Regal Princess
5
This was our first cruise following Lockdowns and all the restrictions. There are so many conditions to travel now that holidays are hard work. We joined Regal Princess, our Princess cruise. In Southampton at the start of half term week. Travelling to La Verdon, Bilbao and La Coruna. With 3 sea days in the cruise.
Once we had completed all the paperwork and the now extensive testing process.. that stepping on board feeling is all sweeter !!
We could not fault any aspect of our cruise. The staff are working hard within guidelines to keep everyone safe. From the cabin stewards to bar staff, waiting staff to maintenance. Everyone is going beyond to make our holidays the best possible. Yes there are distinctive differences between cruises before the pandemic and the cruise experience now. We just have to be grateful with the new excellence.
Our dining experience whether it was in the MDR or select restaurants was faultless. Great menus with seasonal goodies and local favourites too.
Shore excursions covered all the interests of those on board. We stayed locally in La Verdon and returned to the ship and made full use of the on boards facilities including the Spa.
Taking part in a guided walking tour in Bilbao and an amazing beer factory tour at Mega in La Coruna. Shore tours were well organised and great value. Every part of our cruise was excellent.
