Trip Bacon β€” The secret ingredient to the perfect getaway logo

Key Moments

Editorial Summary

The creators provide a comprehensive tour and review of the Regal Princess, evaluating the ship's amenities, dining, and overall atmosphere. They describe the vessel as a premium cruise experience that is more luxurious than mainstream lines but remains accessible to the middle class. The tour covers various decks, including the sun deck with its children's clubs, the sports deck featuring a mini driving range, and the Lido deck which houses the buffet and various bars. The creators highlight the abundance of seating throughout the ship, noting that even at near capacity, they rarely struggled to find spots in lounges or the buffet. Dining experiences are reviewed extensively, with high praise for the buffet, the International Cafe, and specialty options like the Crown Grill and Sabatini's. They also discuss the Medallion technology used for navigation and service. While they enjoyed the varied entertainment, such as guest singers and enrichment talks, they noted some limitations, including a small casino and occasional internet connectivity issues. Ultimately, they conclude that Princess is a strong option for travelers, particularly those interested in Alaska itineraries.

Creator's Key Takeaways

the buffet selections were good they were definitely on a call with Celebrity Cruise lines as far as the buffet options

the service was absolutely phenomenal and that's one of the advantages of a premium Cruise Line

the food was fantastic in the main dining room the portions were reasonable fairly small which was good

we really enjoyed it and we definitely thought it was worth the uh the additional up charge

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Get to the sanctuary area as soon as you get on the ship to secure a spot.
βœ“Try to get to the dining room early on the first day to secure a table.
