This was our first cruise with Regent and our first cruise on a 'Luxury Cruise Line' prior to this we had done over 400 days of cruising on Princess and other supposedly next level down cruise lines.•
Regent is touted as the top of the line in luxury cruising. However, I must say our experience is that they are not.
The service levels were very poor compared to other supposedly lower ...
We were under the impression that Regent was a luxury cruise line and we wanted to try it .Oh what a mistake that was
We tried to be positive but found the food very hit or miss throughout the ship,we never truly experienced a really memorable meal
The poor service was clearly down to poorly trained and shortage of staff
The excursions provided by Regent that we booked on were an absolute ...
First time Regent clients here and thoroughly disappointed. The Penthouse suite we stayed in was very nice, but also tired. The Butler service overhyped and unnecessary in our opinion - just canapés delivered daily and a mini bar also topped up daily - only it wasn’t and required reminders. The vast majority of their waiting staff and all of the housekeeping teams were fabulous. The reception ...
I wanted to celebrate our 40th anniversary with a “bucket list” trip for my wife – something she has been wanting to do since she was child - which was a trip to Japan.
We chose Regent for this itinerary and more importantly, the shore excursions, based on our prior experience with them cruising Alaska, and Greece & Turkey. The previously experienced shore excursions were educational, ...
We chose Regent because of reputation, word-of-mouth, travel agent recommendation and I wanted to do something special for my wife's 70th.
Our strongest possible advice if you are considering Regent for your next sailing is to look at anyone else first - particularly perhaps Silversea or any other decent line.
Regent are a thing of the past.
Dreadful pre-cruise organization of travel and ...
My sister and I wanted to visit Istanbul on the newer RSS Splendor, so we were very happy that we made it to the Turkish ports of Istanbul and Izmir, which were the reasons for booking this itinerary.
It was my sister's 1st cruise, and she loves cruising now!
I have sailed Regent, Oceania, and WindStar with husband and loved all voyages, but this was a girl's getaway.
Pre-cruise, we ...
This was our second cruise on the Navigator this year, a special offer advertised in July for an Eastern Mediterranean itinerary with several new ports was too good to miss. Our trip was just a few weeks after the ship’s visit to the dry dock and the external paintwork looked pristine. It was more difficult to see what they had done to the interiors but everything looked in good condition. Reviews ...
That’s the sound of our hopes and dreams crashing…we had anticipated this trip for several years. Regents promises (taken from its website” exquisite meals, refined service and exhilarating shore excursions” but we found it was anything but.
The rooms in the boat are very nice, but that’s where the luxury stops. The food was not up to standard and the tours were not well thought out; it ...
We anticipated this cruise that was years in the planning. It was postponed several times due to Covid . Finally, on the fourth attempt at booking this "bucket list" travel event, we succeeded in getting aboard what was touted as an upscale ship rated a 10 for its culinary excellence. Indeed, when we entered our cabin, we were struck by its elegance and cleanliness.
The Regents was a ...
We have recently returned from a 10 night cruise on Regent Seven Seas Navigator (450 pax). We are a Brit/Dutch couple aged 53/60 and have sailed with various other cruise lines, several times, but this was our first time on Regent. Last year, we tried Oceania Marina for the first time and wanted to compare the two as they are sister companies. We’ve had a great cruise but we still (currently) ...
