Anytime Dining, you’ll be assigned one of the other two main dining rooms and can simply head there whenever you’re ready (but you might have to wait for a table at busier times).

Allegro’s – Fixed dining.

Symphony – Anytime dining.

Concerto – Anytime dining.

All of them have the same menu every night, so you don’t need to feel left out about only being assigned one. The menu is a la carte and changes every day, although there’s also a list of about 5-6 “Princess Favourites” which are available every day.

Other Restaurants included in your Dining Option

Horizon Court and Horizon Bistro – two adjoining buffet restaurants on the lido deck near the top of the ship. 

International Cafe – open 24/7 with pastries, sandwiches, and other snacks – as well as a coffee bar*.

Alfredo’s Pizzeria – sit-down restaurant serving up gourmet pizzas.

Prego Pizzeria  – poolside eatery serving pizza by the slice.

Trident Grill – poolside eatery with mainly bbq food.

Swirls – ice cream parlour.

In-Room Breakfast – room service breakfast, which you order by filling out the card in your room.

*Additional charges apply to the speciality coffees unless you have a Beverage Package or Princess Plus (more on that later).

Sabatini’s –  Italian speciality restaurant – $35pp.

Crown Grill – Incredible steak and seafood restaurant – $39pp. One of my favourites on board.

Chef’s Table Lumiere – set menu served at a special table surrounded by a “curtain of light” – $110pp.

Ocean Terrace – a la carte seafood and sushi restaurant. The sushi here was amazing!

Gelato – ice cream parlour also serving waffles and crepes.

24/Hr Room Service

A list of all the bars onboard the Regal Princess – there are 13 to choose from!

  • Vines – wine bar.
  • Bellini – champagne bar.
  • Piazza Bar – different performances thoughout the day.
  • Good Spirit’s – cocktail bar with a live cocktail-making show in the evenings.
  • Wheelhouse Bar – nautial themed.
  • Crooner’s Bar – live piano music.
  • Mermaid’s Tail – poolside bar.
  • SeaView – poolside bar.
  • Outrigger Bar – overlooking the terrace pool.
  • Churchill’s – cozy pub-style bar for smokers.
  • Princess Live! Cafe bar – along the side of the ship.
  • Vista Lounge – live entertainment venue.
  • Club 6 – small nightclub with dancefloor

One of the things that sets Princess Cruises apart are their fab OceanMedallions™ .  These are tiny, wearable devices  (about the size of a 10p) which make your whole onboard experience effortless – and contactless!

Roshni, one of the bloggers I was travelling with, has written an excellent post reviewing the OceanMedallion in-depth – so check that out for full details.

It’s your room key first of all – but you don’t even have to get it out of your bag. As soon as you walk near your door, the digital display outside greets you and the door unlocks!

The medallions also allow for contactless boarding. As soon as you walk near the scanner, your profile photo pops up, and the staff greet you by name. It made boarding so much more efficient than my last two cruises

Using the MedallionClass app, you can use the OceanNow feature to order from the bars, restaurants and shops for delivery right to your location. The staff will use your OceanMedallion and the logged profile picture to find you – so you don’t have to queue – or even move!

The same technology also allows you to find your friends and family onboard – you just have to add them as a friend in the app, and you can locate them whenever you need to.

There’s also a map on the app which you can use to plot a route to wherever you need to get to.

The Medallions come on a lanyard, but you can also buy other accessories to make it more discrete. I like the little clips, which I clipped to my bag.

Finally, the JourneyView planner function  lets you see all the activities and entertainment coming up  on your Regal Princess cruise. It’s a great way to stay on track and plan your days on the Regal Princess.

All-Inclusive Princess Plus Fare

Bartender mixing cocktails on a cruise ship

On my most recent trip on the Regal Princess, I tried out the new All-Inclusive Princess Plus Fare for my review.

This includes unlimited WiFi, an all-inclusive drinks package, Unlimited juice bar, Premium desserts (2 per day), Fitness classes (2 per cruise),  2 casual dining meals per guest, OceanNow® delivery, room service delivery, and Crew appreciation (tips) – and it’s only £50pp per day.

When I took my last cruise with Princess, the Plus Fare package covered less stuff but only cost £30 a day – which I thought was well worth it. Now, I think it’s only worth it if you think you’re likely to spend at least £50 day on drinks and treats during your cruise. If you’re not a big drinker, you might want to simply pay as you go.

Plus Beverage Package

The Princess Plus Fare comes with the Plus Beverage Package, which I made full use of on my trip!

I’ve copied the following from the Princess Cruises website to make sure I get it right:

Our Plus Beverage Package includes the classics: sodas, Speciality coffees and teas, cocktails, spirits, wine and beer up to $15 each. Even hot chocolate, smoothies and water to go. You’ll also enjoy 25% off all bottles of wine. Whatever you want – with tips included!

