Regal Princess cabins review

Regal Princess cabins with balconies are 1438 (80% of all staterooms). Wheelchair-accessible cabins (for disabled passengers) are 36 (of which 29 Balcony, 7 Inside). The number of all cabin categories is 38. Just like the sisterships and NCL Epic , the Regal Princess ship lacks Oceanview cabins (has no outside staterooms with Picture- or Porthole windows).

Follows the review of Regal Princess staterooms as amenities, furniture and included (complimentary) services:

All staterooms are quads (accommodating max 4 passengers). All balcony cabins are with sliding glass doors (floor-ceiling) opening to a private step-out veranda. Most cabin balconies are relatively small (sized 40 ft2 / 4 m2) and narrow, furnished with footstools, 2 patio chairs and a round table. Balcony railings are either of toughened glass or solid steel. Balcony staterooms have ample closet space, bathroom (WC-shower), double sofabed, desk-chair, chest of drawers.

Regal Princess Suites are in 2 types - Balcony Suite (S2-Owners, S3-S4-Penthouse, S5-Premium) and Mini-Suite (MA, MB, MC, ME, MF, M1-M6-Premium). Bonus amenities offered in all Suites include deluxe mattress/pillows, 2 TVs, upgraded bathroom amenities (massage showerheads, luxury bath products, luxury bathrobes, terry towels), luxury furniture on the balcony. Balcony Suites have additional perks: choice of 3 deluxe mattresses, iPod docking station, sun loungers on the balcony, bathroom with separate shower stall, complimentary services (Internet Cafe, laundry/dry cleaning), exclusive access to Concierge Lounge (located on Deck 14).

All Regal Princess cabins as standard/complimentary amenities offer living area (vanity, desk, seating), 2 twin beds (convertible to Queen-size), deluxe bedding sets (Egyptian cotton linens), wardrobe, desk, smart HDTV (infotainment system, Internet, on-demand-movies), direct-dial phone, electronic safe box and lifejackets (in the closet), hairdryer, bath products (shampoo, body lotion, conditioner), minibar/fridge, individual air-conditioning, evening turndown service, complimentary 24-hour room service.

All staterooms are fitted with the signature "Princess Luxury Bed". The new "cruise bed" was developed in collaboration with PhD Michael Breus (commonly known as "The Sleep Doctor") and the designer Candice Olson. The new cabin beds feature a luxury pillow-top mattress, individually wrapped coils (reducing surface sway) and hypoallergenic duvets.

Passenger-use launderettes (laundromats) are located on decks 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16. These are self-service laundry facilities with ironing boards and detergent being provided.

"Club Class Mini-Suite" is a new cabin category that was rolled out fleetwide in 2017. The new (VIP-guest) Mini-Suites offer the following complimentary services and amenities - "Club Class Dining", Elite Lounge exclusive access, complimentary in-cabin dining (hors d'oeuvres), priority embarkation/disembarkation/tendering. Club Class Dining includes a separate area part of the MDR (main dining room) reserved for Club Suite guests only. The exclusive dining experience includes expedited seating, dedicated waiter staff service, exclusive menu (featuring Chef's specials) and tableside preparation of some dishes. Club Class Dining is available for breakfast and dinner every day, and also for lunch on sea days only. The new suites replaced some existing mini-suites. Their cabin size and layouts remained the same as the other mini suite grades.

Regal Princess Cruise Ship Cabins

The Regal Princess of Princess Cruises has five basic different types of cabins and suites . These accommodations come in many different cost categories, based on the deck, size of the balcony, view (obstructed or not), and location on the deck--aft, midship, or forward).

Cabins and Suites on the Regal Princess

The Regal Princess cruise ship staterooms are almost identical to those found on the ship's older sister ship, the Royal Princess , which was launched in 2013. The primary differences include hand-held shower heads, pillow top mattresses, upholstered headboards, and larger television screens with on-demand programming.

