Regal Princess

Pool Deck Attractions: The main pool is outfitted with fountains that, at night, perform cool water-and-light shows. It's also home to Movies Under the Stars.

Lotus Spa: The spa gets prime real estate in the center of the ship, and there are Couples Villas for side-by-side massages. The Enclave is equipped with a hydrotherapy pool, steam room, and sauna, as well as a pair of heated water beds that are downright heavenly. (A fee applies, even when you book treatments.)

Alfredo's: The pizzeria serves hand-tossed, thin-crust individual pies that are the best you'll find at sea. For a free Neapolitan-style pizza fix, guests can also grab it by the slice on the Lido Deck’s Prego Pizzeria.

The Piazza: The center of the ship is this atrium, an elegant, three-deck space with grand staircases, theatrical balconies, and water fountains. It's the ship's hub — a place to eat, drink, watch performers, see, and be seen.

Couples and Singles: The nightlife scene won't keep you dancing into the wee hours, but there's still plenty of entertainment.

Multigenerational Families: Kids are entertained in indoor and outdoor play areas, and teens even get their own pool. Youngsters who can pull themselves away from the video games will find they can play old-fashioned Skee-Ball.

Upgrading Your Dinners Adds Up: Dinner in the dining room isn't particularly memorable and you'll need to pay a specialty restaurant dining fee for the best food on the ship. Highlights: Dinner at Sabatini's Italian Trattoria and a la carte oysters at the Ocean Terrance seafood bar.