Even if you don’t plan on drinking much in the way of alcohol, it’s good to know that all your soft drinks and speciality coffees etc are covered.

Best WiFi at Sea

Princess Cruises pride themselves on having the “best WiFi at sea”!

If you’re going on holiday to switch off, you might not care much about that. But if you want to stay in touch with folks back home via WhatsApp or email, or post to social media during your trip, you might want to stay connected. And data roaming charges can be excruciating, especially at sea.

The WiFi onboard wasn’t always perfect, but it worked well for me almost all of the time. I struggled more using my laptop when trying to do a bit of work (involving uploading photos), but I was able to post photos and videos to my Instagram stories and Twitter throughout the trip without a problem.

A couple of the others in my group said they encountered connectivity problems, but I didn’t have any. On the whole, I’d say it was pretty decent WiFi – especially for such a large ship, at sea in the middle of who-knows-where!

Crew Appreciation

Princess Plus also includes Crew Appreciation. Basically, this means tips are paid in advance on your behalf, so you don’t have to worry about bringing cash onboard with you.

Crew incentive is $16 per person per day for Interior, Oceanview, and Balcony staterooms, $17 per person per day for Mini-suite and Club Class staterooms and $18 per person per day for Suites.

The next level up is the Princess Premier package, which includes everything Plus covers – as well as a whole lot more.

It costs £65 per guest and includes:

Wi-Fi (up to 4 devices per guest), Premier Beverage Package (drinks up to $20 each), Unlimited juice bar, Premium desserts (unlimited), Fitness classes (unlimited), Photo package (unlimited digital + 3 prints), Princess Prizes, 2 speciality dining meals per guest, Medallion accessory, Reserved theatre seating (for production shows only), Unlimited casual dining meals, OceanNow® delivery, Room service delivery, and Crew appreciation (tips).

The Premier Drinks Package “includes everything our Plus Beverage Package does as well as drinks up to $20 each with a premium selection of spirits, cocktails and wine by the glass. You’ll also enjoy 25% off all bottles of wine.”

Outdoor top deck of the Regal Princess cruise ship with an empty blue rectangular swimming pool in the centre and a raised circular stage area beyond that with a big screen showing a film with dolphins swimming underwater above that. there is ocean around the cruise ship with a few islands in Stockholm Harbour on a sunny day with blue sky.

I’ve travelled on the Regal Princess twice now and had a fabulous time on both trips. There are so many things to do, so many facilities to enjoy, bars to drink in, shows to watch, and foods to eat that you could never be bored!

The thing I like best about Princess Cruises is that they let you have exactly the kind of cruise you want. Whether you want to lounge by the pool all day drinking cocktails, or fill your days with ping pong tournaments and bingo sessions, there really is something for everyone.

You can keep yourself as busy (or as un-busy) as you like – it’s your holiday, after all!

Thank you for all this great information. We are headed to the Caribbean in February on Regal. I have looked everywhere online for a Princess Patter for general info on times of shows. Would you happen to have a copy of one Thank you

I don’t I’m afraid. But I believe the entertainment schedules and show times are different for every cruise, so even if you do find one I don’t think you’ll be able to make any plans around it. Could you contact Princess Cruises and ask if they have the schedule yet for when you’ll be onboard?

Your review was very informative, this will be my first cruise o the regal princess. What was included in the thermal spa or enclave. I only seeking steam sauna, jacuzzi pool, as I have always called the wet area, it will be a 7 day cruise. Thank you ,

Hi Rita, thanks for reading. There was a hydrotherapy pool, steam room, sauna, and a few other features like a giant rainforest shower and day beds for relaxing on. I believe you can pay to just use the “wet spa” – or it’s included with treatments. You can go and chat to the spa staff on your first day to make bookings etc. Hope that helps :)

Going on regal princess in may to British isles. Need WiFi but don’t drink and wondering if just better to pay by the day or get a package.. thanks for help. I have 2 devices.

Hi Carolyn! I think that depends on whether you’ll use the other stuff that’s included on the package. Princess Plus includes WiFi for 1 device per guest, but also things like Premium Deserts and Fitness classes, and dining at some of the a la carte restaurants instead of just the buffets. In terms of drinks it’s not just alcohol – but also all the sodas, speciality coffees (like lattes etc – I think only filter coffee is free). If you’ll use all those extras then it’s worth paying for the package – but if the only thing on the list that you’ll use is WiFi then it’s going to work out cheaper to just pay for that daily. WiFi costs $24.99 (about £20) per day at the moment, whereas the Princess Plus package is £50 a day.