The cabins have a useful closet and shelving configuration, the very comfortable bed, and the well-spaced plug-ins for charging electronic equipment. Using the key card to activate the lights is an excellent feature to help conserve electricity, plus you always know where to find your card!

All of the 1,780 Regal Princess cabins and suites include either a private bath with shower or tub and shower, twin or queen-sized beds, toiletries (shampoo, conditioner, lotion), 100% Egyptian cotton linens, satellite television, refrigerator, hairdryer, private safe, closet, phone, desk, room-controlled air conditioning, 110 and 220 volt plug-ins, daily housekeeping service, and daily turn-down service with pillow chocolates. The more expensive staterooms include other features, which are described in more detail later. Over 80 percent of the staterooms have a private balcony.

The five basic categories are:

Interior Cabin - 342 cabins
Balcony Cabin - 732 cabins
Premium Deluxe Balcony Cabin - 360 cabins
Mini-Suite with Balcony - 306 mini-suites
Suite with Balcony - 40 suites

On the cruise ship , thirty-six cabins (29 with balconies and 7 interior) are wheelchair accessible , and 50 of the cabins are adjoining.

Interior Cabin With Queen-Sized Bed

Interior cabins on the Regal Princess are approximately 166 to 175 square feet. The baths are identical to those in the balcony cabin categories. Some interior cabins also have Pullman beds to accommodate third and fourth passengers. Others connect to an interior cabin next door.

Desk and Vanity Area in Interior Cabin

The Regal Princess interior cabin desk, vanity, and television are good-sized, and the closet is identical to those in the balcony cabins.

Regal Princess Balcony Cabin

With over 40 percent of the cabins in this category, the balcony cabin is the largest Regal Princess cabin category. The approximately 222 square foot balcony cabin has all the amenities included in the interior cabin, but is larger and has outstanding views from an approximately 41 square foot private balcony. Some balcony cabins also have Pullman beds to accommodate up to 4 passengers, and others connect to a balcony cabin next door.

Balcony of a Balcony Cabin

The balconies on the Regal Princess balcony cabins are small, but large enough for two chairs and a small table. Sitting outside on your own private cruise ship balcony is a great way to escape the hustle and bustle of the rest of the ship .

Desk in Balcony Cabin

The desk and vanity area in the Regal Princess balcony cabins have both 110 v and 220 v plug-ins and adequate space for a computer.

Cabin Bathroom

The standard bathrooms in the Regal Princess cabins are all the same, while those in the mini-suites and suites are larger. The standard bathrooms have nice shelving, a large sink, and a large enough countertop. They do not have a make-up or shaving mirror.

Cabin Shower

The showers in the Regal Princess bathrooms have plenty of water pressure and a hand-held nozzle, which is great for washing your hair. The showers also have two controls--one for temperature and the other for water pressure.

Closet and Storage Area in Cabin

The cabin closet on the Regal Princess does not have any doors. This might not work at home but it does on a cruise ship, especially when two people are trying to get into the closet at the same time. The shelving area with private safe is a good place to store things that don't need to be hung up. The cabins all have two bedside tables, and each of these has two drawers, which provides more storage area. The desk/vanity in the cabin also has a storage area, along with the small refrigerator.

Premium Deluxe Balcony Cabin

The Regal Princess Premium Deluxe Balcony cabins provide approximately 233 square feet of comfort and are slightly larger (11 square feet) than the Balcony cabins. The approximately 41 square foot balcony is the same size as the one in the Balcony cabin. The primary difference in the two levels of balcony cabins (premium and standard) is that the premium category cabins each have an additional sofa bed for lounging or sleeping a third passenger. Some also have a Pullman bed to accommodate a fourth passenger.

Entry and Tray Ceiling in the Mini-Suite

The Regal Princess Mini-Suite offers approximately 299 square feet of space and a separate seating area with a sofa bed for lounging or sleeping a third passenger. The sofa bed is larger than the one in the premium deluxe balcony cabin.

The balcony in a standard mini-suite is the same size as the one in a balcony or premium balcony cabin--approximately 41 square feet. The premium mini-suites have a larger balcony.

