Regal Princess Overview

Regal Princess  offers cruisers a bevy of new and exciting entertainment options. For instance, the pool deck, one of Princess Cruises' largest yet, hosts water and light shows where water will shoot up to 33 feet in the air as lights flash and music plays. The ship also has her very own TV studio, where passengers can attend a taping of a cooking demonstration, comedy act or magic show, all of which will be broadcast onto the televisions in every stateroom. On top of that there are more than a dozen places to dine aboard the Regal Princess , from the formal Chef’s Table Lumiere to the Gelato bar, featuring the most gelato options at sea.

• Passenger Capacity: 3,560 (double occupancy)
• Year Built: 2014
• Last Refurbished:  2017

• SeaWalk Princess Cruises gives you the opportunity to walk on water with their amazing SeaWalk feature. This is a glass walkway that is 128 feet above the water below. The walkway juts 28 feet over the edge of the ship as well, so when you look straight down you see the ocean below. This incredible walkway is sure to knock your socks off.  

• Balconies Regal Princess has done away with oceanview staterooms. All outside rooms on this ship include a balcony. Experience the fresh sea breeze in the morning and catch the sunset while wearing your robe - all from your delightful balcony.  

• Movies Under the Stars Regal Princess, along with her sister ship Royal Princess, are roughly 20 times larger than any other Princess ship, so you’ll find lots more space onboard, and Princess used this to their benefit on the very important pool deck. With a couple pools, the larger-than-ever Movies Under the Stars screen and now a light, sound and fountain show, you may never want to go to your stateroom.

Best Cruise Ship for Entertainment (2024) February 16, 2024

— Our editors and readers independently select what you see on 10Best. When you buy through a link on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission.

Book a trip on one of these 10 cruise ships — selected by our panel of cruising experts and voted as the best by readers — and you'll be wishing for more long days at sea to explore all the myriad entertainment options on offer. From bowling or skydiving at sea to Broadway-style shows and stand-up comedy, there's never a dull moment aboard these ships.

No. 10: Wonder of the Seas - Royal Caribbean International

Royal Caribbean's Wonder of the Seas offers a wide selection of wonderful and entertaining experiences atop the waves, such as the iconic AquaTheater, thrilling zip line adventures, water slides, and the vibrant Royal Promenade with a variety of shopping options. From the glow-in-the-dark laser tag game to award-winning live shows, the Wonder of the Seas provides an extraordinary blend of excitement for all ages. 

No. 9: Symphony of the Seas - Royal Caribbean International

Symphony of the Seas is truly a massive entertainment destination on the water, featuring Broadway-style productions (like "Hairspray"), and the awe-inspiring AquaTheater shows with first-rate performers. Experience the Ultimate Abyss, the tallest slide at sea, the surf simulator, and the challenging sports and bar and arcade. With seven distinct "neighborhoods," with bars, restaurants, and clubs, this Royal Caribbean gem ensures excitement and fun for all.

No. 8: Allure of the Seas - Royal Caribbean International

Guests aboard Allure of the Seas look forward to sea days because the ship is loaded with so much to do. Thrill-seekers can zip line, rock climb, skydive, and surf, or for something less adrenaline-pumping, splash around at the H20 Zone Water Park. Nighttime entertainment includes thrilling high dive feats at the outdoor AquaTheater, performances of the Broadway hit "Mamma Mia!" and ice skating shows.

No. 7: Norwegian Encore - Norwegian Cruise Line

There's always nonstop excitement on the Norwegian Encore cruise ship. Feel the adrenaline rush at the largest racetrack at sea, catch award-winning shows, and savor global flavors at the plethora of different dining venues onboard. This ship's vibrant nightlife, including the comedy club and pumping dance club, ensures tons of fun — day and night. 

No. 6: Celebrity Beyond - Celebrity Cruises

It's always exciting aboard the Celebrity Beyond, where top-notch entertainment takes center stage just about everywhere. From jaw-dropping acrobatics to exclusive performances by professional musicians, this ship blends sophistication with excitement.

The Princess Theater aboard Regal Princess is one of the largest theaters in the fleet. Within, passengers are treated to mesmerizing musical productions, as well as a variety of other live acts. A poolside screen shows movies, sporting events, and concerts under the stars (with free fresh-popped popcorn), while the Princess Watercolor Fantasy Show presents a stunning spectacle of water and light dancing in time to music.

