The food was far below our previous experiences as far as the choice of the menus, the quality of the prepared food and the description/naming of the dishes, such as using names that didn't reflect the expected dish with the corresponding name. the buffet also could use some improvement as the products were not as fresh as expected.
Also, some products such as bananas or plain oil(for ...
After my 5 cruise in 12 month , Encore was my first time , its bit larger than the quest or odyssey but that means there is better shows and 600 pax , si I like to point out that the food was exceptional better than the 4 previous crises with seabourn , perhaps the area and quality of all the ingredients. in Asia myght have a role , the fruits on board where all incredible specially the water ...
Just off Navigator last week. We are moderately experienced cruisers (~24 total), though this is our first Regent since the old Radisson Diamond in 1997.
We enjoyed the cruise, especially the excellent service and staff, both in the cabins and in the dining venues. There are always some glitchy times in dining, and this was no exception, as Christmas Day simply overwhelmed the ship's ability to ...
We chose Regent for my husband's 70th birthday celebration. We spent a lot of money on this, but having sailed with Regent years ago (pre-NCL) we believed that we would get the ultra-luxurious experience we were paying for. We did not. There is little point in repeating everything related by previous reviewers - we completely agree that the ship is too old, noisy and cramped to be described as ...
Oceania bills itself as luxury cruising with gourmet dining. It misses both those marks by lack of attention to the details that separate luxury from everyday. The very first impression is when you are checked in. Instead of entering into a beautiful lobby, you are herded into the back door by the Regatta Lounge. Instead of actually going into the lounge, a staff member briefs a group on the life ...
This was our first cruise with Oceania and a small ship. It was great we could stop at places that larger ships do not visit.
Staff and food were really excellent, but the entertainment was not as good or varied as a bigger ship can provide.
Our cabin was on Level 7 (A1Concierge Veranda) and it was disappointing to discover our hand basin was cracked, the soap dish was badly chipped and then ...
This was my very first ocean cruise. I had specific requirements in my search for the right cruise. I wasn’t interested in a party atmosphere with loud disco music, I wanted to avoid children running around the ship, and I wasn’t interested in spending time with gambling or casinos. I wanted a cruise with diverse dining options in restaurants that didn’t require me to become best friends with a ...
My partner and I chose this cruise based on Oceania's tag line "Best cuisine in the sea", or words to that effect.
Twenty days on the ship and it was downhill from day two. The problem was the food. It was not just us, but practically every other passenger we spoke to,
We have cruised on other lines, Cunard, Celebrity, Holland America, Windstar and have never been disappointed with the ...
Beautiful ship with lovely staff and excellent food but the entertainment fell short of what we’ve experienced with Regent on past cruises.
Constant changes to the entertainment programme. They repeated performances and also made numerous cancellations.
This was a 17 day cruise with no deck parties and there appeared to be a lack of direction from the cruise director and his wife. The ...
First time with Regent. Lovely ship and great cruise from Bali to Sydney. Cyclone went thru Cairns so all excursions cancelled at that port. Downgraded to category 1 so we really had no effects while at sea. Have cruised over a dozen times with others lines, first time with Regent. Nicest and largest room ever, plenty of storage, great room service except when we had to quarantine for 12 ...
