Testimonials

I�d like to also express my heartfelt appreciation to Sonya for the safe and truly memorable trip we enjoyed. Our expert guides were knowledgeable and entertaining, which enriched each stop along our journey. A highlight was our Salzburg guide, Peter, who is a descendant of the Von Trapp family. He brought an authentic perspective to the �Sound of Music� stories�his entertaining anecdotes revealed just how much Hollywood added its own flair to the tale. Our transportation was flawless, with drivers who were always punctual and professional, ensuring that everything ran smoothly. Sonya, I can�t thank you enough for orchestrating such an exceptional travel experience; these cherished family memories will stay with us for a lifetime.

Thank you, Kerrie for an amazing experience. Everything went well, from the fishing trip to the dining in different restaurants every night. As well as the unexpected experiences that you don�t pay for made this trip truly amazing.

No fish we�re caught so I guess that�s why it�s �fishing� versus �catching�. But it was fun and worth booking again if an Alaskan cruise comes up again.

The dining experience, of course, was amazing, the downfall was with certain restaurants. The menu was sort of pre-selected for those that had the package. The Japanese sushi place was a predetermined meal, arranged how the establishment wanted you to eat, versus ordering favorites that you�re used to. Yes, there was an � la cart menu with pricing, that was not part of the dining package, interesting to say the . Other restaurants had a predetermined choice selection but then an up charge on other menu items, which I thought was weird. The steakhouses were great., butcher block did not have a menu per se, but an order of how they brought you the meal. it was sort of like a Brazilian restaurant in the sense that they carve the meat and put it on your plate but, different where the selection was their choice versus you choosing, again different experience. Crown Grill, very good and as I always know what to expect meat cooked to perfection. Same goes to Sabatini completely know what to expect and had a great meal.

As for the experiences you don�t pay for, winning a voucher in my favorite jewelry store spending more than I should�ve 😉, also winning at the casino helped as well.

OK, here�s a stupid question,? Princess gives vouchers for certain things if you book your next cruise, but what if you�ve already booked a cruise, as you know in March of next year could those vouchers be used on that cruise or is it specifically vouchers for �future booked cruises�? - Maybe I should call Princess, but I thought I would ask you first.

Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you!!! we will talk soon about March.

2026 Japan Trip 5/31/2026 � 6/6/2026
Travel Advisor, Nicole Caballero arrange the trip based on my list and her suggestions to create the perfect number of tours per day and type of tours that made it exciting for both parents and children as well as free time for shopping, trips to visit Pok�mon Centers and Disneyland. There were a few concerns about whether they would enjoy the tea ceremony, kimono wearing, the rickshaw experience around town, and even the zoo. But my family enjoyed every one of them with their wonderful, cherished experiences.

Nicole patiently helped me work on an awesome itinerary on a short notice going through my �wish list� of things I wanted my family to experience in Japan. She also provided me with guidance on what to expect, to pack, and share with my family. She even provided a detailed handbook of our Japan trip including our flight information, hotel information and tour schedules, as well as things to know and Japan etiquette. We had time to go over these with our families and found that we had more understanding of Japan�s efficiency, culture, and history before going to Japan.

Guide, Ms. Yoshiko Miyajima, and Driver, Mr. Ryo, were very instrumental in making our tour extraordinary. They skillfully coordinated our trip, keeping us on track for each daily tour. Ms. Miyajima provided us with descriptions and history of things we saw along the way as well as each tour visit.

Thank you so much Regal Travel!!!

Our Norway tour was excellent! We were so fortunate to have had excellent weather throughout our tour, sunny, clear skies and warmer than anticipated. Our Globus tour guide was excellent, very knowledgeable and attentive. The Bergen train ride was worth it. We had a great time with all, especially with David and Nalani Sing from Hilo. We would recommend this tour to any interested travelers.

Hi Sonya! I am soooo glad to have finally made it to Alaska!! I am loving it thus far!! The scenery is gorgeous, weather brisk and a nice change, natives friendly, food good. Everything has gone smoothly for us .

We are jazzed with our spacious mini suite upgrade, drink and wifi packages, and dinner coupon to Bistro sur La Mer. Thank you very much. We are happy happy happy 😃 to be reunited with some of our long lost Regal family, the Hamadas and Takahashis.

The ship is about 1/4 full, 1600 passengers, so our waiter told us at breakfast. It�s weird but kinda nice in a way to not have to fight crowds. Food selection is a bit limited, but we can understand why.

The cruise last week to Alaska was fantastic! The weather was unusually good which made the glacier viewing spectacular. And the Norwegian Encore was better than the Norwegian Joy, in our opinion! For anyone considering a cruise before the cruise lines ramp up capacity, now is the time! Our ship was at 50% capacity, so no lines and stellar service.

The Lee's have returned from a wonderful cruise including our pre- and post- stays. We're back physically, but our body clocks have not adjusted back to normal.....sure gets harder as we age.