No. 4: Koningsdam - Holland America Line

Unlike many ships with traditional theaters, Koningsdam's World Stage can transform with multiple configurations to best fit multiple productions. You can also sing along at Billboard Onboard or enjoy the Rolling Stone Rock Room which presents live classic rock. Meanwhile, the sounds of Memphis set sail at B.B. King's Blues Club.

No. 3: Carnival Vista - Carnival Cruise Line

Fun takes many forms aboard Carnival Vista. For example, SportsSquare features an attraction found on only three Carnival ships: SkyRide, a combination between a bicycle and a zip line. And the Carnival Multiplex screens IMAX films, while a three-deck-tall main theater hosts multiple Playlist Productions on each sailing.

No. 2: Carnival Breeze - Carnival Cruise Line

With Carnival's "Fun Ship" mentality, it's no surprise that Breeze is a contender in the entertainment arena, especially for kids and teens, who have things like Seuss at Sea, SportsSquare ,and WaterWorks to enjoy. There's plenty on offer for adults, too: pickleball, live concerts, Punchliner Comedy Club, and live musicals by Playlist Productions.

No. 1: Carnival Celebration - Carnival Cruise Line

Carnival is known as the "fun" cruise line and their Celebration ship is made for good times! This lively vessel boasts an abundance of high-caliber entertainment venues, live music happening throughout the ship all day long, a Punchliner comedy club, thrilling waterslides, and their famous roller coaster at sea, Bolt. With many casual and upscale dining options and nightly deck festivities, the Carnival Celebration is truly a nonstop party.

Regal Princess Itineraries

Regal princess review, review of regal princess.

The 2014-built Regal Princess cruise ship is the 2nd Royal-class vessel in the Princess Cruises fleet , with fleetmates Royal Princess (2013), Majestic Princess (2017),  Sky Princess (2019), Enchanted Princess (2021) and Discovery Princess (2022). From the same class is also the P&O UK 's liner Britannia (2015).

The vessel (IMO number 9584724) is currently Bermuda- flagged (MMSI 310674000) and registered in Hamilton .

History - construction and ownership

Princess Cruises is a USA-based passenger shipping company headquartered in Beverly Hills CA. A former subsidiary of P&O Princess Cruises (1977-founded), in 2003, the company merged with Carnival Corporation - the world's largest cruise shipowner. Among Princess Cruise Lines Ltd's assets is the Caribbean private island resort Princess Cays (on Bahamas Eleuthera Island's southern end), located approx 80 km (50 mi) from Nassau .

The 3600-passenger ship Regal Princess is among the largest cruise ships sailing the seas. The vessel was built at Fincantieri shipyard, Italy and has 19 decks. Regal Princess features an impressive number (16) of bars and restaurants and a luxury spa. Regal offers unique features to her guests, such as a glass-enclosed walkway over the ocean known as the SeaWalk.

The first sailing season of Regal Princess started in the Mediterranean on October 17, 2014, when the ship headed for Fort Lauderdale, FL. A curious fact is that in 2016 Princess Cruises starred in a new 6-part ITV documentary "The Cruise". On March 3 the show aired for the first time in the United Kingdom. It focused on the life of cruise passengers and crew as they sailed through Northern Europe and Russia onboard the Regal Princess. The line was featured in a TV documentary for the second year. In 2014, sistership Royal Princess was featured in the reality show "The Cruise Ship".

Decks and Cabins

Regal Princess staterooms (1780 total, in 38 categories) include 350 Suites, 1088 Balcony and 342 Inside cabins, in 38 categories. The ship has no Oceanview cabins. Most outside accommodations (1438) have private step-out balconies. The ship also has 36 wheelchair-accessible cabins. The largest are the Balcony Suites (470 ft2 / 44 m2 plus 210 ft2 / 20 m2 terrace).

The boat has 18 decks , of which 15 are passenger-accessible and 8 with cabins.

Shipboard dining options - Food and Drinks

There are many for-fee dining options onboard Regal Princess, but guests who would rather not pay are offered enough quality and variety to satisfy. Those who prefer tradition will choose between the three main dining rooms: Allegro, Concerto and Symphony.

