"The not so good:
A re-occurring smell of sewage on Deck 8 and a weak toilet flush.The food in the Compass Rose was exceptional with very good ingredients well prepared and presented, and always served hot...."Read More

1-10 of 13 Regent Seven Seas Mariner Cruise Reviews for Fitness to Europe - Western Mediterranean from Barcelona
We chose this cruise to experience Regent for the first time. We have cruised quite a bit with Royal Caribbean, Celebrity and Crystal (before it failed). We thought we would get excellence and we’re so disappointed about so many things. We love good food but found it hard to get a good meal on this cruise. We were forced to eat earlier than we usually do for dinner to avoid a 30 minute wait for a ...
We boarded in Barcelona for a Transatlantic cruise to New York before continuing to Montreal. Although comfortable the ship is looking its age with a surprising amount of silicone apparent in the cabin, and once you see that your eye is of course drawn to other deficiencies, of which there are many.
To summarise: The good:
All the staff were happy, courteous and obliging. To name a few, our ...
We've been interested in trying Regent for some time, and this itinerary caught our eyes as it covered some lesser-visited ports we wanted to see. One thing I hadn't realized is that Mariner was ending the World Cruise in Barcelona immediately prior to our cruise; I think the fact that a large block of the staff turned over in Barcelona (and maybe a few of the others had gotten settled in a ...
We thought Regent Seven Seas was a "premium" cruise line. It's not. From the first day there were problems. In our cabin, we tried to turn on the tv to see the safety information. The tv didn't work, so we tried to call someone to fix the tv. The phone didn't work either.
One night we turned on the bathroom faucet and muddy, dirty water came out and didn't clear up until the next day ...
These are some sad experiences on this year’s July cruise.
The butler appeared to be under extreme pressure at times and here are just some of the issues:
iPad. We asked whether we could have some music in our suite and he said that iPads were not available however two days later he delivered one to us.
We asked for some videos and he told us they were available at reception. The ...
This was our second cruise on Regent, but our first on Mariner. We went to the Baltic last year on Voyager, and enjoyed it so much that we bought a future cruise certificate. We chose to use it on this 10 day Barcelona roundtrip because of the itinerary. It concentrated on the Riviera, and went to a lot of places that we haven't seen before (Antibes, St. Tropez, Portofino, Sardinia and Corsica). ...
I just sailed the Seven Seas Mariner. My husband and I sailed the western Mediteranean with our two young adult sons to celebrate their successful completion of undergraduate university degrees. As a family, we have cruised many times previously but always with 5 star lines such as Holland America and Celebrity. With few hitches here or there, we were always happy with the cruise experience. This ...
This cruise line gets it right...
We started with 2 extra days in Barcelona after a wonderful Business class flight from Miami. The Hilton Diagonal Mar was very nice, but checkin was a bit messy...after waiting for 30+ minutes I was told by the girl behind the counter that I could have gone to the 15th floor and skipped the line since I was on the executive levels. I was not too happy to hear ...
Baroque Bliss - Seven Seas Mariner, 23-29 August 2013
My wife & I chose this our 25th cruise but our first six star cruise to celebrate our Ruby wedding anniversary & her 60th birthday but wish we hadn't bothered & were left bitterly disappointed. The ship is tired & fatigued & badly in need of a refit with stained carpets in public areas. Our cabin, whist spacious, had chipped wooden cabinetry, ...
I will try not to be too long, but I wanted to submit a thorough review for all those that are considering a first Regent cruise. There are some things I didn't know but wish I had, and I also want to review the ports and excursions as most were very enjoyable.
First, we booked directly through Regent. Our experience was less than we expected from a luxury line who promised great service--just ...