One big difference between balcony cabins and mini-suites is the bathroom offers a combination tub and shower.

Some mini-suites have a Pullman bed to accommodate a fourth passenger.

Regal Princess Mini-Suite

The Regal Princess mini-suites have a curtain that can be drawn to separate the bed from the small sitting area. They also feature two flat-panel televisions.

Mini-Suite Bathroom

The bathrooms in the Regal Princess mini-suites have a larger countertop and sink area than the lower category cabins do.

Mini-Suite Bathtub and Shower Combination

The Regal Princess mini-suite bathrooms are larger because they have a tub and shower combination rather than just a shower like in the balcony and interior cabins. Those who like a separate bathtub and shower need to move up a category to one of the regular suites.

Regal Princess Penthouse Suite

The 40 suites on the Regal Princess vary significantly in size ranging from 440 to 682 square feet. In addition, the private balconies on the suites range in size from 83 to 338 square feet. Those large balconies are bigger than some of the other staterooms, and they have full-size lounges and more patio furniture.

These suites also feature a completely separate seating area with a sofabed, walk-in closet, full bathroom, and deluxe amenities. The suite guests have many other perks included in the price of their cabins such as free laundry, priority boarding and disembarkation, complimentary mini-bar setup, and breakfast every morning at Sabatini's .

One of the nicest perks for suite guests is a dedicated concierge lounge, with access to full front desk services, light snacks, beverages, and an exclusive area to rest and relax. Of course, a concierge lounge is not complete without a concierge to assist with dining reservations and spa appointments.

Sleeping Area in a Penthouse Suite

The suites on the Regal Princess have a separate bedroom and sitting area. Each area has its own flat panel television and balcony entrance. A curtain divides the two areas.

Sitting Area in a Penthouse Suite

The sitting area in the Regal Princess suites is comfortable, spacious, and elegant--perfect for entertaining other guests.

Desk, Sitting Area, and Balcony in a Penthouse Suite

The sitting area in this Regal Princess cruise ship Penthouse Suite is smaller than in some of the others, but it's still a nice place to relax.

The Regal Princess Suites have a separate tub and shower in the bathroom. Some of the suites even have their own private hot tub.

Has anyone had a obstructed Balcony cabin on Deck 8 on the Regal?

Just curious how obstructed and by what.

Colo Cruiser

They vary. Use the renmar site to give you an idea. Some are only obstructed looking down not straight out.

Mid ship on Emerald (deck 8) has no obstruction.

The pictures above will help you.

The OP was asking about obstructed cabins on the Regal Princess.

Has anyone had a obstructed Balcony cabin on Deck 8 on the Regal ? Just curious how obstructed and by what.

That website appears to have no pictures of obstructed Regal cabins.

The Regal cabins are obstructed by the life boats and tenders and the assorted rigging for lowering and raising the same. They are mostly obstructed to the top of the balcony railing by the top part of the boats. The last two boats to the aft are tenders and are somewhat taller (a little more of an obstruction) than the lifeboats.

I realize that..............thats why I posted the link. There were photos under the Royal/Regal tab at some point I thought.

Maybe thinking of Dave's photos too....

Sorry, the comment was not aimed specifically towards you. The other two posters didn't seem to realize that. And, yes, there were a couple of pictures on one of Dave's threads. Just finding them may take some time.....:cool:

They were really good photos. I am surprised Theo did not use them on his site.

Colo Cruiser is correct, there is a link to the Royal/Regal Princess on my site although it is not nearly as complete as for the other ships. Unfortunately I'm not at my home computer right now otherwise I could post the link (I have no idea how to link from my tablet). I also did use some pictures that Dave posted when he did his excellent tread on the Royal and Regal.