Horizon Court and Horizon Bistro are the buffet options, providing a more casual vibe. Passengers who want to have lunch in their swimsuits can take a burger from Trident Grill or a slice at Prego Pizzeria. Indoors, Alfredo's features delicious calzones, salads and thin-crust pizza. Allegro Dining Room is the only option for free dinner with traditional set dining. Passengers can eat at 5:45 p.m. or 8:15 p.m. Allegro's menus are diverse and offer a soup or salad course, an appetizer, pasta and an entree. There is also a special dessert menu.

Follows the complete list of Regal Princess restaurants and food bars.

In April 2024 Princess Cruises announced that starting September 14th (2024) fleetwide would be introduced 3 distinct main dining/dinner table service options – Traditional, Reservable, and Walk-in Anytime. By the new program (introduced with Sun Princess) on each ship are allocated 3 separate dining rooms - one for Traditional dining (offering early and late dinner seating), one with Reservable times, and one for Walk-in Anytime (open-seating). The new options are integrated with the OceanNow service, allowing anything to be ordered anytime, and delivered anywhere onboard.

Shipboard entertainment options - Fun and Sport

The bulk of performance action takes place in Regal's Princess Theater, situated on decks 6 and 7. The theatre features palladium-style seating; it's deep, and if you don't arrive early, you might find yourself in the back, which is far from the stage. However, there aren't any obstacles or bad sightlines.

The show lounge doesn't offer tables or drink holders, so if you order one preshow or come with a drink, you'll have to hold it. The entertainment is excellent and varied, with a beat that is quite innovative. In addition to the production shows, the Princess Theatre hosts other acts including vocalists and instrumentalists.

Follows the complete list of Regal Princess lounges, clubs and other entertainment venues for kids, teens and adults.

Regal Princess Wiki

The shipbuilding order was placed on February 17, 2010. The shipbuilding contract with Fincantieri was signed on May 4, 2010.The vessel's keel was laid down in August 2012. The launch (float-out from drydock at Monfalcone ) was on March 26, 2013. Sea trials were in the Adriatic Sea (April 16-21, 2014). The boat was officially delivered on May 11, 2014.

The 4-day pre-Inaugural Cruise (May 16-20, 2014) was to Kotor Montenegro from Trieste Italy . The itinerary was operated prior to the Maiden Voyage from Venice (May 20, 2014).

Fun facts: It takes 3 million man-hours to build a Royal-class cruise ship. For its construction are used 37,000 tons of steel. For instance, about 12,000 tons of steel were used for constructing the Disney Concert Hall in  Los Angeles . The paint used for the vessel is 95,000 gallons (360,000 L), which is two times more than the quantity consumed for Golden Gate Bridge (re-painted annually). The electrical cables wiring the whole vessel are long 2484 ml (4000 km) which is enough to link  NYC  with  LA .

Regal was Carnival Corporation 's first liner with installed  Ocean Medallion  technology. The ship also hosted the company's largest gambling/slot tournament (USD 200,000) via a partnership with Scientific Games Corporation. The themed "Monopoly Cruise for Cash" onboard casino campaign was offered throughout 2018 (fleetwide). It culminated on the Regal ship in December, during the 7-day Eastern Caribbean cruise (itinerary Dec 9-16) roundtrip from Fort Lauderdale to St Maarten, Princess Cays and St Thomas.

In July 2019, Carnival Corporation placed to the Finnish marine engine producer Wartsila an equipment order for delivery and installation of a waste gasification system on Regal Princess. The technology is based on a self-fuelling thermal decomposition unit that provides safe (and sustainable) disposal of vessel's waste (contaminated, dry-burnable and hazardous materials) which is usually offloaded at seaport facilities. The new gasification system recovers energy from ship's waste heat (produced by thermal destruction) which additionally results in lower green gas emissions and energy savings. The system reduces vessel’s waste to ~5% (of its original volume) and produces a sterilized material (BioChar) which is recycled within the unit as fuel.

The vessel's powerplant includes four Wartsila marine diesel engines (model 46F, 2x 12V and 2x 14V) with combined power output 62,4 MW (83,700 hp). The propulsion system is based on two azipods with combined power output 18 MW (24,000 hp).

The ship has Fincantieri Monfalcone yard/hull number 6224, volume 142714 GT-tons, DWT-deadweight tonnage 12193 tons, LOA length 330 m, beam 38 m (max width 47 m/including the Navigation Bridge's wings), max draught 8,6 m.

Princess cruise activities 2023 daily schedule + Princess Patter + onboard entertainment + journeyview on the app

Every Princess cruise has onboard activities led by the entertainment team of each cruise ship.

