I spoke to many fellow passengers both during and after the cruise and apart from the usual litany of petty complaints and genuine grievances there was a common theme of which Regent had better take urgent note. We were told this maiden voyage of "the most luxurious ship in the world" would be truly special and memorable and worth every cent of the considerable price we paid for the privilege of being there. It was neither. It was just another cruise, albeit on a brand new ship (with many ongoing "issues"). In fact the ship was/is nowhere near finished and Regent put little or no thought or effort into making the maiden voyage special or memorable and we are very disappointed and angry at Regents apparent indifference because Lord knows they were made well aware of its loyal and longstanding customers' unhappiness in the mid cruise questionnaire and discussions with the hotel manager and others. This was our 7th Regent cruise and probably our last.
Liked:
- spacious cabins with plenty of storage and the comfortable bed facing the window/view.