Also unfortunately Princess did, up until now, not offer me any insentive to book these 2 ships so I can take the pictures myself :-) :-) hence the pictures have to come from our fellow cruisers.

normapuglie

I had E703 on the Royal last September. Absolutely no obstruction in any direction except if you were looking directly towards the bow of the ship. You're not between lifeboats. No noise from the lounge below. Loved the cabin and location. Any of the E700 cabins would be the same.

cruisequeen4ever

I've been trying to view the obstructed balconies on the Royal/Regal, too, and the site is showing none when I click on the link. I tried accessing it from my bookmarks on my desktop and by clicking the link in this thread on my phone. Neither worked.

As stated in my earlier post, the mid ship cabins on deck 8 of the Regal have no obstruction. You can see pictures of my Regal balcony on deck 8 in my review below. :)

Colo Cruiser is correct, there is a link to the Royal/Regal Princess on my site although it is not nearly as complete as for the other ships.............. Theo

My mistake, I see it now. I didn't see that second link that comes up on the top of the page after you click on the Royal and Regal link on the first page. The second link was partially obscured by the small pop-up window.

4 weeks later...

My sister in law just received an upgrade from an inside to E626, a "partially obstructed balcony." Would this fall in that same category you mention about the E700 cabins? Thanks for any help

We have booked E702 twice before and 3 of the next voyages on the Royal and Regal. This and 701 or 703 and offer virtually no obstruction other than directly forward and even then you are looking over a craft. The big advantage of these cabins rather than further aft, is that the category is lower price but with a very good view down, out and aft.

What about E626.....what kind of obstruction?

The idea was to go to Renmar's (Theo) Google site.

Here is the exact page you need: https://sites.google.com/site/royalregalprincess/home/8-emerald

And don't worry about seeing Royal pictures as the two ships are the same.

Scroll down until you find E626.

well....thanks....I guess.....looks like E626 is COMPLETELY obstructed, not partially.....can anyone tell if you can see the water AT ALL from this balcony?:confused::rolleyes:

Relax! Although E626 is one of more obstructed cabins - being behind a tender instead of a lifeboat, it is far from "completely" obstructed. The picture you saw was taken with a terminal building in the background, thus no blue water in view.

Take a look the several pictures for E622. It is behind the same tender as E626. You will get similar views except for a little more obstruction from the tender lift mechanism.

I was in Regal E409 and LOVED IT! It is a deluxe balcony with a loveseat and a bit larger than typical Royal/Regal balcony. There really was no real obstruction

Has anyone had a obstructed Balcony cabin on Deck 8 on the Regal? Just curious how obstructed and by what.

Yes, E433 and it was not obstructed. There is a picture in the review of the Regal in my signature. :)

Thanks....just a bit disappointed as the person at Princess told me there was only a beam as obstruction.....looks like a lot more than a beam......oh well....

Most of the people you get on the phone with Princess don't have been on all the ships (neither have I ;)) and for that reason have no idea if the info they have is correct or not. (neither have I ;))

Your best bet for future cruises is go to these boards first before you book.

As for your cabin E626, this one is NOT directly behind the tender. I double checked the picture and layout of the ship and the picture showing E626 should be E624. I will change the pictures soon. Thanks for asking about this cabin.

If you click on this link https://85dfc850-a-62cb3a1a-s-sites.googlegroups.com/site/royalregalprincess/home/8-emerald/Royal%20cabins%201b.jpg?attachauth=ANoY7cqliOhc2YEr3Iuys7_6IIVfbzSGl99gFtrtbfCR-w1llr7oPTuIe8KDc4oMSBQYK2kiV3ZGqC99XXj3rfpGluEAjDOciZioG41ylkG4ofRLWdipt8ABgByj3Sv5u9QVH2uF0akULvk9_Muj9Dxg2APeT5vA2uNU1qyFeS1d-ZOU58GjNl_JQfflE2Uzm0qetnx6PT8G8aEoVy9KX4V6by_exAODUIszTOTv9SmBboGL7At6a-08UhYYC1BBIkmNkOWKs0AT&attredirects=0 you will see that E627 (mirror image of E626) is NOT behind the tender.