Below will show you an example of an entertainment schedule of onboard activities on a Princess cruise!

Of course, your cruise may (will!) vary, but this is just to give you an idea of what kinds of things you can expect, what time you may be able to expect certain activities, and more!

Onboard activities offered on sea days will be different from port days.

Because you will be on a cruise ship all day long, sea days will have more activities throughout the day!

Because most people tend to get off the cruise ship on port days, there will be less activities offered while the cruise ship is in port.

But as soon as the cruise ship has started sailing, you can expect entertainment activities to get started!

You can stay on the cruise ship during port days if you want. It’s not required to get off.

The daily schedule of cruise activities

When you are on a Princess cruise ship, you will get a daily activities schedule every day.

On the first day of the cruise, it will be in your cabin when you arrive.

More of inside a Princess cruise ship cabin: cruise ship bathroom

For the rest of the days of the cruise, a paper version of the schedule will be delivered to you every evening by your stateroom steward (aka housekeeping person).

This daily activities schedule used to officially be called the Princess Patter, although nowadays it’s simply a schedule of “Princess event listings.”

Also on the daily schedule of cruise activities you will find the hours of things around the ship.

The hours of certain things may change based on whether the cruise ship is at sea or in port.

The hours are on the back of the Princess Patter.

More about a Princess cruise:

• Princess cruise food in the dining room
• Princess cruise wifi

Journeyview on the Princess app

Another way you can see what’s going on around the cruise ship is by using your Princess app.

The Princess app can be useful for a number of things, and one of those things is to see the onboard activities schedule!

On the Princess app, the onboard cruise activities will be under “journeyview.”

You may be able to start to see this before you even get on the cruise ship.

While you can look at it before you get on the cruise ship to start to give you an idea, it’s very likely that what you see before you get on the cruise ship in journeyview is not completely updated.

So just keep that in mind.

And if you don’t see something listed that you believe is an activity during every cruise, it could just be that it hasn’t been added yet.

The cruise activities can change even during the cruise, so you can expect that it’s very possible that it can change if you’re looking at it before the cruise.

Bookmarking activities on the Princess app

If you are starting to see cruise activities listed in journeyview, you may notice that it appears that events are “filling up.”

It’s possible to “bookmark” an activity.

But that is all it is.

It is a “bookmark” for your reference.

An event that appears to be filling up just means that many people have shown interest in the activity and have bookmarked it.

It does not mean people are making reservations.

That is not how you make a reservation for any of the activities.

And in fact, you don’t need to make a reservation to attend most activities on a cruise ship.

There may be very special circumstances in which you do need to do something in advance for very special activities, but this is not normal.

In general, even if you see on the Princess app that an event is “full,” you can still show up.

Likewise, you do not need to bookmark an event in order to show up to an activity.

More below for the day-by-day schedule of cruise activities of one Princess cruise ship!

Onboard cruise activities on a Princess cruise ship

This is the Princess Patter from 3 days of a 7-day cruise in May 2023.

There’s embarkation day, a sea day, and a port day.

No 2 cruises will be the same!

While your cruise will be different, you can also make note of the hours in port and hours or various activities around the cruise ship.

Day 1: Embarkation day

See more about what an embarkation day is like:

• Embarkation day in Vancouver

Day 2: Sea day (formal night)

On most cruises, the first formal night will be on the first sea day.

On a 7-day cruise there will usually be 2 formal nights.

Day 3: Port day (6:30am to 2pm)

And those are some cruise activities you may find on a Princess cruise ship!

As of summer 2023, I have spent 43 days on Princess cruise ships this year.

All of the above is based on my experience and understanding! Your experience may vary! Your understanding may vary!

Fodor’s Expert Review

Ship overview.

Ca...s Atlantic

Construction on the Regal Princess began in 2010, and it sailed its inaugural cruise on May 20, 2014. The Regal Princess is one of the bigger and newer ships in Princess’s line of cruise ships, sailing primarily to the Caribbean and around Europe, as well as trans-Atlantic voyages between the United States and Europe. The Regal Princess was one of the ships featured on The Real Love Boat and is the sister ship to the Royal Princess, which is nearly identical. Read More

The heart of the Regal Princess is the multi-deck piazza, located appropriately in the center of the ship. Complete with multiple grand staircases, it’s overlooked by the Ocean Terrace sushi restaurant, Crooner’s Bar, and the shops of Princess. The piazza is a hub for ship activities, including dancing lessons and live music, and is perfect for people-watching.

