Creator's Key Takeaways

You definitely won't go hungry on Regal Princess. And overall, I was seriously impressed.

Based on my experience, I'd say it's pretty decent. I managed to upload a video to YouTube fairly quickly, stream a bit of Netflix in my cabin, and many FaceTime calls home without major issues.

I found it super helpful, especially cruising solo. Knowing I could easily order something to my lounger or find my way back to a venue was great.

Regal Princess is a beautiful ship with a lot to offer. And knowing these details beforehand can make your voyage even smoother.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Look at the Princess Plus or Princess Premier packages to bundle drinks, Wi-Fi, and tips.
Book specialty restaurants early, especially Crown Grill, as it fills up fast.
Download the Medallion Class app and get it set up before you sail.
Reserve your spot at the sanctuary as soon as you board, especially on sea days.
Pack one versatile smart outfit for formal nights.
