First impressions were very positive. Smooth embarkation and the welcome glass of champagne was gratefully received! Having read comments posted previously our first port of call once on board was to the gym to book into classes for the next day. Sailaway was quiet compared to other cruises I have been on, but I put this down to folk being in their cabins enjoying the champagne! Age profile for this cruise was definitely retired plus, which I knew would be the case prior to booking. At times I felt like an extra in Cocoon!but having said that I have never met so many determined,interesting and vibrant people. Zip lining with a group all in their seventies is one highlight! As a first time Regent cruiser I came onboard with high expectations and these were delivered. We particularly enjoyed the all inclusive aspect - not having to sign for every drink etc. Our $500 onboard credit was difficult to spend, but we managed! There is vibration at times, but she is a small ship and this is inevitable. It didn't disturb me or ruin my enjoyment in any way.

The Panama Canal crossing was amazing. The deck party in Acupulco is something I will never forget - what a back drop! Sailing into San Francisco under the Golden Gate Bridge shrouded in mist at 5.30 in the morning was magical and a fitting end to what was a brilliant cruise. Would I cruise with Regent again - yes definitely!

Excursions: There has been much debate now that these are included in the overall price. Those we went on were all good, some better than others, but all good. The quality of the guides did vary but all the trips were enjoyable. Beach horse riding in Cabo San Lucas,Mexico was breathtaking. Zip lining in Puerto Vallarta hilarious, mountain biking in Huatulco surreal. The lengths they went to to ensure our safety (quad bike out rider complete with flag, stopping the traffic)were first class

Cabin Review

Penthouse Suite

Cabin C

Very spacious. Huge walk in closet. Large bathroom with separate shower cubicle.Balcony smaller than imagined, but it was adequate and the views great. Butler service for us was a novelty and if I could get a cabin in the right location I probably would give it a miss next time. Being forward in the ship and high up we did feel movement and motion when the seas were rough.
