Rare scubacruiserx2 Posted February 24, 2016 #1 Share Posted February 24, 2016 All of our Princess cruises have been on the Caribbean Princess from Port Everglades ( http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2094420 ) , and so we thought that a cruise on a Royal class ship would be a nice change . We booked a Western Caribbean cruise on the Regal Princess leaving on Sunday , February 7th and returning a week later . Our stateroom was R - 734 , an aft view balcony cabin , and this would be our first trip as elite . When we arrived at 12:30 pm we expected to find a crowd like our first Caribbean Princess cruise . But there was no such crowd . And with the elite line we moved so fast that I didn't have time to pull my camera out ! When we entered the Atrium all I could think was WOW ! We ate lunch at Alfredo's Pizzeria on deck 6 . Menu Antipasto Mari e Monti Rollatadi Melanzane We thought that it was funny that we couldn't find anything with Alfredo sauce on the menu .

Rare scubacruiserx2 Posted February 24, 2016 Author #9 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Thank you everybody , how about some more photos ? My DW shared one of her veal filled pasta pockets with me , delicious ! After lunch we moved to our waiting stateroom . And this is the hall across the ship in the aft . On first view , the cabin was similar to the Caribbean Princess - but with a flat screen ! Looking aft toward a sitting area and the veranda . A very nice balcony ! With a view of the opened 17th causeway drawbridge . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare MicCanberra Posted February 25, 2016 #17 Share Posted February 25, 2016 looking forward to more:D I am hoping that Joe points out some of the differences between the Regal Princess and the Caribbean Princess, as I have heard many people do not like the Regal's or Royal's design.

Will do Mic . Most of the comparisons will be to the Caribbean Princess (CB) , but we will primarily emphasize our trip and the new R -class Princess ship .

Rare scubacruiserx2 Posted February 25, 2016 Author #22 Share Posted February 25, 2016 The clothing storage area and safe was similar to the CB . And so was the small bathroom's design But the shower stall was now a little larger and shower head can now be hand held - a definite improvement ! However - it still had the same clingy curtain . A couple of elite perks were the Lotus Spa goody bag And a stocked mini bar ( we brought the wine ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