This ship has everything you need for a relaxed vacation without going over the top. You won’t find a rambunctious dance club or over-the-top activities. You’ll enjoy a spa with a laundry list of services for everybody, hot tubs under the stars, and game shows that will keep you laughing as you sip on the countless drinks that can be delivered right to your seat.

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW

What to expect on board, staterooms & cabins.

Decorated simply in browns, taupes, and creams, the Regal Princess offers four different room types. Interior (without a window), balcony (both standard and deluxe options available), mini-suites, and suites. There are no oceanview cabins, but an impressive 1,438 cabins on the ship have a balcony. The Regal Princess has 50 adjoining staterooms, perfect for friends’ trips or family vacations. Up the ante on your cruising experience by splurging on a balcony room for a particularly relaxing vacation. For those that book a suite, you’ll receive access to a special concierge and lounge, where you can enjoy small bites, drinks, and assistance with dinner reservations, excursions, and anything else you might need.

The Regal Princess has 36 wheelchair-accessible staterooms: seven interior cabins, 22 balcony cabins, six mini-suites, and one full suite. Wheelchair-accessible cabins are spacious enough for full turning in a wheelchair. They have roll-in showers with a fold-down bench seat and grab bars, an accessible desk, and an easy-access closet. While most of the chairs on board have arms, the staff are happy to help swap them out for you. Princess Theatre and Princess Live! Both have pretty narrow seats with immobile arms, but if you choose a seat at the end of the row, you’ll have an armless chair. The spa and cabin offer complimentary robes, but they are one size fits all, which won’t fit you if you’re larger than a size 18.

Food & Drink

The Regal Princess offers countless dining options, both included in the fare and those that come at an additional cost. The buffet at Horizon is open from early to late and has a wide variety of options that changes throughout the day, depending on the meal. Standouts include the rotisserie chicken, crepes, and pork belly roulade. In addition to the three formal dining rooms that serve a rotating multi-course dinner daily, you’ll find sandwiches around the clock in the International Cafe. Pizza, hotdogs, and tacos are available poolside, and Alfredo’s offers Italian food just off the Piazza. 

While known for its steaks, the Crown Grill steakhouse, $29 per person, serves an excellent lobster tail, and the black and blue soup is superb! Sabatini’s serves upscale Italian food, including handmade fresh pasta and seafood, for $25 per person. Be sure to try the Grana Padano cheese fondue and the wine-braised beef cheek pappardelle. 

If you’re a sushi lover, you’re in luck because the onboard sushi restaurant, Ocean Terrace, offers a variety of rolls (for a fee). You may, however, find the sushi to be a little peculiar, with a slightly sweet sauce and rice that isn’t quite right. For a particularly unique dining experience, book a seat at the Chef’s Table Lumiere as soon as you get on board. The multi-course meal is unlike any other on board and a memorable experience. 

Use the MedalianClass app to order a selection of included food and some specialties (for an upcharge) to your room or anywhere else you are relaxing on the ship.

The drinks and bars aboard the Regal Princess are plentiful. Regular coffee, tea, iced tea, and juice are included in the standard cruise fare, while specialty coffees, alcoholic beverages, mocktails, and other drinks are available for purchase aboard or if you purchase a drink package . Zero alcohol and soda packages are available in addition to the alcohol-inclusive Princess Plus and Princess Premier drink packages. In addition to the many bars on board, drinks (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic) can be ordered using the MedallionClass app or with any of the wait staff aboard the Regal Princess.

Entertainment

The daily newsletter you’ll receive the night before in your stateroom will inform you of the following day’s onboard entertainment. There is a wide variety of options, including trivia on subjects like the 70s and classic rock. Be sure to attend the staff-produced game shows (and get there early for a seat!) for an hour of belly-rolling laughter as contestants play a variety of games for the crowd’s amusement. You’ll find plenty of shopping opportunities on board, along with a Vegas-style casino. You’ll also find daily bingo, Deal or No Deal, and other entertainment by the casino for an extra fee. There’s a variety of other entertainment, including live music, friendly competitions, comedy shows, magicians, dance lessons, fruit carving demonstrations and much more.

