πŸ…AuthorityOakland Travel

β€œthe ocean view Cafe is the best the best buffet I've seen yet in 20 years of cruising on across all the ships all the cruise lines the gold standard so far”

πŸ…AuthorityOakland Travel

β€œThe Horizon Court buffet just kills it on both the Majestic Princess and here on the Regal Princess.”

πŸ…AuthorityOakland Travel
The Watch-outs

β€œHorrible planning because uh it just doesn't work very well for large volumes of people.”

πŸ…AuthorityOakland Travel

β€œIt was uh it was a mess at night. No directions, no map, no tour, no guide to kind of go with us.”

πŸ…AuthorityOakland Travel

β€œthey don't bring you back down here to where the tenders could easily pick you up take you back to the ship instead you have to do a cable car which is a complete mess”

πŸ…AuthorityOakland Travel

β€œI'm going to throw them under the bus and back up and run over them again because they really screwed up the trip quite well by losing our luggage”

πŸ…AuthorityOakland Travel

β€œI'm so afraid that someone's going to come and snatch my baby.”

Pro Tips From Creators

The most-shared advice for Oakland Travel.

  1. Be careful with souvenirs as they add weight to your luggage; airlines charge significant fees for being over the 50-lb limit.

  2. Bring waterproof gloves for excursions in cold/wet climates.

  3. Check if shore excursions offer special menus for vegetarians or vegans.

  4. Use Google Translate to help with local pronunciations if you are unsure.

  5. Head to deck 16 behind the Horizon Court for the best wake views during sailaway.

  6. Always clarify if tour instructions are in local time or ship time to avoid being late.

  7. Check your excursion ticket for the specific meeting location and zone number.

  8. Stay on ship time when returning from shore excursions.
