Creator's Key Takeaways

I would do that cruise again in a heartbeat.

The crew do a really really good job. They are they're um anxious to take good care of you.

They don't have enough crew for that ship.

I absolutely I love the Princess Experience.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Allow adequate transfer time from Southampton to Heathrow (1 hour 20 minutes to 2 hours).
Be aware that UK has removed liquid requirements for carry-ons, but US security still requires finishing liquids before connecting flights.
Consider independent excursions for more control over itinerary.

About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Description

We’ve just returned from a 12-day British Isles cruise on the Regal Princess, and today I’m sharing what stood out the most—what I loved, and what didn’t quite meet expectations. Plus, I’ll walk you through our experience flying home from Heathrow and what to watch for if you’re traveling soon. Here’s what we cover: 🛫 Heathrow Travel Tips – Transfer times from Southampton, Delta/Virgin Atlantic check-in quirks, and an update on the UK’s new liquid-free security rules. 🚢 Regal Princess Review – Entertainment, activities, and crew were excellent, but there were noticeable challenges with short-staffing and excursion changes. 🧳 What Surprised Us Most – Fewer enrichment talks and excursions not matching what was originally listed. Why I’m leaning toward more independent tours in the future. 🌍 Looking Ahead – We’re already planning to return to the British Isles in September 2026 on Majestic Princess for a group cruise! ❤️ Personal Note – A family loss reminded us all to live intentionally and not keep putting off our “someday” plans. This was a beautiful, memorable cruise, and we would happily sail the British Isles again in a heartbeat. 📧 Questions about Regal Princess or joining our 2026 group cruise?
