We were disappointed with the cruise from Vancouver to Tokyo, for it lacked the five star quality that we were expecting. We have been on over 20 cruises, and in certain areas-like the internet and excursions-it was by far the worse of any cruise. Perhaps Regent is now a three star line.
I will start with The Good. The food ranged from good to excellent, with the specialty restaurants and ...
We chose this cruise because our travel agent talked up the service. What a disappointment! First our return business class air is a disaster. We will have over 12 hours in Vancouver with a red eye to Newark then a five hour layover to get to Philadelphia. We could drive to Philly from Newark faster. For the price of the cruise we shouldn’t have to pay an up charge to get these crappy flights ...

Ship: Silver Whisper

Note: This would have been a five-star review had it not been for the Denali land package
Booking: We booked the Door-to-Door cruise in a deluxe veranda suite through ...
I have cruised Regent almost exclusively for several years. Their level of service, their food quality, and excursions have all declined in quality. I am not sure if this is due to the economy, the fact that Norwegian Cruise Lines is losing money, shortages of staff, or cost-cutting measures.
We sailed the subject itinerary. At first, we were given economy air that arrived in Anchorage at ...

This was our first time cruising on Cunard. We did a Viking Eastern Mediterranean cruise in October 2022 and it is still fresh in our memory. On a scale of 10, Cunard was at least 3 notches down from Viking. I would rate the Viking cruise as 8/10 and Cunard as 5/10. Mind you there is a price difference to consider. We have also done cruises on Azamara, Holland America and Celebrity. Our Cunard ...
I chose the cruise because my previous Oceania experiences on Marina and Riviera were outstanding. Although I knew Regatta was smaller, the room and veranda were fine and the cabin team was top notch. Storage and decor were great - others have noted the small bath so that was expected. Note upgrades do not mean larger rooms. It’s true that the beds which are insanely comfortable are about 2 ...
We chose this cruise because it’s supposed to be 6 star luxury & also includes the excursions. Boarding the cruise was seamless & impressive. Suites & ship are beautiful. Service in main restaurants was slow & inconsistent. It seemed everyone was new & inexperienced except a handful which were good. Food was average. We asked for soy milk in the breakfast restaurant & the first 4 days they said ...
A-lot of money for a average cruise, service was mediocre room's we're small for the premium price we paid. The butler was scarce had to track him down pretty much everyday. Food was excellent with plenty of choices but make reservations early, the restaurants are small. Big down side had to be back on boat before 3:30 every day so limited time for excursions. Do your do diligence, this was sold ...
My husband and I signed up for the Regatta cruise round trip out of Los Angeles. We’d sailed Celebrity in the Mediterranean and to Alaska twenty years ago and enjoyed those trips but weren’t yearning to cruise again. We’d heard from friends who sailed before the pandemic that Oceania had phenomenal food and wine service. Instead, we got great food at several meals, but mostly it was something I’d ...