Spa & Fitness

Relaxation is the name of the game on a cruise, and with the comprehensive offerings at the Lotus Spa, it’s easy to do. The spa offers all the typical treatments like massages, body scrubs, and facials, as well as medical spa offerings under the supervision of the on-staff doctor. Spa treatments booked in advance of the cruise garner hefty discounts, while services booked on board come at full price. The Enclave, located in the spa, is where you can enjoy a full thermal suite with a hydrotherapy pool and jets, a Caldarium, and a Hammam , at an additional fee. Additionally, you’ll find a full salon on board the Regal Princess, where you can get your hair cut and styled, manicures, pedicures, and other services. 

There are several pools onboard for those that like to swim, although later in the day, laps are difficult due to the number of people enjoying them. The Lotus Spa fitness center allows you to work out on your own or hire a personal trainer, or take an exercise class, including pilates and TRX suspension training. Some fitness classes may require a small upcharge for passengers with a standard fare.

Key cruising tips

Health & safety.

There are no vaccination or testing requirements for cruising on the Regal Princess. Princess has rolled out “TrulyTouchless™” services, including touchless payment, safety training in your stateroom, and digital entertainment. Medical-grade disinfectant is used to clean public areas and staterooms, with sanitizer and hand washing stations throughout the ship.

During the day, resort wear is appropriate. Most evenings, the dress code on the Regal Princess is smart casual, dresses, slacks, blouses, blazers, and button-down shirts. On formal nights, the dress code is more elevated, with recommended formal attire including evening gowns, cocktail dresses, dark pant suits, tuxedos, etc., although it’s not strictly observed.

Junior Cruisers

Princess might not be specifically designed for families with young children, but that doesn’t mean that programs and services aren’t available, just in a slightly more limited fashion. Children ages 3-7 will enjoy the Treehouse, with pajama movie nights, Animal Planet puppets, and a Lego boat-building contest.  The Lodge is for kids ages 8-12, with talent shows, dancing, and competitions, while teens, ages 13-17, will enjoy the Beach House.

The service aboard the Regal Princess is simply fantastic. The wait staff are attentive, the room steward thorough, and the spa staff kind and welcoming. Room service via the MedallionClass app allows food, drink, and necessities like hangers to be delivered to your room or anywhere else on board with just a few clicks.

Princess Cruises charges a daily gratuity rate based on the cabin booked on a per-person basis. As of February 20, 2023, $16 for interior and balcony cabins, $17 for Mini-Suites, and $18 for Suites. Additional gratuity is not required, although many guests tip their room steward and other staff on top of the daily gratuity. Cash gratuity is recommended when on excursions, although there’s no specific amount required.

Regal Princess Review

Regal Princess is unmistakably elegant, accomplishing something mainstream cruise ships occasionally struggle with: finding a balance between fun and refinement. The decor is comfortable, with warm tones and plenty of wood and marble. The Piazza, a hallmark of the line, is truly grand; it's large, encompasses three decks and has three bold spiral staircases. At night, it's where you'll want to spend your time watching people, listening to music or sipping cocktails.

Regal Princess is a near twin of fleetmate Royal Princess, so it has mostly the same features. These include the SeaWalk , a cantilevered glass walkway that juts out from the Lido Deck, allowing passengers to take in unobstructed views of the sea below. It's a fun touch, though it loses its appeal after you've taken the walk once. Editor's Tip: For a fun photo, station one person on the promenade on Deck 7, directly below the SeaWalk. Have the model look up to the SeaWalk and wave. Snap a pic looking down through the SeaWalk.

When Royal Princess debuted, passengers complained that two staples on the lines' other ships were lacking: the aft pool and the promenade deck. In response, Princess made changes to get versions of those on Regal Princess, with some success. The aft pool is a solid, though small, addition to Regal Princess, but the promenade still misses the mark. It doesn't wrap the ship like a true promenade; instead, it comprises two outdoor decks -- one portside, the other starboard side -- that are only accessible by cutting through the ship.

A highlight onboard is the food, which we enjoyed in most venues. The buffet offers tremendous variety, with many options for international palates, and the for-fee restaurants -- specifically Sabatini's and Crown Grill -- are reasonably priced. Still, those who don't want to pay have enough options that they won't feel slighted. Conversely, those who want to splurge on the Chef's Table and the Winemaker's dinner will likely feel as if it was money well spent.