Thank you for all your assistance having the Pocket Travel and Axus Apps were really helpful with reminders, especially our flights. Oceania did a good job with their covid safety protocols --- antigen testings, masking and hand-sanitizing. We were told the ship only had 500 passengers, and before our cruise, it was only 300. In a way it was really nice in that we had all the attention from the staff. At the Terrace Grill, staff continuously offered to carry our plates to our tables; what a nice gesture. Next time, it may be harder to find a table. And, finding a seat on the excursion buses was easy. It may have also been good for the guides, since they didn't have to keep track of that many people.

The day before our departure, Intercontinental Lisbon brought in a nurse to the hotel who provided PCR tests to us and others from the cruise, with the results emailed to us that midnight.

Again, many many thanks for your help !
P.S. It was refreshing not having to wear masks in Norway and Sweden.

Aloha Sonya,
Maintain that positive attitude and stay negative for Coronavirus. We are grateful to be at home during this pandemic. My friend was deployed to NYC in March, then sent to SanDiego and Great Lakes (Chicago). What an adventure!
We stay home except for trips to the grocery store and Costco. I believe that you are correct, the virus will be around for at least another year. If we�re still masked up in October 2021, we may need your help in postponing our Viking cruise, but we�ll wait and see.
All of the best to you and Ray. Let us know if we can be of help to you.

Hi Nicole and Shufen, Got back last night from the Best of Britain CIE Tour. It was such a fabulous tour. So much to see and do but not enough time so I have to go back again. Harry Gray, our CIE Tour Director, was the greatest. He gave us so much information and history and also allowed us shopping time and time to wander around the towns on our own. I just loved his British humor. In fact, all of the guides had such wonderful dry humor. The only down side was doing the bus tours, I wasn�t able to get good photos of a lot of the sights we visited. The weather was wonderful and it only drizzled the last day in London and rained hard on the day we left.

Aloha Mike,
You cannot imagine how often your name came up on our travels. It was always "he's done it again" or "he knocked out of the park" or "he's amazing". Everything you did for us was beyond belief. The hotels were magical. The connections were perfect. If ever there were a reason to believe in travel agents you are it. My sincere gratitude for a trip that could never have been were it not for you.

As for the Orient Express, it was unbelievable. Such attention to detail and luxury. The new movie was not actually filmed on the train. They told us how it was reproduced in a studio with outdoor vistas, etc. However the movie made with David Suchet as part of his Hercule Poriot series was done entirely on the train. And there you will see just what we experienced. The corridors are very narrow, the compartments tight, the trek to the toilettes a bit inconvenient and the 1920 train cars have a bit more motion than those of today (I gave up on mascara). But I would do it again in a heartbeat. Champagne and lobster for breakfast is wild. And so is there special cocktail the "Guilty 12".

We have memories to last a lifetime. Thank you!

Aloha Shufen & Jennifer
Hope you are feeling better. My mom and I just wanted to say thank you for making all the arrangements for our Hokkaido cruise a successful one. The wheelchair porter at the airport was such a huge help in transporting my mother on and off the plane in Japan as well as on our return flight off into HNL airport. The hotel you booked at Yokohama perfect location looking onto the bay and nearby amusement park. The Diamond Princess staff service overall was very exceptional and the shore excursion guides were very attentive to the members in our group (ie. Toilet breaks and keeping our group together). Hokkaido was very breathtaking in the fall and we thoroughly enjoyed the delicious fresh seafood!!!! Many thanks again!!!!
Much appreciation, Patricia and mom

Just a quick note to let you know we all returned safe and sound and with an experience of a lifetime on the beautiful Rhine. Our fun and camaraderie was only made possible because of Harolyn and her skill and responsibility!! We were so lucky to have her escort us through the Rhine countries. Thank you both for all your help. I�m looking forward to the next opportunity for travel for me.

Both my husband and I love traveling with Regal Travel escorted tours. We recently completed a trip with Ray and Sonya to Portugal and Spain. The Miyashiros kept tabs on us and when we encountered some problems on tours we had signed up for, took immediate action to get us compensation for a delayed tour. They also rearranged speciality dinner reservations for some of the group members.

We recently returned from a Danube Christmas Market river cruise on AMA. Sonya highly encouraged us to go to the night Christmas Market which I was not to excited about. Well, based on her encouragement I went. It was one of the highlights of the trip. I am so grateful that I went. Seeing the Christmas Markets at night was awesome. Thank you Sonya for some great memories.

We had a fantastic trip. Stayed at the Best Western at Incheon and Asiana also provided a meal. We were impressed with Viking. They were very efficient, the tour escort did a excellent job and the food on the ship was great. We also enjoyed all the Chinese meals at the different restaurants and the hotels were beautiful. We got to see so much of China on the tours and the cruise was nice. Everything went very well.

We love traveling with the Regal group! We have made so many friends through our Regal travels as a result of Ray and Sonya creating an inclusive environment. Regal lives up to my favorite saying: It's not where you travel but who you travel with!"
