We love Regent and this is our second cruise on Explorer. We are frequent cruisers and have cruised with other high end cruise lines and Regent is our favorite, hands down. The ship has a outstanding and beautiful art and glass collection and is decorated with luxury at every turn. It is truly gorgeous! Please see my note on cabin review for Suites 700, 800, 900.
The staff from the janitors, maintenance etc are always smiling and greet you with Good Morning etc. The wait staff is exemplary. I can't say enough about the staff on Regent Explorer!
The entertainment could use a little more pizzaz for a ship of this caliber but I'm confident that will come as it matures a little.
The title of my review "beware of cabins 700, 800, 900 because being on the bow, there is limited sight corridor. You have to stand to see the ocean. We nor our travel agent were advised of this when booking.
The Penthouse Suites are very spacious with large showers with multiple shower heads and double vanity. The living area, bar and bedroom is separated by pocket doors.