Regal Princess is part of Princess' Medallion Class of ships , which makes use of the innovative OceanMedallion . The system includes a wearable OceanMedallion, which is used to make purchases and automatically unlock your cabin door when you approach it. It also involves a robust smartphone app that lets passengers send messages and locate each other on the ship, as well as navigate their way to onboard venues. You can also use it to order food, drinks and other retail items to other location, such as your poolside deck chair.

While this new technology represents a major evolution for the line, Princess fans will still find the things they love about the line onboard this ship. The overall vibe is relaxing and fun -- exactly what you want a vacation to be.

Fellow Passengers

Passengers tend to be a solid mix of older and younger couples, as well as families, which are more prevalent during the summer and holiday seasons and while Regal Princess sails the Caribbean. While many passengers are North Americans, Europeans and Asians do sail the line, especially during Regal Princess' European sailings. When the ship is Down Under, the passenger base skews heavily in favor of Australians and New Zealanders with Japanese, Chinese and Korean cruisers heavily represented.

Regal Princess Dress Code

Daytime: During the day, casual is the name of the game, with shorts, swimsuits and flip-flops the norm.

Evening: In the evening, passengers wear resort-casual attire. For men, that generally means khakis or slacks and button-down or collared shirts. Women wear dresses or skirts, capris or slacks and blouses. On formal nights, evening attire is the standard. For men, that includes suits (jackets optional) and slacks or the occasional tuxedo. Women wear cocktail or evening gowns or formal pantsuits. Cruises of four days or fewer won't have formal nights, but those with five or six days will feature one formal night; seven- to 13-day sailings will have two formal nights; and voyages of 14 to 20 days will feature three formal nights.

Not permitted: In the dining rooms, items such as shorts, pool wear, distressed jeans and baseball caps are not permitted; shoes must be worn at all times.

Hannah Waddingham Shares This 'Beautiful Honor' with Princess Diana, Kate Middleton: 'Pinch Me' (Exclusive)

The ‘Ted Lasso’ star opened up to PEOPLE about being named Godmother of Princess Cruises’ newest and biggest ship ever, the Sun Princess

Hannah Waddingham is following in the footsteps of a few famous royals in her newest role.

The Ted Lasso star has officially been named Godmother of Princess Cruise Line 's new Sun Princess ship following its maiden voyage in February, PEOPLE can exclusively reveal. As part of the cruising tradition , the actress will take on the responsibility of “christening” the new ship with luck as it embarks on its many voyages across the high seas. 

Waddingham tells PEOPLE exclusively how meaningful it is to be the ship’s Godmother, especially because of the women who also share the same title.

“I couldn’t believe I have been asked to be a ship Godmother, having grown up around boats all my life and my grandfather was in the Atlantic Convoy in the Navy,” says the actress, who next stars in The Fall Guy . “To be asked to be a part of this beautiful honor is a ‘pinch me’ moment.”

She continues: “I am also honored to be in the esteemed company with previous Godparents to Princess Ships including Diana , Princess of Wales, Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales Kate Middleton , Audrey Hepburn , Martha Stewart , and many others.” 

The Emmy-nominated actress adds that a big “privilege and pleasure” for her as Godmother is sending the 4,300 guests that the ship can hold “on their way safely with a big hug.”

The Hannah Waddingham: Home for Christmas actress has recently been celebrating a raucous awards season with her Ted Lasso co-stars after the beloved show's third season concluded  last May. Asked which character would be the biggest cruiser in real life, Waddingham says Ted ( Jason Sudeikis ) is the perfect fit. 

“I think Ted would be the biggest cruiser,” she says, adding that “his positive, warm, loving, can-do attitude” would thrive on the getaway and calls out "trivia in Princess Live" and "Spellbound by Magic Castle" as experiences the ever-optimistic soccer coach would easily get on board with.

The next potential cruise lover that comes to mind for Waddingham is Keely, played by Juno Temple , thanks to her “positive and warm disposition,” she says. 

She adds that the stars of the hit Apple TV+ sports comedy would be the best company on any group vacation — especially on a cruise. 

“Anywhere the cast of Ted Lasso goes, we would have the best kind of party! We would all be down for a party on a beautiful ship. We love each other so much we would have fun being trapped together in an elevator,” she jokes.  

The Sun Princess officially set sail on its 10-day maiden voyage through the Mediterranean on Feb. 28. The massive ship, which weighs 177,882 tons, departed from Rome and made stops in Naples; Crete, Greece; Kusadasi, Turkey; Athens; Sicily; Mallorca; and Barcelona.
