The Regal Princess is a first for us, and first impressions are STRONG! Watch as we wake up to the ship right outside our Hilton Marina window, navigate Princess's new assigned boarding time system, and discover whether this older Princess ship hits the sweet spot between Jerry's beloved Island Princess style and Jill's favourite Enchanted Princess. Nuggets WITH barbecue sauce appear within the first hour (Holland America, take notes!), an obstructed balcony turns out to be barely obstructed at all with an extra-large angled layout, and Princess surprises us with access to the Reserve Collection dining for the week - elevated service, gorgeous spacing, and a chef's special grilled shrimp that has Jill raving.
