jannray Posted December 7, 2023 #1 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Have recent embarkations Regal Princess Regal improved any recently? We have been hearing about very long lines outside but then nothing. Any info? Best time to arrive for parking at EZ Cruise? Any other helpful hints?

Cajuntraveler Posted December 7, 2023 #2 Share Posted December 7, 2023 We boarded the Regal on Nov12th and the embarkation was chaos. Disembarkation on 11/19 was also bad - customs required face to face confirmation instead of using facial recognition software. Since disembarkation on 11/19 took so long, I assume embarkation was also delayed. Txnight did a "live" for the Nov. 26th cruise and reported: "Our disembarkation time was 8am. We went down at 7:15 to people watch. Noticed the line was moving so we got in. The line moved good and we were at our car at 8. No facial was used just a quick look at passport." 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolcruise02 Posted January 22 #3 Share Posted January 22 We just boarded on Jan 14th. Easy!! We left our hotel at 9:30 and we were on board by 10:30. We parked at the Express Lot dropped off our luggage and entered the building. No lines for security or check-in. We sat in chairs for a couple minutes and they started boarding at 10:15.

flwinejunkie Posted January 23 #4 Share Posted January 23 I'm cruising out of Galveston for the first time in February. Does Princess offer a separate check in waiting line for platinum/elite guests? Do they also offer a platinum and/or elite waiting room inside the terminal if you're unable to walk on the ship yet? Thanks for your help!

Coolcruise02 Posted January 23 #5 Share Posted January 23 There was no separate line for security or check in but upstairs in the waiting room there was a separate seating area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merinski Posted January 28 #7 Share Posted January 28 We went on Jan.7th get there early, we were there around 9:30, still had to stand inline outside, but were among the first to go in and check in was so easy with the medallion and were on the ship by 10:30.

cruiserj12 Posted January 30 #8 Share Posted January 30 (edited) It seems like the issues that have been reported earlier have been resolved. We arrived on 1/28 around 10:15 am and waited about 5 minutes outside before being let into the terminal. They started allowing people through the security checkpoints at 10:30 am. We were on board by 11:00 am. Edited January 30 by cruiserj12 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajuntraveler Posted February 25 #10 Share Posted February 25 For those interested in the Regal Princess out of Galveston, I'm attaching a link to the Galveston port web cam.