If you not happy with this cabin maybe there is still time to change to E628-E630 or E702 which are in the same category.

Princess Cruises ships ranked by size from biggest to smallest — the complete list

Are you looking for the most venue-packed, resort-like Princess Cruises ships at sea? If so, you'll want to get on one of the biggest Princess cruise ships.

The biggest Princess cruise ships are, by their very nature, the Princess ships with the most onboard restaurants, bars and showrooms, as well as the most sprawling decktop pool and lounge areas. The biggest Princess ships have the biggest casinos and spas among ships in the Princess fleet and the most cabins and suites — as well as the most variation in cabin and suite types.

With room for 4,000 passengers or more, the biggest Princess ships are truly large resorts of the sort you find at the biggest vacation destination on land. If you're in the "bigger is better" camp when it comes to a resort experience, these are the Princess ships for you.

For more cruise news, guides and tips, sign up for TPG's cruise newsletter .

Still, Princess doesn't just operate large vessels. The Los Angeles-based cruise giant — the fifth largest cruise line in the world — also has several relatively small cruise ships in its fleet that carry just 2,000 or 3,000 people and have a more intimate feel. In some cases, these vessels are nearly 50% smaller than the size of Princess Cruises' biggest ships. These smaller ships, notably, have less deck-top pool space and fewer interior venues than the biggest Princess cruise ships. However, with fewer people on board, that's not necessarily a bad thing.

The smallest Princess cruise ships are best for vacationers who like a more intimate, less crowded resort experience.

Related: The 4 types of Princess Cruises ships, explained

To make sure you end up on the right Princess ship for you, it pays to study which Princess ships are the biggest and which are the smallest before booking.

What is the biggest Princess cruise ship?

The biggest Princess cruise ship is the 4,300-passenger Sun Princess , which is also the line's newest vessel. It just debuted in February.

Sun Princess is the first vessel in Princess Cruises' new Sphere Class of ships, which have been designed to be much bigger and more venue-packed than the vessels in the line's last new series of ships, the Royal Class.

Sun Princess measures 177,882 gross tons, which is about 22% bigger than the biggest ship in the Royal Class (the 145,000-ton Discovery Princess). Royal Class ships range in size from 142,229 to 145,000 gross tons.

Note that gross tons is a size measurement referring to interior space, not weight.

A second ship in the Sphere Class series, Star Princess, is under construction at a shipyard in Italy and will debut in October 2025 .

For more details on Sun Princess, including what venues are on board and what it's like to sail on the vessel, see TPG's comprehensive first look at Sun Princess after an early sailing.

What is the smallest Princess cruise ship?

The smallest Princess cruise ship is the 2,000-passenger Coral Princess. Measuring just 91,267 gross tons, it's about 36% smaller than Discovery Princess, making it a significantly smaller vessel.

Coral Princess dates to 2002, a time when cruise ships were built far smaller than they are today and with far fewer venues. At 21 years old, it's also one of the two oldest vessels in the Princess fleet and will probably be phased out sometime in the next decade.

While significantly smaller than the newest Princess ships, Coral Princess still has many of the signature spaces and venues found on new Princess vessels, including an Italian eatery called Sabatini's and a steakhouse.

Entertainment venues on Coral Princess include a relatively large main theater for production shows, a secondary lounge that offers comedy shows and other entertainment, and a casino. Like other Princess ships, the top deck of the vessel is mostly devoted to pool areas with hot tubs and lounge chairs. There's also a spa.

While smaller and older than the typical Princess ship, Coral Princess has a loyal following among Princess fans who prefer smaller and more intimate ships.

Are bigger Princess cruise ships coming?

It's not clear yet. Princess currently has one new ship on order, Star Princess. But the final size of Star Princess won't be known until the vessel debuts in late 2025.

Star Princess will be the second vessel in the new Sphere Class of ships at Princess. It's likely to be very similar in size to the first vessel in the series, the new Sun Princess. But it's not uncommon for each new vessel in a series to be slightly bigger than the one before.

Star Princess is currently under construction at the Fincantieri shipyard near Monfalcone, Italy.

Note that this isn't the first time Princess has named a ship Sun Princess or Star Princess. Both are recycled names from past Princess ships. Princess operated smaller vessels under the Sun Princess and Star Princess names up until 2020.

What's the difference between bigger and smaller Princess ships?

The biggest Princess cruise ships have room for more onboard venues and attractions than smaller Princess ships. That makes them more alluring for vacationers who prefer a big resort experience with lots of options as compared to a stay at a smaller resort.

On the biggest Princess vessels, the Sphere Class and Royal Class vessels, you'll find the largest piazza-like central atriums in the Princess fleet surrounded by lots of bars and restaurants; multiple entertainment venues for live shows, comedy acts and more; and expansive pool decks with more space for sunning than you'll find on smaller Princess vessels.

You'll also find some only-on-the-Royal-class-ships extras, including, on some of the Royal Class ships, a glass-floored "SeaWalk" that extends over the side of the vessel.

Princess' smaller cruise ships also are generally its older cruise ships and lack some of the above features, which are more typical of newer ships. These smaller Princess ships have a more intimate feel, at least in the pantheon of relatively big, mass-market ships, and they hold fewer people.

While Sphere Class and Royal Class ships can hold more than 4,500 passengers with every berth full, the line's smaller vessels (particularly the relatively small Island Princess and Coral Princess) often sail with just 2,000 or so passengers on board.

That makes the smaller Princess ships a good choice for someone who wants to try Princess but isn't eager to travel with huge crowds. The smallest ships in the Princess fleet thus appeal to a subset of Princess fans who prefer more intimacy in a cruise vessel and don't mind giving up some onboard amenities to get it. They are also often less expensive to sail on, on a per-day basis.

In addition, because of their size, the smallest ships at Princess Cruises are able to operate itineraries to places that aren't as easy for big ships to visit. Not all ports in the world can handle a ship the size of Sun Princess.

Everything else, including soft drinks, wine, beer, cocktails, spirits and specialty coffees, must either be purchased a la carte or through one of the cruise line's beverage packages .

Do I need reservations?

Reservations are encouraged for the main dining room and the specialty restaurants, and it's best to make them as early as possible ; walk-in parties will be accommodated on a space-available basis. Guests can make reservations via the Princess MedallionClass app or at guest services once you're on board. If you wish to eat at the same time every night, you can do so by reserving your tables in advance.

Platinum and Elite Captain's Circle members have early access to reservations. Passengers booked in a Full Suite or Reserve Collection Mini-Suite don't need to make dining reservations as they will always be accommodated; they also have access to a dedicated space in the main dining room with expedited seating and an expanded menu.

Does Princess Cruises have an evening dress code?

"Smart casual" attire will be appropriate for the main dining room, buffet and fast-casual restaurants. You might want to pack something dressier for the specialty restaurants or one of the more upscale dining experiences like Chef's Table, 360 or a winemaker dinner.

On sailings that are five nights or longer, there will be one or more formal nights, which do require adhering to a dress code in the dining venues . Cocktail dresses, evening gowns or dressy pantsuits are appropriate for women, while dark suits, tuxedos or dinner jackets and slacks are required for men , along with dressy footwear. If you don't want to dress up or forgot appropriate attire, you're welcome to dine at the buffet or any of the other casual dining options on board during formal night.

Is there assigned seating in the main dining room?

What if I have dietary restrictions?

You can use the Cruise Personalizer to indicate your dietary preferences, including requests for low-sodium, low-fat, low-sugar and vegetarian diets. Kosher meals and baby food are available with advanced written requests.

Where can I get snacks on board?

Food at these venues is included, but there is a charge for specialty coffees and teas unless you have a beverage package.

Is room service included on Princess Cruises?

Guests can use the designated button on their cabin's phone to order room service 24 hours a day; each order incurs a $5 delivery fee, which is waived for those with Princess Plus or Princess Premier status.
